A Pleasant Surprise

Pat and I have argued for most of the season over what we may see out of Kip Wells. I've been taking the 'won't succeed as a Pirate' stance. My odds are good. However, I will gladly be proven wrong if it means good things for the team.

Kip was good last night. Please correct me if I'm talking out of my ass, but it seems to me like the tell-tale signs on Kip are the frequency of long at-bats where the batter fouls off a lot of pitches. He only had two of those all night.

The two hits in the second came on 0-2 counts which was frustrating (although the first one probably could have been caught) but then he mowed through that jam.

Interestingly enough, the wrap up page is quoted as, "Kip Wells pitched maybe his best game of the season" By what account on God's green Earth could anyone make the argument of last night not being Kip Wells' best game?

This is a blog about the Pittsburgh Pirates. My vision: to write about the games at the games.
