In the short period of time where Ricky had a few dependable relievers he also used it fine this season. His problem is that he has had some historically bad pens for periods of time.
But of course you will ignore all of the skipped starts and extra days off, as well as trying to get him to pitch to contact more to keep his pitch count down.
Not to mention despite Narvaez starting to hit, he still is hurting his pitching staff behind the dish. Having a veteran catcher around is important more for the young pitching staff than anything else.
