Some of his worst moments were them putting him in bad positions - bringing him out of the bullpen, pitching him on 3 days rest, or leaving him in way too long like when the Cardinals eventually got him in that 2013 game. Some guys are built for that stuff...he isn’t. So cut the bullshit like he’s some magic pill, trust your team, and pitch him on 4 days rest like you do all season long, and he’ll be fine.

And that’s not to say that he hasn’t come up short. Overall he has, and has to own that. But acting like this was the first great game he ever pitched in the playoffs is pure BS. He’s had some dominant performances every time we’ve played the Braves, he owned the Cubs in the NLCS a few years ago, was dominant against the Astros in game 1 of the world series(7 innings, 1 run, 11 Ks), etc.
