He's 13th in IP among all pitchers from 2013-2015.

That's because he is the rare pitcher these days who truly seems to have a rubber arm.

 

I like Quintana, I think he's a very good pitcher, I think he can be the #2 on playoff team. He does hold himself back sometimes, especially with the nibbling. But the nibbling is part of his essence so I forgive it.

God damn it Avi.

 

He's such a conundrum. Showed great patience the last PA and got a walk. This time, goes after the first pitch and pops it up...

No one is saying Quintana's a perfect pitcher. But I think you're overstating his faults, blowing too many leads is not one of them. And Quintana is effective because of the nibbling, he doesn't have overpowering stuff. If he didn't nibble he wouldn't be good.

Especially KNOWING he just led off Lawrie with a breaking ball strike. I COME ON THINK. Avi just seems like a low baseball IQ player. He should have been taking all the way there unless it was dead red outside fastball that he can drive.

exactly. Q is the man, appreciate having a top 20 pitcher in MLB as your #2.

Considering that some people thought he was the second coming of Miggy when he was in Detroit, that's what makes it pretty funny.

I'm willing to give Avi some slack because he's still young. If he's still doing this when he's 28, then probably not.

lol, come on, no one actually said he was the second coming of Miguel Cabrera. People said his swing was similar to Cabrera, which is not the same thing.
