Written GarbageEvery outlet of Pirate news I have has talked about John Grabow recently, and I have to say: guys, it's a little late.Mike Gonzalez went on the DL June 23. Grabow, in his first stint as a true lefty set-up man, had his most impressive outing of the season on June 26, forcing two Cardinals to pop-up with the bases loaded. I gave him credit,. Since then he has pitched 8 innings (not above the pace he was on) and has a 5.63 ERA. Also his GO-AO ratio has flip-flopped and he gave up his first homerun of the season. Is it impressive that he has only allowed one inherited runner to score, yes. But it was more impressive when he only let one inherited runner to score a month ago and he had just pitched in two games in which he came in with less then two outs and the bases loaded. I've been more than disappointed with most of what I've read lately. The team has sucked, I want investigation into why that is, I want justification for it so that I can either understand or criticize it. I want journalism, not fluff. Is it really that difficult to write a non opinion infused article, relying on fact, about the state we're in? posted by Rory at 1:44 PM | |
