Halfway through the season, and the Cubs seem determined to underwhelm and frustrate.
Speaking of, Arrieta pitches today. He gave up 6 R (5 earned) in four innings while striking out 4 and walking 6 (otherwise known as the Bad Arrieta) on Tuesday against the Nationals. He was 2-2 with a 4.85 in June, which sounds a lot like going 2-3 with a 4.54, which he did in May, or 3-1 with a 4.66 like his April. I’m sensing a pattern, but I’m sure Scott Boras would attempt to convince you otherwise.
