And that's your problem. You are so focused on that alone that you're not looking at the entire picture. His ERA is almost 4 points lower than Castillo. That's not "a little better" it's a whole lot better. In his 7 starts, he's allowed 4 or more runs in only 2 of those. Reds are 3-4 in those 7 games with Gray officially being 0-3. If the offense shows up even a little bit those 3 losses are likely not on his record if not actually wins even the 8-0 game against the Dodgers. That game was 2-0 most of the game until Romano gave up 6 runs in the 8th. If that game is tied or Reds lead there is no way Romano steps foot in that game. The Brewers game yesterday is really his only start where the Reds scored a couple runs before his departure. In fact if Blandino doesn't botch what should have been an inning ending out which instead allows 2 runs to score, that could easily have been a win for Gray. Look at the big picture. It really helps a lot.
