After playing a really encouraging game Friday night, where they built big innings, came though with men on base, etc., the Cubs reverted Saturday night to their old ways. Three runs scored, all on home runs.
In addition, Arrieta pitched badly again. This time he blamed the humidity. Last time it was a cut on his finger. Maybe. However, Arrieta has pitched the same game at least every other time he has started since last August. Should he survive the first inning relatively unscathed, he will sail along until the fifth or sixth when he will lose command and blow the game. This time it was the fifth. Time to be honest here. Something is wrong and it doesn't seem to be improving.
