With 97 Patience he's unlikely to get a penalty. Players with higher than 65 (I believe that's the cutoff but could be off by a few points) rarely take a hit, but I don't know whether there's a sliding scale that makes 97 far less likely. I also don't see why he'd necessarily suck. His high ERA this season is probably just small sample size distorted by 1 or 2 HRs more than he'd allow long-term.
