He's having one of his best seasons ever.

Shouldn't be a surprise. He's good. Always has been.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->

I want to believe that this is how Z would be pitching in September if we were in contention and whether or not he'd ever been suspended and put through anger management training. I just can't know. The pressure is off the season and he has something personal to prove. I love that he's pitching well but can it be taken at face value?

He's 24-12 with a 3.39 ERA in his career in September and October, and as Tom alluded to, he's been very good in his last few playoff starts. He even threw that no-hitter in September two years ago before we went to the playoffs.
