In all but one of his starts, he has been bumped around a little but he hasn't shaken much. In past years, he'd give up huge innings if it didn't go his way early. Maybe he is finally maturing :] I really hope Ervin can develop his changeup or a sinker because his fastball isn't in the 95-97 MPH range anymore. His slider is still dominant as ever, but his fastball is now hittable. To remain a good starting pitcher in this league, he'll need to improve.
