Best pitcher in baseball by all metrics got -3 on his H/9. Sub 1 FIP. Sub 2 xFip.

But Verlander gets a +2 overall with +3 Fip and XFip, striking out fewer batters and walking more ... +2.

K/9 are both at 72......Verlander is at a 7.97 K/9.....Gausman is at 10.89

That makes little to no sense whatsoever

Who are you calling the best pitcher in baseball

Through 45 innings pitched this year....Gausman hands down

Kevin Gausman
12th in ERA
8th in K/9
25th in WAR
15th in WHIP

So what are you basing your best pitcher in baseball argument on? Fandom?

Yo.....

1st in WAR ... 0.8 ahead of 2nd place (Rodon)
12th in ERA at 2.40
(better than Max Scherzer 90 , Gerritt Cole 87, and Walker Buehler 85)
2nd in XFip (Rodon 1st)
1st in Fip (Sub 1, which is unheard of)
1 of 3 SP to not give up a HR yet
1st in BB/9
15th in WHIP ( You clown ... his WHIP is sub 1 and players 4th-21st rank is 0.89-1.02 splitting nut hairs)
2nd in SIERA

If you want me to say not the best with old school metrics then sure hes not been the 'best'...but using advanced stats ...yea......

As I said the best pitcher this season.

Overall statistics are eerily very similar to Corbin Burnes 90...while Gausman is at 85.

I'll give it to him, the walks and no HRs is impressive but he is giving up almost a hit per inning pitched. If he wasn't so insanely dominant with his walk numbers his WHIP would be way over 1. If you look at Kevin Gausman and go "yah that's the best pitcher in baseball right now" then I don't think you understand baseball.

I really banked with the JRam card, got it when it was in the 25k-29k range and it’s been climbing ever since, which isn’t surprising, it’s attributed like a flashback or legend. With that being said when I saw Machado’s real life numbers on MLB.com and noticed he was only 18k on Saturday, I knew it was too good to pass up bc he will almost assuredly get a +2 or +3 upgrade, if not SDS is a proverbial “wolf in sheeps clothing” and know nothing about the sport in which they base their game. I don’t assume he’ll top 75k+ (And climbing) like JRam (switch hitter, perfectly balanced, position eligibility) but fully expect him to be on par with Aranado in short time.

Completely agree. Think we’re looking at about 50k. Wouldn’t buy him now, I’d say it’s too late. I’ll take about 900k from the 300k I put on him tho. That’ll finish my live series with nms. I also did very well with Jram. That one was too easy

Nice man! I wish I were closer to completing LS collection. Yeah I was surprised to see how few people took advantage of the JRam card when it was in the 20k’s, it’s like the fan base doesn’t watch baseball
