Who Are Ya: Jason Hammel (Take Two)

Jason Hammel goes up against Todd Redmond today in a pretty boring pitching match-up. Hammel has been horrible this year with a 5.03 ERA as throwing fastballs almost two thirds of the time has caught up to him. His most used off-speed pitch, the slider, hasn't been getting whiffs making Hammel pretty one-dimensional. Left-hander hitters have been pounding him and as you can see he's always missing up and away as I noted in the first preview of him as well:

His heavy usage of the sinker early in the season has given way to more four-seamers, which may be part of the reason his ERA has skyrocketed:

The lineup I'd like to see against Hammel would be:

1. Reyes SS
2. Bautista RF
3. Lind 1B
4. Encarnacion DH
5. Rasmus CF
6. Izturis 3B
7. Thole C
8. Bonifacio LF
9. Kawasaki 2B

Enjoy the game (or your Saturday if you can't bear the torture anymore) and let's see a win please Blue Jays.
