Gotta hand it to Ace. He looked way off at the beginning of the year, we speculated he was hurt, and he didn't really pitch much thereafter. Then, he gets inserted basically as an innings burner against Tech and pitches insanely well. Repeat that type of performance a couple times, and now he's the Saturday guy. The movement on his pitches and his command has been great, overall. Just needs to keep the ball down.

He is playing through something that is hurting his velo. No idea on the specifics but it is apparently something that can be fixed in the offseason.

I’d rather let him put the ball in play instead of walking everybody like the rest of the starters and bullpen.

You say that now but they are not just putting the ball in play, they are putting the ball in play with authority.

Pitching to contact doesn’t work so well when the contact is in the gaps.

If it was all in the gaps they’d be up 10 runs. You give up an occassional gapper to get the rest. Or we could walk everybody and hit a gapper as well.
