Eventually it 'should' catch up with him unless he starts throwing more strikes.

Well, pitching in Arlington, that is going to get you in a good bit of trouble. That should get you in a good bit of trouble anywhere. I like this guy and was excited when we got him, but I never knew 6+ walks in 5 innings was the norm for him. I just hope that it was nerves and he settles into 2 or 3 per 5 innings, (worst case).
