shocker ... he had pretty good game too. Probably would have won more games in Atlanta if their offense was any better

No. He was on the DL all the time. The injuries totally robbed him of his stuff.

His mechanics put undue stress on his arm and it caught up with him with the injuries. Once the braves realized he wasn't going to make any mechanical adjustments they got what get could.

He was def great early on.

Yep. His mechanics effed up his back, too. He probably would've lasted longer if we'd moved him to the pen, but it was always a matter of time unless he made changes.
