how in the fuck did the cubs luck into this guy?
>>67460722
They didnt, he lucked into PED's
He was a natural talent that the orioles were trying to ruin by changing his mechanics.
>>67460722
107 years' worth of karma
Roided up the tits
>>67460848
i lol'd
team juice sessions
>>67460722
He was managing a mass in his elbow during his Orioles career and was told not to throw his cutter to alleviate it, everyone always knew he was a talented pitcher. Better question is why did his old pitching coach butt heads with him.
Oh and thanks Orioles for packaging in Strop too.
Old Oriole managment under McPhail was retarded except for trading Bedard for Tillman and Jones

>>67460787
so basically the orioles are a laughing stock of MLB now?
>>67460722
Chris Bosio, the Cubs pitching coach. He perfected Arrieta's mechanics, polished up Lester, turned Hammel into an ace, Hendricks into a contender, and lets see what happens with Lackey.

All they did was give him Sosa's old locker and he found the secret compartment
Question is, what happens when it runs out?
I can't wait til this faggot is busted for PED's
>>67466600
>>67466876
>>67466914
The O's will always be a laughingstock as long as this asshole owns them.
>>67477359
you'll have to wait because it won't happen. his stuff is literally the same as when he was a 5+ ERA pitcher, he's just allowed to use his best pitch now because he's not with the Orioles MUH FASTBALL staff.
>MLB says more names to come in PED list and will be released this week
>That was last week
It's over anti Pilate fags, Arrieta is here to stay.
is jake arrieta the best pitcher of all time?
>>67460722
>>67466625
Goddamn Cubs fans really have not been following baseball very long have they?
Arrieta has been figured out. 2 of his last three games have been dogshit and word is out that he has no putaway pitch. Arrieta relies on 1) getting ahead in the count and 2) getting soft contact.
Now teams are just fouling off the cutter and waiting for Arrieta to walk them (Arrieta has a shit ton of walks this year), or just running up his pitch count to 100 in the 5th inning. Arrieta is toast.
>>67481070
All his velocities went up by like 5 mph wtf are you talking about.
>>67487165
His offspeed pitches did
>>67487232
his fastball didnt go up 5 mph, but it did go from 92.8 to 94.4... that's a substantial jump. And really, "mechanics" and "yoga" dont explain it.
This dude is obviously juicing, his voice doesn't match his persona
>>67487289
>his voice doesnt match his persona
>if your voice doesnt match your body you are juicing
please be bait,
