Neverauskas has been scored upon in 4 of 6 outings. And that's when he's only in a game for 1 inning or less. His ERA of 11.57 and WHIP of 2.143 are very reflective of his performance thus far. Smoker hadn't yielded an ER until last night but he was letting inherited runners score. He's allowed base runners in 4 of his 5 games with totals of 9 hits and 2 walks in 4 innings and an ERA of 9.00, WHIP of 2.750. Neither belongs in MLB and they are dragging the team down.


I don't necessarily disagree, but what do you think of Neverauskas performance from last year?  He was pretty solid.
SSS last year. Only 25 innings. That was fewer than Johnny Barbato and Jhan Marinez who I had totally forgotten about. Most of his innings were after the September callup.

The question was what did I think of his performance last year.

Yeah yeah. This season is SSS too though (even eSSer) so I don't know to give up on him just yet. Still, no arguing that we need fixin in the bullpen
