"Bannister, who threw a season-high 119 pitches in his previous start at Seattle, left with one out in the second inning because of right shoulder fatigue." (emphasis mine)

Bannister sacrifices himself to the quest to not lose 100 games.

the only stat DM will pay attention to

7.58 ERA since the pitch f/x interview. Therefore, Banny poisoned this team with stats and that’s why the pitchers are lousy. Clubhouse cancer.

SHUT HIM DOWN

For chrissakes, let’s hope they are smart and shut him down for the season. Let Chen or DiNardo or even Duckworth come up and take his spot.

This is NOTHING to be careless about – shoulder soreness could easily lead to a major injury. I’m concerned, because judging by the newspaper today, it didn’t even sound like they were going to pop for an MRI. Insanity rules. Trust the Process.

Mr Glass, this is a pro sports team, not a retail store - run it like one!
