Just checked my perspective, and he's still missing spots and walking guys. Just calling it how it is.

He's a decent starting pitcher but an argument can be made that he's our 6th or 7th best starter this season if you consider Peacock and McHugh having strong seasons again.

He's not the DK of old, and the success of the staff around him is making his weak performances stick out

I remember being really excited about getting Joe Smith

I know we got the out... but damn McCann your crappy throw might have just injured Correa

It's because he needs pine tar.

Lol an emotional girl? Wow. Relax a bit my friend. I never once said he was garbage but you obviously overreacted and interpreted it that way.

He's had several outings where he's gotten knocked around because he's walked hitters and he's left fat pitches over the plate. And he's also had several solid outings where he located and got his vintage ground balls and weak contact. 99% of posters on here would agree. I completely agree that we have an embarrassment of riches on the staff, but he has always talked a big game and this was a contract year for him, so I expected a veteran former Cy Young to have a better year so far.

Is that an accurate and reasonable take or am I being an emotional girl?

I agree with most of that.

I still think your original reaction to him having a bad day was a little bit emotional and not based on the big picture. Sorry for the name-calling.

Hit the bullpen wall padding and then flew over the fence without hitting the ground

This is the offense I remember from last year. Hitting the ball hard late in the game and deep!

There has to be someone come overrule them. That's a homerun.

I don't necessarily think it was the wrong call. They just yanked us around by saying double, home run, double

Is it a double if it hits the top of the wall and goes over? What if it hits a player's glove and goes over? Both of those are home runs. This isn't any different.

Also got robbed because Altuve is easily standing on 3rd if that doesn't go over the fence and Carlos' near jack would've been a sac fly. Catching some bad breaks today
