    Thompson gave up 5 hits and 4 walks in 4 innings. Hardly seems possible. I have previously mentioned that something is obviously wrong, but there was pushback, so we’ll pretend like he’s fine.

    It is getting closer to the time to put Loutos into the pen reinforcements conversation. When you say came out of nowhere, it is literally true in his case. He’d need a 40 man spot of course.

    A big problem for Thompson continues to be walks – 18 in 13 2/3 innings. Add to that three home runs served up and a lot of runs are on the board.

    Agreed. A BB/9 of 11.9 over 5 starts is sort of comical. But more broadly, way too much traffic. H/9 of 11.2 is way high, contributing to the WHIP of 2.561. 5 GS is not an inconsequential sample size. The IP is low, at least partially due to getting knocked out early all the time. His pitch count ramped up into the 70s pretty quick but has stayed there, seemingly because he can’t stay in the game. The contrast with last season is stark.
