Maybe it's time to either shut lyles down or move him to long relief.

Cue the Lyles Defense Brigade. "Forget all the numbers except 22, his age. He's 2 years younger than most rookie starters so don't pay attention to 3 straight seasons of ERA over 5 and WHIP over 1.45"

I've got nothing against the kid. He was almost certainly pressed into MLB action way before he should have been, and that's a shame. However, just cause he got here too early doesn't mean he has to stay here and struggle.
