ZIPS projects him to have an ERA+ of 98 (of course, that was still when he was listed as a Phillie, and will have to be adjusted for the Astros park.He averaged 1.4 HR/9 IP, but then again, he pitched half his games at Philly, which is more than a bit of a replica Longines L4.209.4.11.6 watch home run park.He isn't a 2 starter any more than I am, but IF he has recovered, I would guess he would be the 3 unless Bud Norris, who has better stuff, significantly outpitches him in Spring Training.
Brad's stuff is looking sharper and he didn't walk anyone.And more good news -Colorado shut out the Reds.San Fran shut out the Brew Crew.We're only back 1 2 game behind the Reds and St.Louis is 2 games behind us.Well, David DID beat replica Breitling A1738 Men's watch Goliath I called that one, didn't I?!Fernando went 7 innings, gave up no walks, 5 hits and 6 Ks, but THREE of those hits were homers, so there you are with 4 ER.Reminding me of Zeke Astacio, but with a LOT better stuff.And a LOT better mound presence.Of course, he was lucky that RBI man Adam Everett was in top form, knocked in 4, and the Brad Ausmus Hit Machine was clicking tonight.
Of course, the “experts” insist that can't no hitter ever get better after age 27 because that is when every single hitter MUST peak because that's what the charts say, but so far, Brad is proving em wrong.And Brad now has as many SB as Willy T, who replica Breitling Windrider Chronomat Men's watch has forgotten how to do it.AND an OBP of over .450 is that awesome or WHAT?!Ben Sheets looked just awful threw darn near everything down the middle, nothing moved except the balls into the OF.Ah well, even a good pitcher can have a bad night, hunh Andy Pettitte?
