This is like the game Peavy had against Detroit all over again, perfect first 3 innings then 6 run 4th. f***ing bulls***

 

It's cause the second time through the order, the hitters are no longer fooled by his moving fastball. Since he doesn't have enough velocity to make them swing and miss on it, he's basically just throwing batting practice to them.

Tonight gameday has him at a consistent 92-93 mph which is encouraging, but he couldn't retire s*** after the first 2 guys and got hurt by the long ball.

He's just not good. He's a long reliever who's being put into a starting pitching role. An ERA near 5 just isn't valuable in the AL anymore.
