He's not necessarily an Indians eater, but he is a strike thrower.

He has wipeout stuff.

two consecutive years of 200 plus strikeouts.

Once I got over the shock, because I really just thought it'd be Atlanta, I was like, you know what, I think this makes sense for both sides.

And I think it's a really good trade for what both teams are trying to accomplish.

In a best of five, absolutely.

Obviously, the Red Sox have Garrett Crochet, so they're not going to expect him to start a playoff game.

I...

If he can find his form that was similar to 2024, rather 2025, I'm more inclined to believe that.

You look at his stats in 25, off the top of my head, I think he had right around 180 innings pitched, made all 32 starts, so that's great.

But his ERA was almost a full run ahead of his average, and that's because he had genuinely four to five just horrific outings.

I mean, he was lasting two innings.

He was getting lit up six, seven, eight runs in an outing, and that's just something that was uncharacteristic.

I think that there's some tweaking to be done to that arsenal.

Do I want to start him in a playoff series?

Yeah, yeah, I'd take it.

But it's really hard.

Funny grain, a best of five will get it done for you.

That's how I'd put it.

I'm trying to remember.
