Puvetta's best asset is his durability, not his performance. The guy gave an all star worthy oerformance in the first half last year and was so awful afterward that he got dumped from the rotation.
He is what he is, which is a decent/good reliever who can pitchin long or short relief and spot start and give an occasional good performance but when all is said and done hes a below average pitcher who has value because he is durable.

I have to imagine Casas is among the leaders in being called out on pitches out of the zone. He would benefit hugely from a challenge system or automated K-zone.

Pivetta is nearly unhittable - until he is not. He had his best success in relief/had an opener. Part of that might have been that he was pitching shorter stints.

Seems like it happens to him and Turner the most. The guys with the best strike zone judgment get screwed the most precisely because they're the best at laying off close misses.

I have to admit that this game so far is on a par with watching paint dry or grass grow. Prime announcers Kay and Cone? ZZZZZZZZZZZZz
(Probably because last place is at stake in these games)....
Llovera this good or MFY bats this bad?

Annnnd yet another starter turning into a pumpkin after five innings. Serious question: If these starters are only averaging 5.0 innings league-wide, might it be time to just give everyone who isn't averaging more than 6.0 innings per start a 2-inning opener? I'll give Pivetta the mulligan considering his usage. I would too, but this is the average league-wide now for starters. Any less than than and you're talking about what was traditionally long reliever work. It's going to get to a point where four pitchers are used in a game at the tune of 3-3-2-1 or even three at 3-3-3. You could work combinations of these every two or three days depending on pitch count. First team that does that successfully will stop overpaying for starters and only the elite guys who can go 6 or 7 on average will be coveted (and paid the big bucks).

Zero plate discipline, some laughable swing decisions

Definition of sad - MFY Red Sox September game. 5 pages of comments as game one enters the 9th.
