I haven't seen anyone mention pitching coach Rick Kranitz so far this year and wanted to put a side-by-side illustration out there of 2018 pitching vs. 2019 pitching.
Folty 2018: 13-10, 183 IP, 130 H, 202 K, 68 BB, 2.85 ERA, 1.082 WHIP
Folty 2019: 2-5, 59.1 IP, 64 H, 50 K, 20 BB, 6.12 ERA, 1.416 WHIP
Gausman 2018: 5-3, 59.2 IP, 50 H, 44 K, 18 BB, 2.87 ERA, 1.140 WHIP
Gausman 2019: 2-5, 62.1 IP, 70 H, 64 K, 24 BB, 6.21 ERA, 1.508 WHIP
Biddle/Winkler/Carle/Minter/Carle/Sobotka 2018: All good to very good.
Biddle/Winkler/Carle/Minter/Carle/Sobotka 2019: Winkler's 4.98 and Biddle's 5.40 ERAs are the BEST of this group this year.
That relief bunch in '18 had ERAs of 3.11, 3.43, 3.23, 2.86, 1.88 respectively.
Newcomb went from 3.90 ERA in '18 as a starter to banished to the minors after 3 starts this year.
And people are bashing Snitker????
