Man Lopez looks good, hoping hes our #5 next year.

Man, I'll go with no thank you on that one. A FIP of 4 isn't bad, but I'm not banking on 55 innings of 4 FIP reylo to maintain over a full season.

Results matter and happy he's doing well, but even tonight he's been more lucky than good.

Lopez has been a significantly above average pitcher this year in ERA, FIP, xFIP, xERA, strikeout rate, etc etc etc. By results, he absolutely deserves a shot in the rotation next year and even in the playoffs if Rodon can't go.

This is easily his best outing since the 5 perfect innings against the Cubs. The Reds have a .195 xBA, so it's not like they're lining everything at people. 

I agree though, Lopez should be a backup plan next year. Not a 5th starter.

It's pretty clear that he's a fundamentally different pitcher now. His mechanics are dramatically different than they were at any point until this season. He's never had a combination of stuff & command this crisp in his career until now.
