The the 3 bad starts, 14.2 innings, 16 earned. That is an ERA of 9.82 for those three starts. It doesn't matter what the run support is, but if you like, you can handle that part. (I don't know how to - would it be 8 runs last night for the game? Or just while he was in the game? His performance is independent of run support, regardless). We are talking his performance. Those 3 are bad in any book, I would think. Combined of all starts this year, he is at 4.00 ERA. Pretty much where his career ERA stands (3.94). You are your record, not an opinion, eh? He is a valuable member of the staff, but color me not that enamored, and not thinking he is the best we have. Good luck to us in the future.
Lopez has 3 bad and 2 good starts since he signed his extension. Maybe even more luck for the future.
