Talk Arrieta here

[Transmogrified Tiger]

"Again" implies that Arrieta fixed the problem, which never really happened last year. That said, it's difficult to draw much of anything from the ST environment, and the author notes as much.

He stinks and his beard is dumb.

Dumber than his hat?

[Sammy Sofa]

Good question. He always wants the dumb blue jersey, too. What a dummy.

Arrieta: 4-3, 5.44 ERA, 1.45 WHIP, -0.6 WAR

Feldman: 2-3, 3.59 ERA, 1.21 WHIP, 0.7 WAR

 

Looks like we lost that trade, YEESH

[David]

what's dumb about his hat?

[Derwood]

what's dumb about his hat?

 

It's flat-brimmed and he looks like a goober

[David]

i'm not even a fan of flat brimmed but get with the times old man

 

and he looks like a bad ass so now he needs to pitch like one again

nah

the beard has tough guy equivalent cliche has died

 

now he just looks like he's hiding something and not the location of his next pitch since he has no idea where it'll go

[David]

it's just odd considering like 80% of the team wears it that way. strikes me as a get off my lawn complaint at this point...almost as bad as the strop complaining cardinal fans.

if he were god mode jake, it would look cool. he's giving up a HR on every other fly ball now so he just looks like a poseur. but when he was making MLB hitters look silly at will like he was horsefeathering bob gibson or something and flirting with no hitters like nolan ryan, he looked like a bad ass.

lot of things looked cool ages ago and we found out how dumb and stupid they were with time

if kris bryant and bryce harper started wearing hypercolor, it would be cool

 

man i wish i had that kind of power.

 

 

actually i'm surprised hypercolor hasn't come back with all the 90s retro going around

It looks better than anything Ryan Braun wears, that's for sure.

TRYING TO DECIDE IF I LIKE THIS BEARD OR NOT

[Sammy Sofa]

If Bryant or Rizzo showed up somewhere wearing one of those godforsaken dude-rompers, David would have, like, 8 of them by the weekend.

 

WE GET IT; NOBODY DOUBTS YOU WERE PROGRAMMED TO LOVE EVERYONE ON THIS TEAM.

[BigSlick]

I always thought Arrieta kinda looked like a jacked up leprechaun but i never said anything because I know he can manhandle me

[David]

He stinks and his beard is dumb.

 

oh btw my cousin helped him at a store downtown once and she said he does in fact stink

well that's just not true

 

i don't particularly like zobrist and i could take or leave most of our pitchers

 

baez is weird because i like him but i don't like how he hits.

[Sammy Sofa]

Dear Jake,

 

I feel like I can call you Jake because you and me are so alike. I'd like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a catch. I know I can't throw as fast as you but I think you'd be impressed with my speed. I love your beard, you throw hard. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more. I know you have not been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. I hope you write back this time, and we can become good friends. I am sure our relationship would be a real dong!
