Jake was interviewed by ESPN 1000 for an hour on Monday. He said the reason he is pitching so well is that he dumped everything pitching coaches were telling him and he just went back to what worked for him his whole life. Jake fixed Jake of sorts.
Masterful performance by him when the team needed him most.
When Jake steps on the mound on Monday against St Louis, good night Cardinals.
The dude is like Pablo Picasso out there -- painting every square inch of the strike zone. And he won't find a more hostile crowd than last night because Cubs fans will be invading St. Louis this weekend. It'll be a sea of Cubbie Blue tomorrow.
Was an impressive outing last night, really fun to watch. Some tense innings, DPs saving us, amazing defense, but he regained control and shut them out. Great game.
