More of the same from Muller: 3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 5 K.

Updated on the year: 17.2 IP, 11 H, 2 ER, 9 BB, 24 K.

Muller, Anderson and Wilson have all been really impressive. I wonder if they'll be joining Wentz in Danville soon.

They've been lights out.
 
I've said it before: It's in his head.

Not based on the numbers he has produced the past three seasons. I'm sure there is a small amount that is due to confidence, but it's really mainly due to a lack of quality secondary stuff. He's not getting K's and doesn't really have a quality third pitch. It's not like his walkrate needs work and it's a straight up control issue, he's just getting rocked because he doesn't miss bats.

And it's not like this is something new. He had a 5.01 ERA in AAA in 2014, 4.29 ERA in AAA in 2015, 4.71 ERA in the majors in 2015, and currently has a 5.16 ERA in the majors in 2016. He's been very consistent the past few years, unfortunately he's been consistently bad. And unless something major happens with his secondary pitches he's likely to stay that way.
 
Aaron Blair has produced encouraging results during each of his past four starts for Triple-A Gwinnett and now seems to be the best candidate to start Saturday's game against the Cardinals. Blair's fastball has sat between 93-95 mph during his past few starts and he has minimized his walks.

These young pitchers are going to determine how long the rebuild takes. Really need Blair, Wisler, Folty and Gant to get through these growing pains.
