With Morrow, he was abysmal at times in April and May with a few good innings and outings during that time.

However, it does take time to figure things out, especially when you're working with a new staff and haven't been consistently a starter.

Right around June, he started having a lot fewer bad outings and a lot more good ones, and has been relatively consistent ever since. His era has dropped from like 6.5 at it's worst down to under 4.5. It's extremely difficult to lower your ERA by 2 runs when your era is that high over 2 months of the 6 month season.

It would like having a batter hit .175 for the first 200 at bats and then by the time he gets 500 at bats is hitting .250. Not a great average over the course, but to get it to that point, you have to be putting up some great numbers after that.
