The toggle I would have used is the bullpen. Fourth inning or not, legitimate starter or not, this guy's having a bad day.
What's his Control rating like? I faced a pitcher last night with a Control rating of 38/100. I ordered my lineup to take a lot of pitches, and they ran him into high counts, drew five walks in three or four innings, including two with the bases loaded. That's the most I've seen, although I don't have nearly the experience of many on these boards.
Pitchers in this game have good and bad days. I've had to yank a starter in the second inning because he couldn't find the plate, and when he did the pitch was fat. The guy was no future Hall of Famer, but he's a solid major league professional.
