4/20: More of the same
Pythagorean buttwhippings like this are easy to get used to. So is seeing Carlos Z start like every batter out with a strike or two and then get them to beat the ball into the ground in the general direction of a middle infielder. 111 pitches, though, is again quite a few, especially with a 7-run lead after 6 innings. Look at the pitch-by-pitch to see how tired he was getting...after 5 innings of first-pitch strikes, he starts getting into deep counts and working from behind almost every hitter. How about getting Wuertz some work to build up his confidence?
I guess it's a quibble, but I want Zambrano around a long time. I want to see more games like this, too. I also want a pony.
