He started off slowly last season too. Sending him down doesn't mean he can't come back up once he's rolling. Besides, he's one of the few with options left. Bronson, Homer & some say Edinson's out. At this point it's all about who's pitching better. Right now, it's not Travis.
If Bruce makes that catch, there's one out and nobody on base and he's pitching out of the windup. I like his chances better of getting out of that inning unscathed. He pitched bad, no doubt, but that misplay was very costly. I would give him at least 3-5 more starts before I would even consider sending him down.
