Lets see Matty Ford throw some strikes and work into the 5th or 6th.

Well, I was working, but where was everyone else?

 

Ford seems to have applied the Peter Principle to his pitching. At this stage, he certainly appears overmatched as a starter, even if it's just a mental thing.

 

As of today, Obermuller looks to be a better option than Matt.

I missed the game,but saw the highlights.

 

My impression of Ford is he doesnt throw very hard and relies completely on command.When he misses even by a little bit righthanded hitters crush him,87mph fastballs over the plate make big league hitters very happy.

 

If he continues to struggle i'd put him back in the pen,can't forget how young he is.
