He’s really not bad on the whole. But always liable to have games like this especially in a terrible matchup with a HR hitting team and in optimal hitting conditions.
Damn how has Davis Martin been so good? Here are his 8 starts this year:
5 IP, 3 ER
6 IP, 0 ER
7 IP, 2 ER
7 IP, 1 ER
6.1 IP, 1 ER
5.2 IP, 1 ER
7 IP, 0 ER
6 IP, 1 ER
Pitching deep into games and allowing 0 or 1 ER in most of his starts.
Weird time to say that after he hit a 103 MPH line drive with a .640 xBA with a RISP and 2 outs.
He’s also been worth close to 1 win this year despite not putting it together at the plate. Hes always been a streaky hitter so I’m not too concerned.
Meh we'll see how the season plays out. Before last season you would have thought several of the games on their schedule would be harder than expected (MIN, @ MIN, DAL, @ WAS, @ BAL, @ CIN, PIT). Could see something similar this year.
