That said, don't expect him to be Shelby Miller. He hasn't missed a ton of bats in AAA, and there's no reason to expect him to do so here. That's why DJ wanted him to stay in Memphis. Until he learns to make a breaking ball an out pitch he may scuffle a bit with big league hitters, as he's not a sinkerballer or a flame thrower. He needs a third pitch, and right now he doesn't have one.
Hopefully the Royals' BABIP luck dries up today.
I'd be content with 6 IP 6H, 1BB, 4K and 2-3 ER.

yeah I read or saw where Mo was talking averaging 5 innings per start the rest of the year.
We don't need him to be a #3 or higher this year. Just learn and get that damn breaking ball to the major league level. Ask that guy in the locker next to you for some tips.
