There's a shitload of of inaccuracies in it. The big game pitcher stuff especially. 3 of his 5 playoff starts are when he was a 22-year-old in 2003. The last 2 years he's given up 4 earned runs in 12.1 IP, for a 2.98 ERA. He was our only pitcher to really step up both years.
He's won at least 13 games and had an ERA under 4 ever year for the last 6 years.
After this year, it will be his 8th straight year with an ERA under 4.
He's made at least 30 starts 6 straight years.
He has the 11th best win-loss % of active mlb pitchers and is 81st all-time.
He's been probably the most consistent pitcher in the NL as a full-time starter. He's probably never going to enter the premium ace level, but come on, the guy is as reliable as it gets.
Who cares about his act? I'm not going to be friends with any of these players. He wins games.
