Does anyone else think this guy is an asshole? He's no stranger to calling out teammates. After his last start he criticized everyone else for being flat, then he goes out yesterday and plays a big part in nearly blowing a 10-0 lead against the Marlins.

He gets the benefit of the doubt for all the bad defense he had to endure last year, but he really rubs me the wrong way.

Oh, he is definitely a horse's ass.

I don't know if he's an asshole ... and I get the "keep it in house" concept ... but how does pitching great for five innings and having a bad 6th preclude him from criticizing the team for what was a pretty obvious lackluster performance in NY.

It's definitely bad timing.

The guy has had like 4 solid games since arriving in Philadelphia. He needs to keep his mouth shut.

In fairness to the asshole, he had an excellent first half in 2018 before pitching through an injury in the second half. He also had been very good this season until the 6th inning yesterday. He is still a fine #2/#3 on a contending ballclub.
