You can move him to the bullpen for the playoffs. It’s not gonna make a matter if he can’t fix pitching out of the stretch. He will be useless unless he gets 1-2-3 inning. So if he’s a starter or RP he’s doomed to fail if he doesn’t fix that issueI realize it’s emasculating and very complicated from a psychological standpoint (and with getting starts and winning games with the big league rotation), but I think Luzardo could use a AAA reset.He went from being all star ace level to tipping pitches to being a head case in the stretch. It’s to clean it up, but he’s not headed in the right direction.

I get he was good in 2022 and 2023 but the three years prior to that and the years after that he has not been nearly as consistent as those two years. I tend to think he’s just a back end of the rotation type pitcher that has ace level stuff. He has never put it all together on how to be consistently successful. You hoped after 2023 he figured it out but he hasn’t. He relies on his stuff being great and not being a pitcher. He’s also very mentally weak. He falls apart as soon as it doesn’t go his way. It’s why i love Ranger. He usually doesn’t let it completely snowball. He has top of rotation stuff but mentally just not where Sanchez and Ranger have gotten too
