I saw Severino being interviewed last night and he said that he hopes to go 4 innings and hand it off to the bullpen. That's like a relay runner saying that he hopes to run 50 meters and pass the baton to the next guy. Baseball has really lowered the bar as to what is expected of pitchers nowadays. Then again, after getting yanked in the first inning in his last WC start, I guess lasting four would be a major accomplishment.
