We all had high hopes for Garrett Richards after last season's display. We all wept when we saw his knee cave in as he ran to first last August and we only hoped he'd be healthy enough to give us a chunk of innings this year. He's certainly done that - 154.0 IP total after last night's start - but it's not the dream we've hoped for and it's turning nightmarish after going 5.0 IP, 7 ER, 10 Hits, 3 BBs, 4 Ks against Toronto. Look, I understand Toronto is THE toughest matchup in the majors these days, but allowing three walks and seven ER in five innings against any team is not what you'd expect from a universal Top 30 pre-season guy. He's only had one start under 3 ER in his last seven starts, and I really want to stick him outside the Top 40 tomorrow. It's not like his K rate (7.07 per 9) is helping us salvage these poor performances.
Let’s see what every other SP did yesterday:
