daa84 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 no idea how he went from bum to best pitcher alive but he did. At age 29 and 30 too. Only even somewhat comparable thing I've seen is halladay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Beast Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 SI seems to think it was Pilates and his diet that made him a better pitcher. I don't think Loaiza was this good when he was signed and turned it around. I understand they were chasing history but I think it's stupid to have your pitcher throw 120 pitches when he is ahead by 16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fathom Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 From the parts I saw tonight, it was the worst command he's had in a long time. Reds pretty much gave up after the first inning. An amazing stat I saw is the last 6 times Cubs scored in first inning for him, he hasn't allowed a run in that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Is this the low point for Sox fans in terms of their relative position against the Cubs? If it wasn't last post-season, or 2003...it feels like it is coming soon. Would hate to compare the tv and radio ratings for the respective series this week...but it would be interesting to see how many more were watching Arrieta tonight (granted, the no-hitter will attract more the last three innings, but the "average" over the broadcast) and compare it with the Sale start. Of course, that's not altogether fair since it was a day game, but the Cubs are just sucking all the air out of the room. It almost makes you cringe HOPING that something bad happens (not an injury to Arrieta)...that strange sensation of rooting almost as hard against the Cubs as for the White Sox.
