The fact of the matter is that to this point, he's not getting the job done.

Except when he does

Your argument should be that it's not likely to continue based on x and y

Arguing he hasn't been bad is silly.

except it really isn't cause he really hasn't been that bad. All of this hand wringing is literally over 2 crappy starts to St Louis

For example, since 2013, this is his era once you take out game 6 of the 2013 NLCS and game 1 of the 2014 NLDS, 2.86. Is that frick you dominate like he usually is? No. But is that really so bad to where we have this idiotic narrative that he can't pitch in the postseason? frick no. He had two bad starts years ago and since then, he's been pretty damn good and has had multiple starts where he absolutely shut the opponent down. Even on the road in elimination games like last year against the Mets
