Good morning.

Team is 4-3 in his starts. At Boston, Mets, Reds Atlanta KC Baltimore.

Averages 5 innings per start. 7 hits is the most in seven games. 4.23 Era

Either walks 4 ish or walks none. Whip 1.37. Too many walks.

Road Warriors. Has kept team over .500 on the road. That’s plenty good for a number four.

Anyone remember the Road Warriors wrestling team? Or better yet, Mad Max in The Road Warrior. Max Rockatasky.

Rockatasky, meet Rocksteady.
Mostly keeps his team in games. Last night the defense behind him was shaky, but RS has enough mental toughness to not let it slip away.

I thought the same thing earlier- keeps team in game. Four runs over six innings. On the road. That’s credible.

Yeah, there's quality starts, then credible starts on the road. The agents should jump on this new stat for SP's, lol.

You make a valid point- put more weight on a road start.

I liked the emotion he showed after giving up the 3 run homer. Shows he sets high standards for himself.

I also noticed him and Oli brushed shoulders as they handed off the ball. I thought that meant he really wanted to finish the inning.
