It is about how long he went. He was on a pitch count that would have let him go 5 innings if effective, 4 if decent. He had a bad inning followed by a good one, then was pulled after the leadoff walk before he could have another bad one. His command was off, and he threw too many pitches because he was generally ineffective. They are playing with fire having this kid start, I see no good coming from it, and the negatives far outweighing the positives.
It's nice having NESN and]/i] YES, all you wind up doing is hitting the "last channel" button. Oh, that plus hit the mute button pretty much whenever Michael Kay is speaking.
