Dunning

[A. Cavatica]

What a great second start! I wasn’t watching his velocity, but based on pitch count he was pulled at the right time. It sure seemed to me that he finished strong.

RR said he will stay in the rotation. Next start will be in KC.

Good. We can’t keep relying on ReyLo to be our 4. Let’s get someone before deadline and ReyLo spot starts and pen duty

You gotta be happy with how this kid is pitching.

[thomas35forever]

He's looked very impressive early on. Hopefully, he'll be at that point next season when he's able to go deep into games.

Is the plan to shut Dunning down for the playoffs, a la Strasburg in 2012?

Strasburg was shut down due to an innings limit. I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Dunning isn’t going to get there.

[Tragg]

Giolito, Keuchel, Cease and Dunning. That's a quality rotation and all you need for this season. Really you only need 3.

[KenBerryGrab]

Having two breaking balls that are so effective is rare. His composure is something, too.

Gio Gonzalez went on the IL. Dunning remaining in the rotation may be because of this.
