Jake Arrieta: luck, BABIP, LOB%, and more

[birdwatcher55]

Arrieta starts tonight in place of Matusz...Hold onto to your hats

[Matt P]

Lead off double in the 2nd and then strikes out the side. There is no denying his talent and "stuff" it's just a matter of consistency. Let's hope he doesn't fall apart later in the game and can get some confidence back going against this horrible Pirates line up.

[Jordan Tuwiner]

5 Ks for Arrieta through two. BABIP against is .667.

Pitched pretty well against a horrible hitting team in the Pirates. But maybe thats what his confidence needs. Best of luck to Jake in his next start.

This was a pretty good article. It involves 4 of the Orioles starters including Jake
