Ronnie sent this one over, adding…
They rarely link to (Rob) Neyer over @ (other site I have no issue with) but you don’t drink the Kool-aid:
Can we not sugarcoat this thing? Perez’s start last night was just short of a disaster.
Just to sum up: This season, Perez has thrown 36 innings above the Double-A level. In those 36 innings, he has walked 37 batters. I’m all for giving a guy with a solid history a bit of rope, but it always strikes me as odd when a player fails miserably, is exiled to correct a particular flaw, doesn’t correct the flaw … and is un-exiled anyway.
Neyer’s piece is here.
I agree, that was not a good start.
