Zack Greinke QOTD

[PianoMonkey]

Of last night's 7-inning, 4 hit, 5 K performance:

"Today, I just pitched like a normal pitcher,” he said. “I didn't do anything silly. And it worked."

The implications, of course, being (a) he is NOT a normal pitcher, and (b) he usually DOES do silly things.

I love my pitcher....

Greinke is showing a lot of promise. In 140 innings as a 20 year old he has an ERA under 4.00, a .255 opponents BA, and a 6+ K/9. All good signs. The HR/9 is worrisome though.

FWIW, after ZG faced NY, A-Rod raved about him - much the same as many others do, about his stuff, poise, age, etc.
