Yes, no doubt, our injuries make this likely a bad choice ATM, as I edited my post above, Strip has been as expected, possibly more concerning bad luck. His K/BB has been fine, also.
Question is who opens against the heart of the order? It'd have to be a high leverage arm like Chatwood, Dolis, etc.
He seems fine as a #5 type, he's been considerably unlucky just by looking at his BABIP. He's also faced a healthy offense in the Yanks, Angels, Astros and Braves twice. It's about what you expect from him, unless he spins another gem like last time out and we might have something, we'll see.
It's funny watching all this on MLBN he's got good stuff. AJ Hinch made me laugh this morning, paraphrasing... "he doesn't realize how good his stuff is, last night was an example, he has to trust his stuff and stop nibbling" I believe he is correct.
Yeah, he's a moron. He basically invited it to happen, all because he hit a HR off a 3-0 count to a positional player in Astudillo, all bets are off when you bring in a tree stump pitching 45 MPH... piss off TL.
ETA: Also, lol @ the bolded, well played.
