Nobody really likes the guy who picks fights with the other team and puts everyone else in harm's way, but it's especially bad when the performance doesn’t back up the trash talk. Ventura's 5.36 ERA by mid-May was viewed more harshly after multiple brouhahas with the opposition earned him a reputation as a hot head. He was getting back on track before an ulnar nerve injury sidelined him for three weeks. He fell back to bad version upon returning and was eventually demoted to Triple-A. An injury made the demotion little more than a formality (he was back before ever pitching there), but threat alone might've worked. His season has an even before/after demotion split: 5.19 ERA, 1.35 WHIP, and 7.7 K/9 in 14 starts before; 3.10 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and 9.4 K/9 in 14 starts after. The ERA misleads, this was a small step forward. His curve in the Kershaw-Kluber range and he pairs it with the best velo in baseball giving him a real shot at a 200-K season.
