I said he is a replacement level pitcher that is punching above his weight. What do you want from me?

And I have said as much.

But you refuse to acknowledge that because it doesn't fit your narrative.

I disagree he is a replacement level pitcher depending on what your exact definition of the word is

When he is actually healthy (which has been like less than half his career) he is definitely above average at least.

He has literally never been a top-end rotation guy across his career.

Yeah I know.

I didnt call him a top end arm.

I think there is room for tiers in between top of the rotation pitcher or replacement level pitcher

Replacement level conjures someone like Grant Holmes in my mind.

Perhaps we just are definitionally using them different

Ol replacement level just handled the top of the Phillies lineup. We’re doomed

Since he got to Atl He has been nearly exclusively a 2 pitch pitcher as well which is really strange using the 4 seamer and splitter whereas with the giants he used a 4 pitch mix

I think murph is huge for his success here

This will only work once through the lineup in the playoffs.

Which we can get away with, but the margin for error is miniscule.

Yeah it will the tighest of tight rope walks for sure.

Especially since his 4 seamer while almost always very well located isnt going to blow anyone away sitting around 94 with the ability to maybe hit 96 a few times

Damn didn't know post-TJ Harper had that type of arm anymore.

Caught it with momentum taking him away from the plate, still made it kinda close.

He needs to stop pretending he is Cal Ripken and take a day off

It is beyond clear he needs a mental reset.

We did it with ronald and then he went a 10 game streak of hitting for like a .500 avg
