Joba has either been lights out or terrible this yr. He's on a good streak since being removed from the setup role. 5.1IP 1H 0ER 5K 1BB.
Speaking of Joba. Kinda interesting stats. It seems like his stuff is mental more than anything.
He went into a game on May 16th with a 2.16ERA. He then allowed 10ER in his next 5IP. He then allowed 6ER in his next 14.2IP (3.67ERA) but showed continued problems with control. He then allowed 10ER over his next 6IP. This removed him from the setup role and essentially has put him back on track again. I know you cannot just remove samples, but if you remove his two bad streaks, you have 8ER in 36.2IP, for a 1.96ERA. This tells me he has two problems.
1. He has been inconsistent in his command
2. He lacks mental toughness.
His stuff is back, throwing 97-98 consistently of late. He just lacks trust in his stuff
