Now who's silly?
I realize these guys have a good shot on improving those numbers, but I wouldn't get high and mighty about others being silly by talking about Kluber.
Nice volley of rhetorical questions.
Obviously the concern is that Kluber has to make multiple more starts and continues to allow 6 runs per 9 innings. Of course they would probably DFA him, but that doesn't really make it a win.
IMHO pinch-hitting with Reyes in the 4th inning last night shows what a good manager Cora is. It turned out to be key to the game. He has a good sense of when to be aggressive.
You're being a bit selective, considering that Kluber threw a grand total of 116 innings for the years 2019-2021. If we only use 2022, Carlos Rodon has no injury concerns either.
The only kind of major league pitcher I ever wanted to take some swings against was a knuckleballer like Wakefield. I realize he would make me look like an idiot, but at least I would have a chance of hitting the ball if I got really lucky.
And right after me pointing out his slim total of 4 doubles, and Dipre telling me they were on the way, he increased his total by 50% in one game.
His season OPS is an even 700 now. I guess you could say he's a 700hitter.
