He's been alternating very nice with quite shaky starts so far this year. In his 3 good starts, he's gone 16 innings, allowing 10 hits, 4 runs, 2 earned, with 3 walks, 25 Ks, and 1 HR. In his two bad starts, he's gone 5.1 IP, 8 H, 11 R, 4 ER, with 3 BB, 2 HBP, 4 Ks, and 1 HR.
He pretty much needs to K people to avoid being hurt by the butchers behind him. Drawing lots of groundballs when he does generate contact (GO/AO 2.00). High BABIP against (.340) backs up the idea he's been damaged by his fielder. FIP likes him, RA9 doesn't. I'll go with FIP. Lots to be pleased about.
