		<description>Interestingly, almost the entire difference between first half Arroyo (5.45 career RA/9) and second half Arroyo (4.08 RA/9) can be attributed to BABIP (.309 vs. .276) and strand rate (67.2% vs. 74.6%) as his first and second half FIPs only differ by a quarter of a run.</description>

		<description>Arroyo has said he lives on his chemical compounds to perfrom.  Perhaps his chemist got a better combination going?</description>

		<description>I was at the 4/25 Atl at Cin game in some very nice seats behind home.  Arroyo kept throwing a side arm spinner.  Every time the ball left his hand you knew it was going to get pounded.  And it did.  His stats for the day: 5.2 IP, 9 ER (though it should be noted Dickerson and Encarnacion did not help any). 

Just looking briefly through his pitch f/x release location charts, it looks like he went from throwing his curve and slider sidearmed and his fastball and cutter overhand to throwing everything a little more from 3/4.</description>

		<description>People have mentioned the guitar stuff.  Arroyo also received a second cortizone injection in mid-July for the carpel tunnel, apparently, which coincides with his rebound.  Whether it&#039;s a causal connection, though, I dunno.  I tend to think the guy&#039;s just streaky, as are many pitchers.

		<description>I dominated some fantasy leagues by picking him up at the all-star break in a few of them...

Those kind of splits don&#039;t mean much to me, but taking chances on guys like Arroyo and LaRoche who have shown trends for years seems to pay off sometimes.</description>

		<description>Duncan and LaRussa are pompous asses.

Arroyo should have said that he was borrowing the trick that Duncan taught Julian Tavarez when he was in Stl.</description>
