Tuesday’s Cubs/Pirates game did not start out well for our favorite team, with Jake Arrieta getting touched up for three runs (two earned) over the first two innings.
But Jake settled down, the Cubs bullpen did its usual outstanding job, Joc Pederson homered twice and the Cubs had their second straight one-run win, 4-3 over the Pirates.

Arrieta, who had been shaky over the first two innings, started mowing down Pirates and then the Cubs put together a three-run fifth. Jake batted for himself and singled with one out.

Judge rejects former Angels employee’s defamation lawsuit against team [The Orange County Register]
Jan. 26 A defamation lawsuit filed against the Angels and Major League Baseball was dismissed in a ruling issued on Monday by the Orange County Superior Court.
Judge Geoffrey T. Glass issued a ruling stating that fired Angels clubhouse manager Brian Harkins had not shown sufficient evidence that he had been defamed by publicity surrounding his dismissal last March. He was fired for providing pitchers with materials to doctor baseballs, in violation of MLB rules.
A hearing was held on Thursday and the ruling released on Monday. Dan Rasmussen, an attorney for Harkins, indicated he plans to appeal.
Judge Geoffrey T. Glass granted the defendants motion to dismiss the complaint on Monday, saying Harkins did not provide sufficient evidence that he was defamed in news reports in the wake of his firing. Published statements do not support the allegation that MLB or the Angels authorized those statements, Glass wrote, per the
Times. In order to hold an organization liable for defamation, the person saying the defamatory things must be authorized to speak on behalf of the organization.
In news reports on Harkins s firing, sources confirming his dismissal were unnamed, limiting his ability to prove who defamed him.
Daniel Rasmussen, an attorney for Harkins, said he plans to appeal the ruling.
