Much like cueto had a very bad game a couple weeks ago and is still a good pitcher. Also don't forget Ventura has been pretty volatile lately and we're only in the second inning

This isn't even a bad game for him yet, more like a bad luck game.

the only thing that would be more ridiculous is if a slightly above average hitter hit a home run pretty much every time he came to the plate out of nowhere, that would be ridiculous

I calculated it from here. I think where the Royals are getting lucky isn't BABIP per se but just getting all their hits in a row.

Oh I was talking about Syndergaard with the bad luck not actually bad, yeah Ventura's been fine too.

Did they call it a wild pitch? That looked like a 100% passed ball to me.

So it's a good thing that he ran into his first baseman? Or when he couldn't decide on how to field a chop to him? You seem really offended. Confirm or Deny?

I mean, I'm not goalie but he seems to give up a bunch of first downs.

.351 BABIP over 103 AB with RISP in the post season.
