Batters have his number. His ERA is now 7.71, opposing batters have a .344 BA against him ! I saw a stat during game yesterday that opponents were batting like .450 against him in 1st inning.
At some point, soon, they have to do something. Put him in the bullpen ?
Need to send him down for a start or two and let him build his confidence back up.
It worked out well for Roy Halladay who had a similar spot of just getting rocked after he'd appeared in 57 games with the Blue Jays. They sent him to single A ball and he came back with a new focus and a hall of fame career.
