They changed his delivery to help hide the ball. Velo may or may not tick back up as he adjusts to it. But, I'm not worried about the velo. I think Money looks fine - he's obviously not going to be an ace but he can provide some valuable bullpen outs/innings and I wouldn't be completely spooked if he had to make an emergency start in late portion of post season play when things get wacky.

I thought his night should have ended after going through the order once, but I understand keeping him in and pushing his pitch count up, making him work through things, etc.

I missed Collins pitching, did he look better or is he still way off?

They've already said Herring's role will increase. I think Dutton could help on the weekends too. Even if he's just the get-hot-quick guy to finish an inning and let someone else come in fresh.

It’s going to be batting practice against good teams. He’s already given up 4 XBH in 9.2IP ( 2 HR, 2B, 3B).

His ERA is at 5.31 over the last two seasons. How does he look fine

I’m not worried because I don’t think he’s going to pitch in any type of high leverage situation unless they really really really get behind the 8 ball

Money's fastball is just so hittable. There's no run or movement whatsoever. It doesn't miss a lot of barrels. I do think he can give us 2+ out of the pen and get through the order once. That's his ceiling IMO.
