Let’s think back to July 2015. Truthfully, it doesn’t feel like it was that long ago. At the 2015 All-Star Break in July, the Cubs were 47-40, and they had been struggling. If you will remember, they had just lost 2 of 3 to the White Sox on the North Side, and had it not been for Jake Arrieta, they may have been swept. The last game before the break, Arrieta tossed a complete game two-hitter, allowing one run, and striking out 9. He also hit a home run in the fifth inning. That was just the beginning of Arrieta’s dominance.
