this is what the Nationals get for babying the starters in the Minors. Bally was never pushed 6-7 innings consistently in AAA this season. was generally taken out after 5 innings.
He's only thrown 73 pitches. ideally you'd want him to go 7-8 but he has fallen apart.
I understand but they did want him to have MLB innings so they did save some for now. Not a bad outing but I know he wanted to get through 6 innings.
