You could tell he is a big league rookie, but I think he has TONS of potential and a very high ceiling to improve on. & ya cant beat having 2 wins in 2 starts!
Was very surprised that Chan HO park didnt blow things up for us... was expecting the Dodgers to score 10 runs when he was pitching, but he was actually effective for once.... maybe all the boo's he was hearing motivated him 
Hamels is back to his MVP form it seems.. knock on wood. |
I don't think the Dodgers are a good team to try to judge how your pitchers are doing. I mean you can see how lazy they are. They consistently wait until the last 2 innings to try to score runs. They really only want to do any work then. You have to ask yourself if Lilly, Dempster, Buckner, Herron, Garland, Hamels, Moyer, Blanton, and Bastardo all just pitched great at the same time. I doubt it. It's more likely that the Dodgers have an 8 1/2 game lead, and are just plain lazy in a lot of games right now. That's 9 games that they were lazy in. In 4 of those games they stayed lazy. In 5 of those games, they tried to comeback late to score runs. In 4 of those 5 games they were able to do it. In the last 10 games, there's only been 1 starter to get hit hard by the Dodgers early. So, I'M just saying to use other teams to judge your pitching staff with. This is a weird team to try to do that with(too lazy to be of use in doing that.) You may be right, but get a real test.
