They've been limiting his pitch counts like they have for all of the starters. It seems they don't want guys without a lot of innings under their belts to throw more than x amount of pitches. He's not an Ace, but he's a hell of a lot better than a 5 and-dive guy. He's a sold 2-3 and very valuable to this team. If not for a missed strike he's 7 innings 0 runs.

I hate to use silly things like facts, but before today's game Bradish was averaging around 5 1/3 innings per start (excluding his first start in TX that was cut short by the ankle injury).

A pitcher averaging 5 and 1/3 innings per start is the exact definition of a "5 and dive" pitcher. 

You seem to love Bradish which is cool. But let's not go overboard calling him a #2 pitcher.

Give me some pitchers you think are number 2's and I'll show you guys who aren't averaging 6IP+ per game. Very few do that. We don't have a single pitcher in our rotation who does that. I said he's a 2-3 and I stand by that. This is a 26-year-old with 182 IP in his career, label him a 5 and dive going forward but like a lot of your stuff, it would be shortsighted.
