Also it doesn’t matter if you are in a winning team. If you suck you suck. If you are good you are good. It’s that simple. Porcello was mediocre most of the times regardless the team he played for.
A 4.6 ERA career pítcher is not a number 2, neither a No. 3 nor a good pitcher. Simply no way—even if you try to demerit ERA. It is not a small sample either.
He is mediocre; average at very very very best. He is a No. 4. AND if you rush me, a No. 5. It doesn’t matter how you slice it.
I don’t think you guys are getting the point.
If Cora PH Duran, he would have scored in the 7th and the game would have been 2-1 at that point with still 2 outs, with RISP, and with the momentum in effect.
In all fairness while Cora most of the times takes good decisions, he wasn’t that sharp tonight. He could have done better here and there specially when Dalbec was at 2B with 2 outs.
