Could it be said that Morrow throws too many pitches per PA to match that FIP? It seems like if he has even a marginally long inning (where say, 2 runs score) he has to throw 30+ pitches. This means he only ends up going 5 innings more often where a more economical pitcher could got 6 or 7. And that keeps his ERA up.

he just sucks. he didnt learn anything from marcum.
Morrow is averaging 4.05 pit/PA in his career and 4.0 pit/PA this season.
This year the MLB average is 3.85.
To throw ten extra pitches Morrow would have to face 50 extra hitters.
