Carlos Carrasco is a very good pitcher. Hell, he's a great pitcher. In 2017 he was 6th among starters in WAR, 12th in ERA, 10th in strikeout rate and walk rate, and hit 200 innigns for the first time. It was great to watch, he was just dominant, and consistently so, all year long. August was a weird month for him though. In the span of 10 days covering three starts, Carrasco had perhaps his worst and his best start of the season. In a season of near-constant excellence, this was Carrasco at his most extreme.
The second half was very good for the Indians righty.
