I know the ins and outs of pitching, I did it for 15 years. Everyone was sucking his dick about he was the next god of pitching and I voiced my opinion that he has a lot to prove before anyone can make that statement. He was 5-3 with a 3 ERA while not bad, it isnt god status either. He also had a .221 opponent batting average which is what I figured would happen, MLB is much better than college players.
