Up next, 4 @ White Sox.
When Pivetta is on, he looks awesome.
I know you can say that about a lot of pitchers, but Nick has had a few very nice stretches in several seasons, along with some real stinker stretches.
Since May 28th, last year, he has been excellent.
110 pitchers with 120+ PAs (before today's awesome game)
ERA-
14. Houck 73 (ahead of Kelly & Verlander)
17. Pivetta 76 (probably up close to Houck, now. Ahead of Gray and Monty))
41. Crawford 90 (tied with Nate & Nola)

Had to tape today's game. Great performance all around. Pivetta was excellent. Congrats to Westbrook getting his 1st ML hit. A very touching moment.
All in all one of the SOX best games of the season.
He has pitched like the teams #1 or 2 pitcher for some stretches longer than 2-3 months.
He's pitched like a #3 for 2-3 month stretches, too.

His bad stretches are usually not all that long, but sometimes they are and they can be really bad (below a #5.)

The White Sox have a total of only 15 wins so far this season. They might be one of the worst teams in a long time.
Old school is good school.
