    He is getting pretty unlucky, .284 babip (career .316). Hard contact is actually up from last year... just hitting ball on ground more.

    Its a no brainer move.

    Wont be crazy expensive and then if the rumors of him wanting to play in ATL are true it makes an extension more likely because we can start discussions soon.

    The further removed from his flukish injuries he gets the better his production will be. Dudes a stud.

    He listed all contendors so he can dictate which one he wants to go to.

    Please don't even speculate on a Bumgarner extension. I don't even want that bad Juju in the air.

    If we don't extent him, there's pretty much no chance he'll wear a Braves hat on his plaque

    Braves currently have 3 starters with a better ERA- than Madbum and just signed a 4th. Why do we need him again?

    Hard not to harp on it when things are said like Gausman is as good as bumgarner.

    Not sure i ever rember you using ERA in a ln argument.

    Either way, bumgarner is better than everyone aside from soroka.

    If that's true then why hasn't he showed it on the field?

    For real, only soroka is better in FIP... fried is pretty much equal.

    I like you thethe, but are you trolling or completely serious? I just don't understand the love affair with the dude.

    Would I take it at fair price? Of course, but we, and any other team, would get bent over for the guy. He's not worth it, not even with Will Smith attached.

    Ignorant people can't quite understand just how much the park in SF suppresses offense and makes Bumgarner's overall numbers look better than his true talent level.

    Bumgarner's xwOBA is .332. The only member of the Braves rotation with a higher value is Folty at .343, and everyone hopes he is figuring things out.

    Ive given my thoughts as to why his future performance will be better than his recent past.

    And re: FIP, Gausman is pretty much equal to Bumgarner. They are all essentially the same guy. Julio has also been a sub 4 FIP pitcher in his last 9 starts. Madbum is not an upgrade.

    When does that future performance start? Because it hasn't been this season so far.
