Well now… I turn it on for 2 pitches and give up 2 runs. Blame me (or Lance).

Lance is such a coinflip right now. It’s either really good or really bad.
Have to go finish some work. Someone else can PBP.
Against the Dodgers Lance still felt shaky. Jakes diving catch helped him a lot.

I haven’t seen the really good yet. I’ve seen the terrible and the not quite terrible.

Astros 0-3 w/RISP, leave a pair, but somehow manage to scratch out a run
2-1 Rangers after one.
I’ll amend my statement to say “prevents runs or really bad”
His last 5 starts before tonight, 6IP 3R, 6IP 0R, 5IP 4R, 3.1IP 8R, 6IP 1R
So that’s 18 runs in his last 27.1 innings. That’s pretty fucking terrible.

FWIW, take away 8 runs and 3.1 innings and it works out to a 3.75 ERA.

Take away 700 home runs and Babe Ruth only hit 14.
But since we’re doing the “look at it as a whole”, that’s where I’m even less impressed.
Look, I like Lance. I commend him for battling the way he has. I hope he’s successful. But I’ve seen absolutely nothing from him that impresses me or gives me hope. He’s been really bad, IMO, even in the games he didn’t get clobbered.

Good ol’ Marvin. He finds strikes.
Garcia goes deep to dead center on a 2-0 hanging slider right down the middle.
