Since Arroyo is a lamo one-man cover band...I wonder if he knows Humble Pie’s clunkerrific “I Don’t Need No Doctor.”
Arroyo met with manager Dusty Baker and pitching coach Dick Pole in Baker’s office on Monday. On Sunday, after Arroyo was hammered for seven runs in just 1 1/3 innings in a 14-7 loss to the Braves, Baker openly wondered if his right-hander was injured and said “we’re going to get him checked out.” When asked a few moments later, it was news to Arroyo and there seemed to be a disconnect. On Monday, Arroyo reiterated that he was feeling fine before going to see Baker.
“I’m not going to the doctor,” Arroyo said. “Why would I go when I feel the best I’ve felt in six years? I have no idea about anything except that my body feels great and I’m getting beat, fair and square. No excuses. You look at the board my last two starts—my velocity is much better than it had been.”
..."He wanted to hear it out of my mouth,” Baker said. “I said, ‘Bronson, I was searching. I really didn’t know what else to put my finger on. When you don’t know, you guys [in the media] are asking questions, ‘I don’t know’ isn’t a very good answer. The second or third time in a row, you start searching.
“I guess it’s been a while since he’s been the original Bronson, right? I just told him we have to work a little harder. Hard work solves a lot of problems. We’ve been working hard but we have to work harder, it’s simple.”

Well, why wouldn't you? The team's paying for it. I'm sure they appreciate you saving them money on the doctor's fee and the MRI costs but, given how many millions we're talking about, where's the harm?
I mean, c'mon. If Baker, of all people, thinks you might be showing signs of an injury, that should be a bit of a red flag. :-)
True, but Baker should really just keep his damn mouth shut.
This year, he's gotten (very) unlucky with baserunners, but he is getting hit hard. He's giving up much more line drives than usual this year, 26.5%, as opposed to around 20% the last several years. His HR / F rate is 19.9%, compared to around 10% the last several years.
I agree with #3. Why wouldn't he go get a checkup?
