The guy has absolute zero feel for the game. All he knows is what the numbers and percentages tell him in match ups. I hate watching him make obvious mistakes and burn through his roster almost every game. That's how you get Wade Miley pinch hitting in the 11th inning, not the 14th or 15th inning. The 11th inning. Jim Riggleman would have done much better with this roster. He's vanilla and predictable but he was the best manager the Reds have had since Jack McKeon.
I'm getting sick of watching Heath Hembree going through his strange back stretching exercise routine in between pitches, most of which wind up out of the strike zone. It always seems like he takes a half hour to deliver 20 pitches. And Garrett is passed the point of "he has a lot of potential to be really good". Send his ass down and let him focus on throwing strikes for another year or just drop him.
Garrett's ERA
2017 - 7.39 . . . WHIP of 1.61 - 14 starts, career high 70.2 innings . . . 23 HRs given up, about 1 homer every 3 innings
2018 - 4.29 . . . WHIP of 1.29 - HR every 8 innings - 63 innings
2019 - 3.21 . . . WHIP of 1.41 - HR every 8 innings - 56 innings
2020 - 2.45 . . . WHIP of 0.93 - HR every 4 or 5 innings - 18.1 innings in a slightly over 1/3 season sample size
2021 - 6.42 . . . WHIP of 1.69 - HR every 4 innings - 33.2 innings (in 47 games!) . . . I think that's part of why he walks so many people. He's been in the league long enough to know that his stuff is easy to hit.
Average MLB ERA from 2017-2020 is 4.35 and the 2017-2020 average WHIP is 1.32.
His career ERA is 5.10(almost 20% above league average) with a career WHIP of 1.44(almost 10% above league average).
A left handed Sal Romano. The old Bull Durham line . . . "A million dollar arm with a 5 cent head". Time to move on.
