quote:

His numbers as a rookie outpace Jose Fernandez when he was at the same spot.
after 11 games Fernandez had a 3.34 ERA then got hot, a couple of bad games (Fernandez had 3 during those 11 starts) and his ERA is back up. I think the 100 inning mark is a better indicator than 64 innings.

I mean Aaron Harang had a 2.02 ERA this year after 11 starts and 70 innings... so things can change quickly with so few innings pitched.

I'm just reporting the facts.

Astros have the 3 of the top 6 pitchers in ERA in the AL.

Those are just the facts. Sorry you don't like it.

I understand that..and I think its very possible his stats go a little down, but the potential is off the charts.

Guess at this point, while yes as his innings increase he may trend downward, but he has shown that on any single night he can be as electric as any pitcher in the league. Experience and maturity will only cement that.

Numbers can be compared but the point is, McCullers has elite stuff. A blazing fastball that moves plus a curve Fangraphs today just said is a clone of Kimbrel's. Assuming he is healthy, LMJ should continue to be at least pretty damn good this season.
