Not sure I would know. I know in the steriod era it seemed to be an equal mix of monsters hitting/throwing harder than everyone else and a bunch of scrubbing barely hanging on to the MLB min.

Problem is F/X came around only after steroid era was over.

Different numbers from different sources. Sox fans who want to discredit Arrieta buy into the numbers that support their position and ignore those that do not.

At least Sox fans dont say "I'm not going to bother to research all of that"

It's funny, right after I posted this thread is when the media got on this and actually asked Arrieta about it.

Only conclusion I can think of is I'm the one that made it a national discussion. I brought it to the light. You're welcome.

They definitely don't say that about Cubs players.

Might be could be it is.....Dumbest thread ever. Really. This man rebuilt his career by hard work and belief in himself. Diet and discipline. And had the ability all along. @ this bullshit. Watch and appreciate for we are watching one of the best at the top of his craft.

This is why I think a lot of you Cub fans are way too sensitive. Acting like Arrieta is your son or something.

I'm 85% sure the only people in this forum that truly think Arrieta is on PEDs are Beardown and America.

Like you have ever had a girlfriend. Boyfriend perhaps.

AMEN

Low percentage and they are all Sox trolls. But props too them.

Christ, and people think jimmypasta uses dated references .....

Jake Arrieta sounds off on PED rumblings: 'Some people are idiots'

Jake must read the CSFMB and is clearly referring to the "subbies"

If Jake really read this board, he would lose a lot of respect for his team's fan.
