We should all be happy to have the game within reach after 5 innings. Hopefully, he makes mechanical adjustments after his last outing.
The expectations should be low for Jason. But, it is only his first start of the year too. This rotation didn't get the extended preparation, so they all may need a couple of rough outings to start. Even if Jay gets a quality start, he should not be declared our best pitcher. It's just way too early.
