Marwin does that with a lot of guys at 2B. They're all buddies, I assume. And JV struck out 2 guys with 2 outs yet they still end up scoring 2 runs. No love from blue.
Apparently, Cole can regress based on 4 outings, but Smith can't progress based on an entire month of results.
Thats interesting. You’re the only one I’ve heard say that. I feel like Smith had progressed but overall has had a bad season as half his outings are junk, including his most recent one. This is reflected in his ERA. 4 outings for a starter is definitely plenty to base a slow regression off of. So, again nice try with the cherry pick and word twisting but in the end, you cant make it work. So, apparently, it is only your theory.
It's a testament to Verlander's composure that he hasn't completely lost his **** at the HPU already.
