Still, there are some excellent signs from Liriano’s first three starts, which continued in last night’s start. Chief among them is his 51.8% ground ball rate. The home run plagued the left hander last season, as he allowed 21 in only 136.2 innings. His 12.5% HR/FB rate doesn’t suggest any sort of terrible luck.

Even where he has been, he’s still ace material. That’s something we haven’t seen out of any of the other starters for much more than a game or two per season, let alone 3 or 4 games in a row.
