Will someone please put the cornrows back in Bronson Arroyo's hair.
Ever since the starting Red Sox pitcher removed them, he hasn't been the same.

Much like Sampson, Arroyo's strength may be in his hair.

Here's a little something to think about: With the cornrows, Arroyo was 4-0 with an ERA around 3.19. Without them, he's gone 0-3 with a 10.29 ERA.
Only once after changing his hairstyle, has he been able to go more than four innings.

However, Arroyo should be able to bounce back against the Reds. Cincinnati leads the league in strikeouts. He could use a boost in confidence.

If he doesn't bounce back, I'm sending him a hairstylist.

Game time is at 7 p.m.
