Stop me if you’ve heard this before. Actually, don’t, because you’ve heard it a bunch of times this year, but Brady Singer pitched very well again today. His ERA as a starter this year is now at 2.93. At what point do we stop saying it’s a small sample size? At what point do we stop adding caveats so that we can insist he isn’t an ace? Six shutout innings with five strikeouts and only one walk and five hits. That will play every day of the week.
He only had one inning that saw him in any kind of danger; in the third he loaded the bases with no outs but induced a popup, a strikeout and another pop out to escape the jam entirely unscathed.
