Colorado Rockies should shut down Jon Gray

Other than Carlos Gonzalez' Jack-the-Ripper-esque murderous rampage against all baseballs, the biggest reason to watch Colorado Rockies games in the second half of 2015 has been Jon Gray.

But now that he has passed the 130 innings mark -- in addition to showing signs of fatigue on the mound -- it would be wise to shut him down very soon. In fact, I'm not sure he should make another start.

To my eyes, he was falling off his delivery last night to either side of the rubber giving him wildly inconsistent side-to-side command. He didn't have the strength and explosion in his body moving toward the plate that he normally does which made it harder to keep in a straight line.
