Mikolas is kicking butt....

He has been awesome for a couple months. Enough said.

As one of his biggest detractors, I must admit that he's making me eat my words, up to this point. If it continues then I would be up for a reunion, I guess. He's pitching like a number 1-2 right now. But, the season is long and fraught with peril. LOL

He’s had a fortunate run here of late but don’t let that fool you into believing he’s pitching like a 1 or 2.

He has a .180 BABIP against in May with a 4.64 FIP / 4.90 xFIP. Thats way more in line with his 4.66 ERA in the first month than his 2.01 ERA in May.

Nice to see him getting good results. I’d view it as unsustainable.

Yep. Not many Ks and lots of rockets hit at defenders. He's been more than a bit lucky.

Be happy he's pitching well and hope it lasts until mid season when he can be traded and replaced by McGreevey. And despite stupid hot takes by Blojo Johnson and others, he ain't getting another contract from the Cardinals

But seriously tho, this is one of the best defense teams in mlb.

Is it a big problem he doesn’t K a lot of hitters?

There have been a lot of good posts on this thread. It seems to me that for whatever reason, he has been pitching very well to contact this year. With a good defense behind you, that's an effective plan of attack. Then, when he needs it, he can reach back and go for the strike out. Keep up the good work!
