Now 6, he didn't even go 4 so no he isn't really eating up innings 
OK tonight he got knocked out in the 4th, but check his starts with the Nationals and see if he goes deeper into games then the younger guys. If you base your opinions on single games any player/pitcher would have a bad game and be cut the next day. This is the first time for the Nats Livan hasn't gone at least 5 innings. All I'm saying is having Livan throw the pitches at this stage makes a lot more sense then having a younger pitcher getting creamed by the Dodgers.
