[schittenden]

Okay. 10-pitch, 1-2-3 inning, please.

4 strikeouts in 2 innings. Isn't that what you've been clamoring for all season? The Jays have hit one ball hard and it left the yard. It was also their only fly ball that wasn't an infield fly or blooper. Ever pitcher would put up awful stats if teams had an .833 BABIP against them. Chen's gotten 6 outs. An foul pop up, a soft ground ball, and 4 strikeouts. The Jays have a horse shoe shoved in them somewhere it happens. They're 5-6 in BABIP and the O's are 0-5. The Jays have gotten as lucky as you can get offensively and defensively. That's not Chen's fault. They can still win this one. And Chen is still a good pitcher.

I love this line of thinking.

First inning Cabrera Reimold were good singles no luck. The hit with 2 outs that got the first run in was on our slow RF. A avg RF catches that and Blue Jays score 0.

2nd Inning Cabrera hard hit ball then the HR.

So please tell me how the Jays are getting lucky?

Hutchison had a near 8 ERA coming into this start at home on the season, a near 8 ERA in the last month, and a near 6 ERA against every team besides the Orioles. Against the Orioles he has given up 3 runs in 22 innings.

They can still comeback. Hutchison is quite bad. Doesn't mean they will but the potential for a comeback is definitely there. A Nelson Cruz and Adam Jones sighting would go a very long way.

I've seen this Chen before.

[WEAVERMAN]

If you don't allow any more Chen, we will win this game.

K... The O killer.

[WEAVERMAN]

K Rasmus, let's go.

Kakes NOT HAPPY I never SEE him argue strikes!!

Nick has a very good idea of the strike zone.

A little better. Bautista hits even good lefties.

Fip over 4, ERA at whatever it is, and doesn't really give you 6 innings that often. That's about average.

I am totally dumbfounded that he's got as much rep as he does. I wish monkey list still worked, because I see his goofy posts even though he's on ignore because people love to quote the troll. He's allowed to troll because he's an O's fan, though.

It's the Twitter speed combined with the occasional quality post.

Kinda irrelevant though, the only rep indicator I pay attention to is the presence of red pips.

Nice contract tho.

[tntoriole]

How come everybody in the AL gets this guy out and he NEVER makes an out against us?

YEP :agree:

100% True. Some folks just look at the 12 wins.

No. Some folks look at the whole picture. Chen is far from awful.
