I knew that whichever team was going to get him was going to get a good starter. Just needed a change of scenery, since his confidence was crushed in Baltimore. Had good stuff, just made too many mistakes.

He's doing better than I thought he would though.

12-1 with 0.99 ERA over his past 15 starts

7-0 0.30 ERA since August 1st



If those aren't cy young numbers ya'll are crazy. Obviously wins mean shit unless a pitcher hits 20 for some reason, and Arrieta might be the only 20 game winner this year.

yeah if he did that over 30 games, those are cy young numbers for sure. not 15 games and not 7 games though.

If there was no Greinke (or he gets bombed the rest of the season) it would be a toss-up between him and Kershaw and I'd lean towards Arrieta for carrying a staff on his back all year.

Kershaw has the strikeouts
Arrieta has the wins

everything else is basically identical.

kershaw's carrying too....well, him and greinke

their bullpen sucks. it's tough to pitch a game knowing that you HAVE to go at least 7, ideally 8 or 9 otherwise the team prolly won't fair too well

kershaw has the history, the better non pitching baseball game (not sure if thats a factor into a cy young, but if 2 pitchers are identical and one fields his position better and handles the bat better, he should get the edge), and the sex appeal though.

fielding your position should definitely play a factor....

bat to a lesser degree since the gap shouldn't be too drastic and likewise for it's impact on the game
