7/2 Cubs (Arrieta) v. Mets (Colon) 7:15, Fox

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

So Lester is our only good starting pitcher anymore this sucks.

[Schwarber Fan]

Reds on Monday. Everything will be okay.

 

Great, we'll beat up on the Reds and other horsefeathers teams and then get swept by the Mets or Giants.

[cwood218]

the sky is falling

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Thank god we didn't extend him in the off-season.

[gobigred]

Anyone up in the pen?

[Gilby]

Stop getting destroyed by a team with James Loney hitting cleanup.

[illiniguy]

A team with James Loney hitting clean up is gonna sweep us, in 2016. Baseball is so stupid.

[Bryants Disco Ball]

So if Jake is broken how does it impact the division race, if at all?

Man, it's really unfair how the Cubs aren't allowed to make any moves before the deadline. Weird.

[Andy]

This is so depressing. Just give us the injury news and stop the death march.

[Stu]

When was the last good Arrieta start? I can't even remember.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

This is so depressing. Just give us the injury news and stop the death march.

 

His stuff is fine, the command is poor. That doesn't necessarily mean injury.

Yeah, it's more like he's got some kind of pitching yips instead of being hurt. Teams started laying off more and he hasn't been able to adjust yet.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Theo looks concerned...

[Stu]

Isn't this the pitcher he was in Baltimore though?

Pretty much. Looks like a massive move to the mean.

[Gilby]

Theo is stress-eating the horsefeathers out of that peanut.

Finding the most unfavorable combination of starts that we can(aside from silliness like his last 1 start), Arrieta has a 3.73 ERA(including the 2 ER/1 IP today). This is bad Arrieta and it is still a huge difference from his Baltimore days.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Arrieta's ability to control his violent stuff was always based on otherworldly strength and body control. It wouldn't take much in terms of being tired or aging to lose it.

 

(I mean, duh, being a God-level pitcher is hard).

Yes I didn't mean in terms of results, I meant good stuff/poor command.

[Gilby]

Oh GTFO with that strike call

[illiniguy]

And Colon gets that call.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

[expletive] strike 3 call.

[KrisBryantisaBeast]

What an awful call that wasn't even close to strike.

[NotSoSober]

Ugh, Buck calling Contreras 26...

He's the worst
