Bieber said, “I expect myself to go deep no matter what the situation is.” “I found myself in a good position to do that (against the Diamondbacks) and try to get a little bit more and get something for it. So, it’s going to happen, and through a long, healthy career, you Some are going to be disappointing, and it’s certainly there.”
Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said Bieber was one of the toughest pitchers among the major players.
“When you’re going up against a pitcher of Bieber’s caliber, and with the quality stuff he has, you’re just trying to figure out how you’re going to go about it and finish your day, and hopefully That he won’t do that is the best stuff he has,” Lovullo said.
Bieber made a career-best start against Milwaukee when he went unearned in five innings while striking out 10 during a 4–1 victory on September 6, 2020 in Cleveland.
