Buehrle needs to be DL'ed.

 

He either has a dead arm or there's really something physically wrong that sending him out there over and over again isn't going to help.

 

Give Hudson or Torres a shot. He's too important to this franchise to let him suffer like this when he's obviously not right.

Caul, couldn´t the same be said for Gavin and Peavy??

Buehrle with an ERA now of 5.21, Lord knows what it is since OD.

 

Obviously if he's hovering around 84-86 MPH FB, he's a full 3-5 MPH behind what he used to throw.

 

Javy Vazquez is likely to end today with a lower ERA than Buehrle.

I think these are more command/control/location/pitch selection issues.

 

They've both flashed very dominant fastballs and offspeed stuff from time to time this season, just not on anything close to a consistent or sustained basis.

He has to have more than 5 to 7 mph separation between the change and fastball in order to be successful. Mark either has to find his fastball, or slow down his change. with that little difference hitters can sit in the middle and still catch up to both.

Bah, I disagree. They've been beaten up so regularly that the flashes of their "dominant fastballs and offspeed stuff" may as well be written off as accidents.
