gotta wonder if they've seen enough of him in the rotation since it

seems like he was on quite a short leash tonight. Granted he did throw a lot of pitches and walked several, but only 2 runs so far….my guess is he gets released

Seems very early

And I don’t know why they’d trust the bullpen to go 7 at this point. I know he’s bad, but still
