    Arrieta 3-3, 4.05 last 6 starts, 29 HA and 17 BB

    Remember when a few Cubs fans believed he was as good as Kershaw?

    That whole Cubs team is coming back down to earth. They'll make the playoffs but I don't think they're as invincible as they looked early on. They need to make a move before the trade deadline for a bullpen guy or two in my opinion. It's a long long season.

    His last 5 starts--- runs allowed: 0-2-2-1-4.

    Herniated disc with an uncertain time table of return is a pretty big one.

    Why won't the Cubs give him huge extension? Do they know something we don't?

    PED's?
    Injuries??

    Not according to this ESPN report.

    Sounds pretty straight forward.

    Honestly, I expect him back within 5-6 weeks and to your point...no Arrieta couldn't sniff Kershaws 1st half. Nobody could. Herniated discs can go south in a hurry. They have to correct the problem then correct what caused it...whatever that may be. Could even be his delivery. If that's the case then you open up a can of worms. Point is, rest of the season, he's no lock to be better than Arrieta.

    Many fantasy team certainly needs him...and I like watching him pitch. Hopefully it's just a short stint.

    Because they have leverage. Back when they were talking about a contract why would you give him market price? Still have him under contract for a year and a half.

    I'm just wondering... where is the man's balls in that ESPN body issue?

    Does he have any?
