I had hopes that moving to the bullpen would ramp up his velocity to about 94, and make him more effective. But last night was not good.

1.0 ip, 4 h, 3 r, 3 er, 1 bb, 1 k. Not good.
*I will say, however, that Pomeranz almost got out of it with nothing allowed. With two outs and the count 2-2 on Ramos, after Ramos had fouled one off, Pomeranz dropped in a curve that was actually a strike but was called a ball. Borderline pitch, but it did catch the corner. On the very next pitch Ramos doubled, scoring two. So the ump gets that call right, Pomeranz gets out of it and his line becomes: 1.0 ip, 1 h, 0 r, 0 er, 1 bb, 2 k. Significantly better.
