Yes this is based on jdlr doing a acceptable job as a started. If he fails, then the brewers are in even more trouble. Why do they desperately need a long man? The crew has 7 guys in the bullpen. Winkelsas, Mabeus, and whoever they bring up to replace eveland can all eat up innings if needed. And why don't you think that about eveland? So he has to struggle in 5 straight starts before we pull the plug? This isn't let the guys figure it out time anymore. This team is trying to be in a pennant race in september. Its not like he's just getting hit. He struggles to find the zone in all of his starts. That's my biggest issue.
