    He is averaging 16.9 per inning so far (16.1 before his last 2 outings where he said he was having neck issues)

    6 ip @16 = 96
    6 ip @17 = 102

    He would need to average 14 to get 7 innings in under 100 pitches. But he has done that in 3 of his 10 starts so it can he done just not counted on.

    The Garcia setback is potentially very disappointing. We really need him to stabilize our rotation. Pretty much have to add a SP if he's not ready to go post all star break.

    I mean- 8 is better than 6 but it’s hard to get 8 dudes.

    What a turnaround by this team. All the poor play at the beginning of the season. Jose Abreu. Injuries. Underperforming players. Did I mention injuries?

    BUT… Ronel Blanco. Hunter Brown becoming an absolute DAWG. Bregman returning back to form. Altuve continuing his HOF pace. Yanier. Jon freakin Singleton. Several young guys stepping up. WINNING AT MMP.

    unbelievable season thus far

    Dubon insurance… good move.

    Most memorable moments - hit a big HR in the covid playoffs… and then tried to get that HBP in game 1 of the 2022 WS.

    Nope, until he proves that he can lead the team to wins in close games.

    Always liked him, was a shame he could never stay healthy with the Stros.
