I don't know what it is but something is very wrong on this team, something happened, i hope they're just tired but it would be too easy to say oh well they're tired don't worry

Arrietatrash. He sucks now and so does everyone else.

Definitely has to be more than just fatigue....or missing Fowler.

I don't know what to say. The Cubs haven't even been good time killing entertainment over the last 3 weeks.

Justin Verlander?

He was at least pretty dominant for several years before he went weird. Arrieta had one crazy season a few good ones before. I think we may ave gotten spoiled from last year, but lately he hasn't really been close.

Verlander I think was just bad all season

Hammaker had an AS/cyyoung first half before falling apart in 2nd half..

Arrieta was Mr perfect cy young last year and had that streak going for what 3 mos. this year, til his last 3-4 starts

Wow...

I mean...the guy is naked on front of ESPN the body. You are asking for this. He has a couple hiccups and I don't like the adjustment he made. He seems to be landing funny and jerking his body into his pitching motion late.

This too shall pass. Jake isn't quite right at the moment, and this team has been dieing to get him for 18 months. They are his biggest vicitim, so this is expected kinda.

its kinda wild that an entire staff could be that hot for that long, and then just lose it, but its Arrieta, Hendricks, Lackey, and Hammels just one egg after another.

So actual question, is Arrieta really pitching that poorly tonight(i get he's been iffy in general)? I don't have the game up and i'm just following the box score but the main reason he's been trouble this year is walks of which he has none and he's thrown ~70% strikes. 6 k's in 4 looks good. Obviously 2 HR's isn't what you wanna see but seems more like a case of him just letting 2 pitches hurt him.

Hendricks??? he's 3-0 in last 4 starts and has given up just 3 runs in his last 25 innings pitched.

Seems like Jake has been better than Liriano. 84 pitches vs 54 right now. HR's hurt but I believe he is adjusting and attacking the plate. The HR's are a result being around the plate.

Overall no...

Didn't look good early with 2 gopher balls but seem to settle in a bit and making good pitches to get out of trouble..


Now the bats........
