You just need 2 baserunners and 2 HR in different IP to drive your ERA north.
He has posted above 14% HR/FB% in 3 of his 7 years of duty. 2016? 21% thus far. Say he normalizes that number to his 12% career HR/FB%; it still awful.
Regarding Porcello? LOL!
Well, I still think that Porcello is a pitcher around 4.5 ERA; a 4.0 ERA at best. Last night he faced arguably the weakest lineup in baseball.
Is he a 3.51 ERA pitcher? No way. i.e. IMO he is going to allow 3-4 runs per night through 5-7 IP all year which is an improvent of what he did last year, but a performance which still won't justify his contract.
We'll see, though. Hopefully I'm wrong.
Is Alfonso the Mexican guy who just joined to Fox Sports? If so, yeah, I love the guy. I follow him as well when he broadcast some games of our local league. He is so funny.
He needs to take advantage against this s***** line up. If he can't settle down his FB/HR, I don't know against who.
So far, good. Hopefully he continuous like this. We'll see.
