I realize its heresy in these here parts to praise the guy given the ace price we paid to get him vis a vis how he has performed.
We will forever think of RA negatively when Noah blows away another hitter.
When you look at his numbers aside from chewing up IP they aren't impressive.
BUT his last 10-12 starts have been solid (one when he was dealing with loss of his Father) and when we needed a big start on enemy turf last night he gave it.
Like most, watching him pitch usually pisses me off, but he has pitched well enough to think you almost have to pick up that 2016 option just to get the innings out of him.
Keep it rollin' RA. Thanks.
