He still absolutely needs a 3rd pitch he can throw effectively and with some regularity, though. It could really help his pitch efficiency as he just throws way too many pitches per inning.

Maybe I am getting older but I refuse to adjust my expectations to 5 inning starts being the acceptable norm. Lol

Yup. it was great to see Greene finally get a good game under his belt. And I hope he can build off this and keep improving. Because I still just don't get the sense, he's a top-notch level starter. Like you say he needs a bigger resume pitch type wise. Relievers can get by for a couple innings with two pitches, starters can't. 

Great games CES, hope he can build off this as well.

And finally, Senzel sucks and I hate it for the guy. He came in with all that fanfare and it's been a train wreck ever since. In June he batted .143 July .130 August .163

Maybe he can go to another team and revive his career, a bit?
