He isn’t a Andy Petite, Madbum, or an Orel Hershiser. If he can’t locate that slider in the PO, he gets nervous. So he starts to go to the fastball and gets rocked. ...Chris Sale gets into the same type of trouble when his slider isn’t working, but he has an 100 mph fastball to get out of jams.

I would give him a mandatory 6 inning schedule, bring in middle relief for 2-3innings, then go to my closer. I’ve seen the manager wait until he gets into serious trouble to yank him...bases are often juiced, putting pressure on the next picture.

His PO pitching is too weak to push anything past 6or 7 innings...I don’t care how lights he is.
