The End of Morris?

Matt Morris pitches another poor ballgame. It's not clear how long he'll stay in this game, but through three innings he's allowed seven earned runs and two homers to the Marlins. He's given up five home runs in twenty innings, a rate of 50 in 200 innings. He's yet to pitch a good game, and about the only thing he's doing well is not walking batters. Given the number of hits he's given up, his opponents don't really need to wait for the walk.

Morris isn't a youngster learning on the job. He's a veteran whose game has been slipping for five years. He may have just reached the point of no return.

Update: While I wrote this Morris gave up another run in the fourth inning.

He makes $10M and is 33 - I'm guessing he'll stay in until the end of his contract and then after 29 other teams don't return his phone calls.
