It may also be that Ortio's practice habits, conditioning and demeanour in the early part of the season made an impact on how many starts he was afforded in the first place.
I keep getting back to this because it is important. There is a tonne that we as fans simply will never know that goes into making roster decisions. I am practically certain that the false dichotomy you have concocted to explain the situation is not an accurate reflection of reality.
