And/or PM was sending him a message about being a starter vs relief pitcher. Either way, it was difficult to watch. Yes, I know the season is early. Geaux Tigers!

I'm sure he wanted the opportunity to try and get out of it. Had he been taken out earlier people would have bitched about not giving him a chance. Its early. We have plenty of time to find out if he has what it takes. I personally would like him in the pen though

OR.....

Maybe he was on a pretty strict pitch count, being it was game 1 of the season. Barring injury he was probably going to pitch around 70-80 pitches no matter what. Its part of the process of getting starting pitchers arms ready for April/May and June. You know, when this team will be playing meaningful games.


You people make WAYYYYYYYYYY too much out of one game and one start.

You could tell from the first inning his control wasn't there but sometimes it takes a few innings for a pitcher to settle down. He just never did.

Neither.

For all the positives PM may have as a coach, his main Achilles Heel is gauging when a pitcher has it that day or doesn’t. It’s like he lacks a feel for it even after all these years.

Very early... plenty of time to tinker with what will end up working for you when it matters most......
