Most realize that Jake Arrieta can, sometimes, walk too many hitters.
Over 72 1/3 innings in his first 13 Major League starts this year, he has walked 40 hitters, that's a high number.
But on nights when he has kept the walk number low, he's been pretty good. In five of Arrieta's 13 O's starts, he has walked two or fewer hitters. His ERA in those five starts is 2.70 and he has three of his four wins in those games.
It's a small sample size, of course, but the message is pretty clear. ...
