Yes, he is your ace, until he isn't. Short leash, probably. Disaster start, maybe. Best option: definitely.

Eh? I’d say the “until he isn’t” has already arrived. He has been one of the worst starting pitchers in the majors since the ASB

He made 14 starts after the All Star game. In 13 of those 14 starts, he threw 69 innings with 45 earned runs for a 5.86 ERA - that would be the second-worst mark for a qualified starter over the full season, ahead of only Jordan Lyles' 6.28 ERA.

But what’s wild is that one other start was a no hitter
