Some of that is on Girardi when he was pulling him after 85 pitches and some of that is on Evo not being efficient. <br /><br />You may not think so, and that's fine, but with the confidence in his splitter will come the added innings. The more he throws it for contact and outs and the less he nibbles at the plate the longer he will go into games. That takes time unfortunately.

Still high era. Still is basically a 5 inning pitcher. Still throws 98 and doesn't have the strikeouts to back up the arm. Still gives up way to many hits and still taxes the bull pen. Sorry Burch I'll say it now like I've said it before. This is a 98 mph Aaron Small.

Can also agree that his 12-2 record is smoke and mirrors and not a great judge of how he pitched. When I get home I'll check out FIP, probably the best stat to judge a pitcher on.

My argument remains the same... Before last night he hasn't allowed more than three runs in 10 straight starts. <br /><br />My point remains the same, give him four runs and he is still winning most of those games.

Even reporters asked about being lucky and he didn't like it yet they flashed a graphic that he gets 7.60 runs per game. Sorry Littoe P the guy is Aaron Small. With a high octane arm and has no out away pitch.

Tanaka and Pineda are both better pitchers than Straight yet Evo has a higher WAR number. Look what he did tonight. 5 1/3 innings only 4K's and 3 walks and gave up 7 hits in his stint. And again the Yanks have scored at the time I am writing this 7 runs for him. You're argument all the time is he is a 4 or a 5 and if thats the case then you feel he is fine. My feelings are we gave up a pretty good ball player in Prado for a number 5 pitcher when we have better in Warren. A guy that throws 98 and has a power arm should be striking out more than 4 guys a game, but you can look at his K's to innings lately and say its almost a K an inning since he usually lasts only 5 1/3 lol Ken Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2676591017018865408.post-23030154723482953732015-08-13T20:55:39.597-04:002015-08-13T20:55:39.597-04:00Hans,

I have never run from that and will not until I am convinced a pitcher who throws 98 PHM and only has 88K's in 123 innings, still gives up a great deal of hits and doesn't go deep into games and gets a ton of run support. You want to start acting like a the 11 win pitcher you are well now is the time to step up and shut down the Indians and go deep into the game so we don't have to see the likes of a Goody or Pinder or whatever Triple A kid they have called up the last few days. This will be a big step to see if he's as good as some of you are claiming.Ken Hanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08248552174229519871noreply@blogger.com
