Is the Arrieta card trash?
-
He doesn't have any go-to pitch. The sinker is ok, but most people who have been playing for awhile can hit a sinker now. I didn't like him
-
yeah he sucks
-
I’ve only faced him once and put 6 on him in the first inning. Years ago that card was a nightmare!
-
Tiny sample size but I used him for 5 innings in the event and gave up just 1 run, 3 different outings

Or is it just me (as usual)? This guy has like no out pitch. I took the stubs after two terrible outings, but maybe I didn’t give him enough time?
Yeah, I'm not that impressed by his pitching either. However, I am impressed that he just went yard on me in the last game I faced him lol, go figure.

From years past I always remember his delivery made it really easy to pick up the ball.

Yet in real life, his delivery is funky. Sucks for the card!

In 17 he was really, really good. But totally different engine.
-
No, he is bad. Not enough velo, not enough break and average /9s. He’s good at most things, but not elite at any things.
-
I haven't had a lot of success with him but like others have mentioned, I'm basically collecting as many cards as I can at this point. I even have like all but 3 of the bats lol.
-
I'm not a fan of him or Verlander in ranked. Best thing about that pair is they sell for more than a million stubs combined.
-
The one time I used him against good competition he got rocked. His command isn’t nearly good enough to make up for the lack of velo and easy delivery to pick up.
-
Arrieta has been WAY better than Verlander for me. But i guess that’s not saying a whole lot.
