	Last two games: ERA IP H R BB K May 05 @COL 1.80 5.0 2 1 4 4 May 10 BUF 3.00 6.0 5 2 2 5 I was really hoping he'd calm down a bit. Now, I'm not suggesting he get called up before the All-Star Break, but it's nice to see him throwing better. The four walks are alarming on May 5, but only two on May 10 look better. Personally, I'm looking forward to a few dominant starts before they even think of moving him to the Bigs.

	I agree 100%. Let him stay down there for 2 more months. Let him get several more starts so he can learn to deal with getting thumped, and getting out of jams. If he rips off 5 or 6 straight dominant starts in the minors, good, just don't rush him back.

	Will do, Riley... just so everyone knows, you can listen to minor league games for free on minorleaguebaseball.com. That's where I get the stats.

	I agree 100% Liriano does need a couple of more postive starts before getting called he also needs to work on his pitch control.
