Flukiest run I've ever seen. Kid is 10-6 with a 4.70 ERA after this recent stretch. He had to be like 8+ before

Tonight he can't even make it out of the 6th, didn't even get a QS. Only morons look at pitchers wins these days
I'm not a huge Kelly fan but he has talent as he chucks 98 MPH and has a bunch of pitches and has some potential upside. That said yes he was fucking terrible earlier this year and he pitches traditionally terrible 1st half of seasons. He has pitched well though during this stretch with about 13 earned runs in about 45 or so innings. I also agree that it is moronic to judge pitchers on wins.
