Schills pitched a ton better today

 

6.1 IP, 9 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 3 SO

A ton? He pitched a little better. If it weren't for some nice plays by the sox and some baserunning blunders by the chisox, he gives up more runs.

well the stats are on paper as it is, and ive seen some yankee pitchers go through the same situation

Yes, if you didn't watch the game and just looked at the boxscore, you should probably be encouraged. If you watched it and saw he really should have given up more runs, well I wouldn't say he pitched that much better.

[riverside sluggers]

yea so it says right there I didnt watch the game, huh? Actually I did and he has improved from what I have seen as of late, note the triple in the 3rd inning was from Manny's lack of play in the outfield

No, I didn't say you didn't watch the game. I'm just saying in general.

But some of the runs he gave up could have been prevented too. If Manny hustles to the ball hit by Uribe he may have prevented Blum from going home or possibly could have even caught the ball and changed the whole complexion of the 2 run 5th inning. The fastball velocity was good, the splitter is getting better as he wasn't leaving as many balls up in the zone as he previously had. He still needs to work on lowering that number however.

His splitter was the best I've seen since his return, but he still hung some. His fastball did get in the 90's fairly consistently, but I don't he'll ever be what he once was.

Hey, did we have Mark Belhorn playing short today?
