He just went 7 today with 5 hits. A stolen base and WP were the only reason he took the loss to the guy who threw a perfect game.

Obviously Helickson would be the guy to move to the pen, but are they watching Moore’s innings at all or did he surpass that threshold last season?

Matt Moore has been the best pitcher in baseball since late June.
