The first few games of Gavin Stone’s big league career haven’t gone the way anyone would have hoped. It happens… baseball is a tough game at times. Even if the Dodgers send him down to Triple-A before the weekend, these last few weeks won’t be looked at as a failure. They’ll be looked at as a learning opportunity.
Not every pitcher comes up and succeeds the way Bobby Miller has, for example. Clayton Kershaw was sent back you Double-A after his first 8 MLB starts. Walker Buehler had to struggle through a terrible September in 2017 before he became the guy that started game 163 in 2018.
