Two things are true about Tyler Thornburg. He pitched two innings against the Astros and held them scoreless. He also has 41.2 innings pitched for the Red Sox since acquiring him for Travis Shaw (and others*) after the 2016 season. In those 41.2 innings, he has a 6.26 ERA, poor peripheral numbers, and has seen his velocity decline greatly since undergoing Thoracic Outlet Surgery.
*Ed. Note: I feel personally attacked by Mauricio Dubon being referred to as “and others”
He’s looked hittable in that time as well, and has had all of his pitches absolutely clobbered.
