It’s become an all too frequent topic among fans these days. After his start last Sunday, Nick Pivetta has the following line:
17 GS, 92 1⁄3 IP, 4.09 ERA (4.09 FIP), 1.3 HR/9, 10.8 BB%, 28.0 K%, .220/.309/.408 against him, 1.3 bWAR
It’s a solid season no doubt. Pivetta has been one of the bigger surprises on a Red Sox team that wasn’t picked by many to be in the playoff conversation this year, yet currently sits atop the American League East.
