What happened to him? All the sudden he has an era over 6 and I have to drop him. Every time he pitched he was near 100% and I do not let him pitch more than 15 pitches.

Anyone else see him being terrible for the past month or so?

I use him a lot.  He blew up on me in two games recently in one of my leagues.  One time was my fault -- I missed a lineup/rotation change.  The other time he imploded for no reason at 100%.  He has done well but not spectacularly in most of my other leagues.  I tend to use him in long relief and I often keep him in a while -- pull setting of 1 or 2. 

Here's the time he blew up --

Bottom line, he seems to be performing as expected in all but one of my leagues.  I think Admin said he had a bad data entry a couple years ago (there were 25 pitchers total with bad data), but they fixed it a long time ago. 

Try to use Tim Mcabe '15 for the same price. A better choice.

The Babe has not been good for me in the last year... I've quit using him.

I agree...if I use him it is at the "long B" spot.

See Tim better never have the good luck with Babe

Never had great luck with McCabe and Babe is slightly cheaper I think . Maybe its just a fluke of my league, but I played him in the same park, same way this time around and after 2/3 of the season gone with an ERA over 6, he had to go.

I think McCabe's numbers are a little deceiving, just like a few others who come to mind.
