Uhhh....what?
But yes Stroman is more than capable. He's also a groundball pitcher and he's pitched into some bad luck. His expected era when factoring out defense is about 1.5 runs lower than his actual era. His walk % is up a bit, but there's not a dramatic change to his homerun rate/homerun per fly ball rate, strikeout rate or line drive rate.
So the walks are coming back on him a bit but overall I think it's just bad luck for a guy who gets a lot of and pitches to ground balls.
