Man, who opened and relieved today for Cubs; Sandy Koufax and Bob Gibson ? Don't recall seeing that from Arrieta and Strop while in an Os uniform.

 

I guess paybacks are hell and when you are on last place team, you can let it all hang out eh !

 

The start of this series is beginning to feel like last weekend in Cleveland.

 

Let's get our act together guys 👍

But that wasn't always the case. He couldn't command his stuff in Baltimore, leading to a career-high five walks per nine innings pitched last season. The further he gets from the trade the less Arrieta likes to talk about his struggles in Baltimore where he and former pitching coach Rick Adair didn't see eye-to-eye. It wasn't a hostile relationship, but it didn't bring out the best in Arrieta on the mound.

 

"There were some things there that inhibited my ability to take that next step," Arrieta said last year. "There were things going on there that kind of restricted me a little bit."

 

Which means the change of scenery may have been the best thing for him.
