Default Zack Greinke QOTD

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.

Man, this is baseball. You gotta stop thinking. Just have fun.

I've been going to games since August 8, 1973....and on August 22, 2004, finally, a foul ball came my way. I had to reach for it, and it deflected off the tip of my right index finger. Shoot, if I was only 4 inches taller!

Have you read The Baseball Same Game?
