    You're probably correct in general about the strikes he needs consistently, and he is certainly not Fernando II, but his problems were compounded by a really ridiculously tiny K zone at times, so I have to disagree on that.
    I mean, that is what I saw.
    He has a lot of lateral movement on his pitches, rather than vertical, and his pitches appear to possibly go around the corners, not over them.
    I'm sure he got the majority of those pitches in the minors, but not so in the Show...where it should be exactly the same in that respect.
    Wherever he is, the zone should he the zone, but it's not.

    If you say he was lucky to win yesterday ok I can buy that but a lot of pitchers get lucky. As long as it results in a win I can live with it but remember it's not how, it's scoreboard. Please continue to be lucky!!!! One good thing about this being the last game before the break using the pen again won't wear the guys out. With respect to Kenley however I'm hoping for a game that we won't have to use him.

    Uh, I guess you're responding to my post about McCarthy?
    Yeah, that's exactly what I'm saying. Lucky is fine and it counts big time. The team scores for him. Wins.
    That is why I wrote that. Yup.

    I think McCarthy has some nasty stuff. It's the command that has been off so far.

    i like norris because he is not the same pitcher from the past.
    He has been on a helluva hot streak.
    Which could be just that. A streak.
    But his streak is not just hot air.
    There is a clear reason why he is a better pitcher now tban before.
    He has improved his skill base by adding a new and very useful pitch.
    Which is a good trait to see in a player.
    Coachability.
    Like how Puigs recent better play has an explanation other than simply luck or that hes hot.

    Damn that schedule to start the 2nd half is some bullshit... if we survive that + getting to the trade deadline we should be in a good spot

    That works, but we hardly ever see right handed hitting YD, so that was the play

    Solid 5 for Maeda. Let's see how he does the third time through order.
