Love Lance, but ultimately, I think he belongs in the pen. He has the profile of a great reliever: high velo fastball and a great breaking ball (curve).
Lance is so overrated. I remember 2 good outings. One against the Yanks in the playoffs where he throws like 29 curve balls in a row and can't be hit. The other is where he pitched a CG with only 88 pitches. All other outings, he is at 88 pitches after 4 innings. His command sucks.
Not changing today. Inning continues, but further runs (if any) are not his. Marte (leadoff) scored twice, 2-7 scored once each, 8 and 9 did not.
Shut him down? I still think he needs to get work in. **** this season? **** yes. Let the kids pitch? They have been. Well.
Or are the Diamondbacks using buzzers? I mean, if you make a completely unfounded claim, they'll believe you, right?
Or he's recovering from Tommy John Surgery after a truncated Spring Training and then and abbreviated ST#2 with a rush to start games because of money. Or what you said.
