7 games in, the team is 4-3. Just split wins with a darn good team. Every game has a winner and a loser and Smith wasn’t bad by any measure other than single game sv% which is pretty much meaningless
Patience.

This was Smith's 3rd best game SV percentage wise all season.
St Louis was worse (.792 SV percentage)
Home opener win was worse (.800 SV percentage)
Opening night was worse (.818 SV percentage)
His .867 SV percentage is around his average. I think Smith does have the ability to throw up a. 904 SV percentage by the end of the year, which should put him in the top 20-25 starters in the league, which is around where he is at at this stage in his career.
But I do agree that with patience he will improve that SV percentage from .885 (although thank god he did get 20 perimeter shots that anyone could save in the shutout victory, that really helped his overall SV percentage)
