[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1664583, member: 26283"] There's a couple ways you could look at it. Maybe he's not considered as bad because he only pitched 86.1 innings and didn't hurt his team as often. On the other hand, he had a -2.1 bWAR in only 86.1 innings. It took Edwin Jackson 140.2 innings pitched to get to -2.3 bWAR in 2014. The only reason Arrieta didn't surpass Jackson's mark is because the Cubs took mercy on Arrieta and released him. Kyle Farnsworth actually managed a -2.5 bWAR in only 46.2 innings pitched in 2002. Arrieta 2021 5-11, 6.88 ERA, 86.1 innings Jackson 2014 6-15, 6.33 ERA, 140.2 innings Farnsworth 2002 4-6, 7.33 ERA, 46.2 innings And those are very easily your worst Cubs pitching performances of the 21st Century thus far. ETA - Jim Bullinger's -2.4 bWAR in 1996 is the only other sub -2 performance I can find since 1970 - 6-10, 6.54 ERA, 129.1 innings. [/QUOTE]
