Digging a little deeper, it seems odd considering that he is throwing his sinker 13% more than he was using it at the end of last season (9/2015: 10.8%, 5/2016: 23.9%). Doesn't really make sense to me. Or are these figures not drastic enough to be weary of?

On top of that, with the increased flyball rate, his HR/FB rate is way down from last year and his career norms and his xFIP doesn't like it (3.49 compared to an ERA of 1.54 and FIP of 2.19).
Quintana's HR/FB rate in 2015 was 8.6% and so far in 2016 it is a quite-minute 1.9%

Seems pretty odd considering the increase in flyballs, right? Or should we let sample size increase before making any judgments?
So what your saying is we're going to carve his ass up ! Right ?
