[QUOTE="the juiceman cometh, post: 1753646, member: 747321"] I agree it's too early to judge the guy on one start. I think he'll be a lot better than today indicated. But I am worried about how many innings we'll get out of starters in general, and my concern with Matz from day one was that his career high in innings pitched was 160. Last season we couldn't get any starting pitcher innings so 160 would've been welcome, but typically that's the kind of number you want to see out of your back end guys only. We had 4 pitchers pitch over 170 innings in 2019, for sake of comparison. So while I'm not judging what Matz will give us on today, it didn't inspire confidence that he could turn into the kind of workhorse pitcher we need, and that he's never been. [/QUOTE]
