If you are going to try to make some type of point with every Carp hater the list is very very very long. Better get crackalackin.

You were lambasting him throughout 2018 when I told you again and again that his peripherals showed it was just batted ball luck. You continued to lambaste him throughout the year, even though he put up 5 wins and had the second most valuable year of his career. You were wrong and the numbers eventually regressed to the mean.
I have been highly critical of his play this season, because it's clear from his exit velocities and Statcast numbers that he's in an obvious and precipitous decline. I hated his contract extension and immediately went on record as such because I saw it as an unnecessary risk for someone you already controlled through 2020 w/ the option of tagging on a QO to keep for 2021. It's all in this thread, too.
You can be pro-2018 Carp and anti-2019 Carp. In fact, it's the only rational stance to take.
