Bucholz is hurt..
Lmao @ Darvish overrated
On pace for 280+ Ks
Has 5+ Ks in like 29 straight starts which hasn't been done since 1900
Lololol
Maybe because he's close to having a winless month? His ERA for the past few weeks has been 2.93 with a record of 0-2.
Not impressive at all, not to mention even though he has a lot of strikes, his secondary pitches are absolutely weak, and get tore up most of the time.
Yu Darvish is definitely a nice pitcher, no doubt top 15 easily. But does he deserve ALSP? Hell no. Sale or Felix have always been dominant and consistent pitchers. Felix deserves it more imo.

Also, let me point out statistically, its better for your team to have a pitcher with lower ERA than strike outs. He's ranked ninth in lowest ERA which is still impressive, but if you have a couple no decisions like Matt Harvey, who has a legitimate excuse, (Mets offense fucking blows monkey dick,) then you can't use that on Yu Darvish. Its him basically being unable to seal off key games even with a stronger offense, and slightly above average defense on the field.
