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

[henri]

No injury mention I can find.

July 18 he will be ready to fire

[henri]

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

what's so special about July 18?

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.

[Brock Landers]

Rest

He needs a lot of it

Lester too

[jjgold]

His arm is dead

[chico2663]

rag arm

[Ted Sheckler]

pussy hurts from not being named NL starter.

[jjgold]

HE had a career year

very few come back from that

He in reality is a journeyman pitcher

[Chi_archie]

Can't wait to see Adam Warren get some starts

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.

He already got one. Did OK, but Warren is pretty mediocre.

[intermission]

Jake became shitty after he got naked on a magazine.

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

[eidolon]

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

[dwatersalec]

Wants to spend more time making his butt nice and tight for next year's Body issue.

because Joe Maddon knows how to manage pitchers. they're thinking title, not regular season wins

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.

[BaseballChaser]

Sneaking in extra rest. I like it.
