A Pitch for Every Fan

Wow, kids, that was some baaaaaaaad pitching on Friday night. Other than Casey Janssen (and Jason Frasor.) As much fun as watching Travis Snider fight off eleven pitches only to get a tasty one for the seats and watching Vernon Wells smooshing salt in Texas reliever Doug Mathis' open, oozing wound, it was Janssen who was the star. He inherited the bases loaded and pitched 3 innings of shut out, 1 hit baseball. In a game where command was a dirty word, Casey shut down a potent Rangers' offense. Hitting when the pitching is that bad is easy. Anything unhittable was a ball, any strike was tatooable. Command amidst clusterfuck isn't.
