thank God we never trade our pitching prospects while other teams are still interested!

One more for your list

He’s thrown 7 wild pitches, including 4 in one game for a franchise record.

A .45-to-1 K-BB ratio?

Wow. Even for DCab, that is horrifying.

On the other hand

an indefinite K-BB ratio in the batter’s box. THAT’S pretty awesome.. no?

Are we surprised?
1.82 WHIP, averaging LESS than 5 innings a start, career ERA OVER 5

See also: Mark Hendrickson. At least the Hen is cheaper, and hits less batters.

22 BB, 10 K

Wow, that’s poor. We have 10 guys with 10 or more Ks, including Berge. Our two walks leaders, added together, have 24 BB.

BTW I don’t think he’s a bum, I just don’t think he’s a baseball player. He’s a big, big guy that can throw hard and we tried to turn him into a pitcher. He’s got even less business with a bat in his hands, unless you’re looking for a very imposing bodyguard.

yeah...

no intent to be un-pc or impugn the guy’s character. heck, i believe he’s trying to be a good pitcher, but i just don’t think he can make it happen, is all.

poor bastards

A Nats blogger writes during ST with great hopefulness about how miracle worker pitching coach Randy St Claire is going to harness all that DCAB potential. Not a bad article, with pictures and quotations from Claire himself. (The author attended ST)

We were this hopeful once.
