In 25 career big league innings, he's been good enough against lefties and has dominated righties like Randy Choate dominates lefties.

Plus, he had that wild pitch in Seattle. Awesome "fuck this" moment.

I like him. Mid-90's from that angle is titties.

But "fuck this" moment is different from "oh fuck" moment

Yeah, it's pretty unique.
Joe Maddon mentioned this after he watched him pitch in Tampa saying that mid-90's from that angle is extremely rare/an extremely difficult at-bat for a right-handed hitter.

"Oh fuck" is probably a better description of what happened, yes.
