It's been the same with him. Take fastball down middle, foul off next fastball and strike out on the down and away breaking ball. Pretty much this whole series, dude can't square up a fastball.
He's already been dropped from 5th to 6th to 7th. It's not a function of where he is in the lineup. He's just a trainwreck right now, and he's crushing our chances of stringing together rallies. If he's not capable of laying off that outside slider, then his ass needs to be benched.
