I think today he just officially turned the corner. After seeing glimpses of dominance last 2 years but never getting anything consistent (would throw great one start then get knocked out in the 3rd the next).
He is harnessing his emotions when he does not get the call which has been a huge problem in the past and lead to big innings.
Against Washington 5 days ago 7 IP 2 ER on 4 hits
Today against Philly 7 IP 1 ER 4 hits and 9 K's. Only run they scored came on 3 straight bloop hits. He then got a DP to get out of the jam. Was throwing his fastball, change, curve and slider in all counts.
He has top 5 arm talent, among starters, in the game and it is coming together. He closed last year very well and it has translated this year. Big development for the future of the Braves.
