Chicago Cubs pitcher Jake Arrieta has turned into one of the best pitchers in all of baseball. He won the 2015 NL Cy Young with a minuscule 1.77 ERA, he’s undefeated so far this year and last night he threw his second no-hitter in his last 11 regular season starts. So yeah, he’s pretty freaking awesome.
But it wasn’t always this way. Arrieta suffered through a lot of struggles while he was coming up with the Baltimore Orioles from 2010 to 2013, a fact one fan on Twitter decided to tell him about with a bunch of foul language in 2013. But Arrieta’s response was perfect: right to the point, a little threatening, and, most importantly, 100 percent accurate.
@CWilliams2599 hey good call man. Glad @jakearrieta turned into the long reliever he is today. @BarstoolBigCat pic.twitter.com/QOuDer6xWT

This is how all pro athletes should shutdown Twitter trolls. Cheers to you, Jake, and congrats on that no-hitter.
