He does?

DDLR actually looked like shit tonight and his fastball topped out at 90 MPH.

He may have needed more time in the minors.

Posted before he got in the game, and yes that is very concerning to see him hitting 88 on average, which begs the questions, why was he activated in the first place? Pretty concerning as we were counting on him as our 7th inning guy.
