Yes, but it's not good compared to his first two seasons. Also, the fact that league-wide average era is down a tick makes it somewhat more concerning.

Crazy how he can be flawless for almost two years and just drop off a cliff the last six starts….is he hurt?

Maybe too much too fast and suffering arm fatigue. His fb is down a couple mph I keep hearing.

Vs Philly
4IP 7ER 2HR

3.62 ERA

I’m not an expert on this but could be by design? The harder you throw the higher the RPMs?

The Pirates can keep lying and saying this is by design, but it’s obviously bullshite.

If he was averaging 96-97 but still touching 100 when it mattered, maybe. But he hasn't hit 100 once. You're telling me that over a nine-game losing streak, there wasn't one high-leverage pitch where he reached back for everything he had? That's nonsense.

One rumor I've seen on X is he is dealing with some arm fatigue which can be nothing but also I've seen that mentioned then surgery. His FB was down 0.7 MPH yesterday averaging 96.3 mph. He was at 93-94 a lot yesterday which could have been due to the heat but he pitched in Louisiana so it wasn't that bad.
