Good game to see just how far Arrieta has come, facing a team that beat him up pretty good when he was with orioles
6G 5GS 29 IP 0W 3L 5.90 ERA 1.586 Whip

Well, Castro thought he was a monster power hitter in that at bat. He was swinging out of his shoes.

Would you all be more pissed if they traded Arrieta instead if samardzija ? Probably get a better return for him now

A little bit. Arrieta is favorite pitcher on this team, so I am also biased. But he's cost controlled and he's damn good. So I don't see why they would.

He kinda has if you include last year with cubs

2013 9GS 4W 2L 52 IP 3.66 ERA 1.123 Whip

2014 10 GS 4W 1L 57IP 2.05 ERA 1.105 Whip
Not including tonight 7.2IP 1 Hit 1 BB 0ER
ERA prob goes under 2 and a Whip under 1,10

So, I would say he looking pretty damn good as a cub in his 20 starts with them

Arrieta 5-1 with a 1.81 ERA in 11 GS. All-Star worthy?

The last 30 days Jake has been one of the best pitchers in baseball. Only Kershaw and King Felix have been better. Impressive.
