Quarterly Report: Pitching, management

CD’s grades for the offense and defense can be found here.

The pitching has been erratic, but seems to be rounding into form, so much so that, had Freddie not gotten hurt we’d probably no more than two to three games behind the Nats. Pretty remarkable for a team that has used 28 relievers — 8 more than the Braves used in 2014.

PITCHING

Shelby Miller, A. He ranks just below the Kershaws, Greinkes and Scherzers, not bad for a 24 year old. He hasn’t won in 10 starts but a rising strikeout rate indicates his stuff is improving.
