Is it possible he really pitched half the year without the wipe out slide. That thing is nasty right now.

Olney tweet
In getting the first 13 outs of this game, Arrieta generated 14 swings-and-misses. A big percentage for him.

All part of THE PLAN. He wanted everyone to think that he was weak and struggling heading into the playoffs... Oops.

That and not Kerry Wood his shoulder. If he MadBum's the post season how much is he worth. In theory being able to half ass the regular sedason with an ERA about 3, is 18-7. Then decides to turn it on, and demolish their arch rival in crunch time.

Yeah, I would take him cruising through the season if it meant a 3 ERA and then devastating teams in the postseason. I don't need him to win 20+ every year. Just save it for October.

Chris Sale was 0-4 with a 8.72 ERA versus the NL this year.

Chris Sale only has success because he pitches in a weak AL and AL Central.

Since July 1 (11 starts, one third of a season), Arrieta has had pretty much the second best stretch of his career, with a 1.69 ERA, .568 OPS against (only 5 HR given up in 69 1/3 innings), 3:1 K/BB, 0.955 WHIP and since JORR / Frank / FF can't understand any of that, a 7-2 record.

Dominant.

edit: He now has the 7th best ERA in the National League.

Yeah. Jake is a winning pitcher. Quintana is not. The sooner you embrace this fact, the better.

Agreed. The alternatives in free agency this year are awful, though.

In that same stretch, Jose Quintana is also a winning pitcher.

I would offer Arrietta 3 years 100 million. He's been a top 5 starter in baseball this year.

It has now changed for me. I'd offer 5 years and $145M.

Well as a starting point he has to get more than Samaedzija.

Last seven opponents:

white sox
diamondbacks
giants
diamondbacks
blue jays
reds
pirates

That is four last place teams. One fourth place team. Three of the four worst records in all of baseball.

OMG, OMG, OMG...the cubbies have been so super awesome since the all star break!

Chicken and egg.

Isn't the general consensus that you play .500 against the good teams and make hay on the rest ?

Jake has definitely righted the ship and gotten himself back in the 5 year deal range...but probably closer to $150mil rather than $200+ over 5-7 years.
