I have been highly critical of his play this season, because it's clear from his exit velocities and Statcast numbers that he's in an obvious and precipitous decline. I hated his contract extension and immediately went on record as such because I saw it as an unnecessary risk for someone you already controlled through 2020 w/ the option of tagging on a QO to keep for 2021. It's all in this thread, too.
You can be pro-2018 Carp and anti-2019 Carp. In fact, it's the only rational stance to take.

His 2019 season was a bust. Yes he had an INSANELY hot 2-3 month streak but he then folded in September again. And we missed the playoffs by a handful of games.
I don't care what his saber metrics were overall for the season, if your numbers are smashed in the middle of 2 black holes its not a good year, period.
He helped dig the hole they were in, he helped pull them out of the hole, he then put them back in the hole. Not a good season. Period. And thats not irrational.
As I have said his whole career he is a head case.
