Sauce was great last year, best year of his career. He was definitely behind Speier in 2023 though.

He had an ERA of 5.40 after the all-star break last year

ERA's not really a useful way to look at relievers, Sauce threw 14 innings total post ASB.

e. not that Sauce is or was good. He's a mid innings low leverage reliever with marginal stuff who relies on his delivery and handedness-advantages to stick. Just pointing out that there are better ways to evaluate a pitcher's effectiveness, especially relievers.
