You guys are idiots.
The guy had hip surgery 3 months ago. He hasn't had a single day off since he came back. The only thing that matters is production, as in homers. He's been hitting them. His stroke is off, but it's much easier to make up batting average than homeruns. A two or three 3-hit games, and his batting average is right back. Look at Tex.
It's the right thing...give him a few days off, let his body recover, and you'll see him go on a tear soon.
Not many people can come back from surgery in 6 weeks and not miss a game since he starts playing. He's scuffling, that much is true. That's it. He's in-between right now, late on the FB and too quick on the BB. His pitch recognition is off.
It's like you guys expecting Smoltz to come back and be a dominant pitcher right off the bat. He may, but realistically, he's scuffle a bit before he finds his form.
