    Why Arrieta not on the hill tomorrow, Sat, or Sunday?

    No injury mention I can find.

    He gets help from medicine cabinet. Nothing else explains his stats.

    Just reshuffling the rotation. They were going to do this all the way. They didn't want him making 33 starts. Going to also probably be a 6-man for awhile.

    Wow. Just stamp "I don't have a clue" on your forehead.

    For one thing, no other journeyman has ever done the things that he's done. Even if he never pitched again, to label him a "journeyman" is pretty ridiculous. No journeyman has ever dominated for an extended stretch like that. Not one.

    But I find it funny that he can dominate for like 25-30 starts, mbut now that he has 4 or 5 bad ones, everyone assumes that those are real and that the much longer stretch is not. We'll see. I'm betting on him getting back to form. Probably never have a run like he had 2nd half last season (probably nobody ever will), but still high quality. Time will tell.

    No one has ever gone from
    Journeyman to two no hitters in 10 days and his stats. Possibility he used PED

    Probably not PED. Maybe he perfected the art of the dirty-sunblock formula.

    I think you're right. I wish Bochy woulda given MadBum more of a blow, but he's actually pitching on regular rest even though the Giants had 4 days off.
