Both today & the 2024 season in general
During the first inning today, Freddy once again had a high pitch count including a lead off homer, hit by Bellinger, & a walk … vs the rest of the game completely dominant
His season overall has been up & down … I never know what to expect from game to game - high pitch, mediocre Freddy or lights out Freddy
Rea is not nearly as talented as Freddy but is far more consistent from game to game - almost always competitive & often produces a quality start
You don’t have to agree with me - I’m fine if you are happy with him each game - I have high expectations for him that often go unmet
As I’ve posted earlier … towards the end of the IGT … he certainly turned things around after a shaky first inning
I’m thrilled he did so & loved spanking the Cubs & winning the series
I will likely be nervous again next time he pitches in LA later this week based on his inconsistency thus far in 2024 … who knows what to expect
Burnes & Woody seemed to be far more consistent the last few years … Freddy was great today but has been up & down most of the year
