Why the hell is the media calling this "555" for his rotation?

I understand Doc plays him in 5-6 minute spurts before he sits him, but why three 5s?

Makes no sense to me lol.

I like the rotation better, but the name confuses me. It's not describing the actual pattern. Maybe I'm missing something.

Three five minute spurts per half instead of two 7-8 minute runs.
