Total ERA over 5 in 2018.

Over 6 in 2019.

Over 6 again with us in 2020.

His career WHIP is 1.50.

What are we expecting to get here exactly?  Not trying to be a overt pessimist.

Realistically, just hoping to catch lightning in a bottle for a few weeks/couple of months before reality sets in.   He had a nice spring so hopefully that momentum continues for a little while.

Sometimes he looks good one time through the order.  I think a combo of Lopez and LeBlanc for 6 competitive innings would be a win.

Looking under the hood a bit, last year he was very good as a starter facing batters in their first PA (first time through the order). .605 OPS against first time through as a starter, with that number jumping to .966 and 1.048 on the second turn.

Similar pattern for his whole career, but a little less start, at .738/.934/1.032

Found my kernel of optimism for the day.

The current Yankees are 9 for 34 against Lopez with a .533 OPS.   only two XBH.

Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I really appreciate that. I came to this topic to say that Lopez was going to get utterly destroyed tonight. After reading your contribution, I will remove the word “utterly”

I hope we can get 5 to 6 innings tonight out of our starter Jorge-Wade LeBlanc-Lopez.

If we are still in the game at that point, we hand it over to our good relievers.   If we aren't, Ben's nephew gets gets to make his major league debut.

Not a lot of soft spots in that lineup.   Unless Bruce is washed up.   Hate playing the Yankees early, before Stanton and Judge have had a chance to go on the disabled list.

    • This is an emotional reaction and a terrible one at that. Mansilini is not a problem on this team. And the pop fly with Jackson Holliday on 3rd, he should not have been sent home because the Feilder make a heck of a catch and they instantly threw the ball to the 3rd basemen. If Jackson would have tagged, he would have either gotten gotten himself thrown out at the plate, or been caught in a run down. Tell him to tag up would have been foolish.
    • So I guess you won’t be watching, right?
    • Special K is a reference to Ketamine.  You know, you could have said, Can, I did not know it was a drug reference, I can see why you would be opposed to that.  Instead you accuse me of insinuating that you have a drug habit. Do you think that giving a player the same nickname as a very common street name of a drug is a good idea? But your default reaction to any sort of criticism is to attack the person that has the audacity to question you, well that and to harp on how old you are as if that is relevant information.
    • I agree with those moves, but I could also see Elias and Hyde wanting to keep Holliday on the roster for the rest of the season and the playoffs to get some experience since he's going to be a core part of the team for what will hopefully be multiple playoff runs. I'd understand that line of thinking, and would be fine with it. But I do think Holliday should be on the bench the rest of the way in that scenario.  The only move I desperately want to see is Eloy released. He's such a bad player and such an insult to good baseball. I'll be relieved when he's gone. 
    • I reckon it goes like this: Johnson for Urias Jackson for Westy Eloy for Mounty I think the O’s can’t chance the defensive issues from Holliday at this point. I’m still very high on him, but he got a ton of important experience and knows what to work on in the offseason.
    • Even if SEA wins tonight, wouldn't the Orioles clinch tomorrow if they win and SEA loses?
