I dunno - his K/9 is still decent, as well as K/BB, and even last night he struck out 6 against no walks. He's still capable of missing bats but when he doesn't...?
He sure was killed by HRs last night. And look at his HR/FB% - it was single digits the first couple months and is 24% in July. That's horrifying.

yep. I think it was like 4.8% thru June 5. 21.4% since then.

His K/9 is still good- but it's not what it was earlier in the season.

It doesn't have to be, nor should we expect that he would keep that up. He just needs to be serviceable. 5 to 6 IP and 2-3 ER. Can't give up 5 via jacks in less than 5; not very often anyway. If this is what fatigue looks like they need to get the kid some rest.
