We looked at the Blue Jays batters yesterday, now it is time for the pitchers.
| R.A. had three starts, two were good, one was bad. The team won all three starts. He went 1-0 with a 2.75 ERA. His defense let him down in the game in Oakland, they had a very hard time catching pop ups in the 'high sky'. In 19.2 innings, he gave up 21 hits. 6 doubles, 2 home runs, 5 walks with 16 strikeouts. Batters hit .266/.310/.418 against him. Not great but better than he's been. | |
| 3 starts, 2 were excellent (a 2-hit shutout and 7 shutout innings) and 1 bad (6 innings, 5 earned). 2-0 and 2.05 ERA on the two weeks. 22 innings, 14 hits, 5 earned, 4 walks and 15 strikeouts. Batters hit .182/.222/.311. Great work Mark. | |
Two starts, both terrible, in total 20 hits in 9.1 innings, 4 walks and 8 strikeouts. 0-2, 12.54 ERA. Batters hit .435/.481/.587 against him. | ||
| He's back. His start wasn't good, 4 innings, 7 hits, 7 runs, 6 earned, 3 walks 2 strikeouts. I'm hoping the next will be better. | ||
| Josh Johnson | 3 starts. 1 good, 2 terrible. 1-2, 9.00 ERA. Batters hit .393/.446/.607 against him, 6 walks, 14 strikeouts in 13 innings. |
| Casey | I love Casey. He pitched in 4 games, won 2, saved 2. 4.0 innings, 0 hits, 0 walks, 2 strikeouts. |
| Pitched in 5 games before going on the DL. 4.2 innings, 4 hits, 3 earned, 1 walk, 10 strikeouts. The inning that he struck out the side on 9 pitches was amazing. All 3 runs were scored in his last appearance. I couldn't understand why Gibby didn't pull him. Batters hit .266/.313/.667. | |
| Aaron pitched in 6 games, 7 innings, had 1 hold, 1 loss. 3.86 ERA. Allowed 11 hits, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts. Batters hit .376/.414/.400 against him. He's been so good he is allowed a down week. | |
Cecil pitched in 5 games, he picked up 2 wins and a save. In 4.1 innings he allowed 2 hits, 1 home run, 1 earned, 1 walk, 4 strikeouts. Batters hit .133/.400/.188 | ||
| He is back, pitched twice, 2.1 innings, 2 hits, 0 walks, 1 k, no runs. A very small sample size up arrow. | ||
| Darren pitched in 4 games, 4.2 innings, allowed 3 hits, 1 walk with 5 strikeouts. Batters hit .200/.250/.267. | ||
| He had 2 starts before being sent back down to the minors. One was good, 6 innings, 3 hits, 1 earned, 2 walks, 10 strikeouts. One bad, 3.2 innings, 7 hits, 3 earned, 1 walk, 5 k. 3.72 ERA. Batters hit .256/.326/.385 against him. I kind of feel bad for him. He's been better than some of our starters. A start back he strikes out 10 in 6 innings, one start later he's back to the minors. | ||
| Juan Perez | I love watching Juan pitch. He pitched in 3 games. 7.0 innings. He did allow 3 runs but was pretty good. Batters hit .160/.300/.240 with 5 walks and 8 strikeouts. I can't figure out how he allowed 3 runs with a batting line like that against him. |
| Brad Lincoln | He's back up and pitched in 2 games. 4.1 innings 1 hit allowed, 4 walks 2 k, no runs. Batters hit .077/.294/.077 against him |
- Dustin McGowan is on the DL again,he pitched in 2 games, 2.2 innings total, allowed 2 hits, 1 earned, 3 walks and no strikeouts. Batters hit .200/..385/.200 in 10 at bats.
- Sergio Santos is up now. Pitched in 2 games, 3.1 innings, 1 hit (a triple), 1 earned, 0 walks, 2 k. Batters hit .100/.091/.300 in 10 at bats.
