I've seen enough of Arroyo

[redsfan28]

His line from tonight's game:

3.2 IP, 10 H, 8 R, 8 ER, 1 BB, 5 K, 7.56 season ERA.

Either be a lounge singer/make bad commercials or take your day job seriously. Doing both is no longer acceptable!!!!

[redsrbetter]

Not that I am making excuses for him, but I don't get why everyone chalks this off as a guy who enjoys too many things. He has his hobbies, so what. I think he just flat out sucks right now and it is no way attributed to his night life. That, of course, is just my opinion.

I just don't get it. Maybe hitters have finally figured it out? He caught too much of the plate tonight much as Belisle did a few nights ago. Jocketty said he had to be his mechanics. Hopefully they figure this out soon.

[CincyRedsFan30]

Yeah, mechanics, which equals lack of ANY command of the breaking ball (as I said after seeing him in person), which equals poor results, since that's his "pitch" he can use in any situation to either get ahead of a batter or get an out. Still some strikeouts, but lots of hits. As I said, unless something's physically wrong, I expect him to start pitching better pretty soon.

[Doppelgänger]

When Jocketty was in the booth bad mechanics were what he seemed to think was going on. Didn't sound to concerned with it.

[redsrbetter]

I really hope so guys. And CRF, you have been pretty spot on with your scouting reports a lot of the times so lets hope it turns out the way you see it.

Here are Arroyo's thoughts on his latest performance:

“I’m just getting beat, man, that’s all there is to it,” said Arroyo. “There’s nothing else to say.”

man I hope things turn around soon

[redsrbetter]

Love that Cubs Fan sig bro! Haha

i've been getting *****ed at for a while now on my serious dislike of Arroyo. glad to see people coming around..

[redsfan28]

I'm not completely convinced its just mechanics. But hey, what do I know. If Jocketty thinks its mechanics, who am I to argue. I just think that his gigs are affecting him.

[redsfan28]

I guess we will see whether its mechanics or the space between his ears tonight.

[redsrbetter]

Well I just hope he and Pole have figured it out after reviewing his mechanics on video all week. We'll see. It would be huge to get a boost from Arroyo.

[NFLman2033]

meh, quality start in terms of stats only. this is how deceptive Arroyo is.. he gets a quality Start.. but really that 6th inning could have went either way.. he got out of it because he was facing a guy he had owned all night.. it could have just as easy been a 4 or 5 run game with one swing of the bat.. right now he is #4 Pitcher on this team.. if we can just get 1 more SP in there to make Arroyo the #5 guy.. I would be happy.. I am not convinced Belisle will ever be anything other than Long Relief..
