Scott Feldman’s brain says six innings is the minimum a starter should go, but his arm hasn’t been up to that task as much as he’d like this season.
Feldman, signed by the Reds in January as a veteran to help stabilize the Reds pitching staff, has gone six innings just twice in his six starts this season. He lasted just four on Tuesday, taking the loss in the Pirates’ 12-3 drubbing of the Reds.
“I think every time as a starting pitcher you take the ball, six innings is pretty much the least amount you want to throw,” Feldman said.
