My boy Clayton Richard takes the mound tonight for the Padres against the ultra-soft lineup of the New York Metropolitans. I smell a gem.
To whet our collective appetites, let's take a quick look at Clayton's last 3 starts across the two leagues:
July 21 v. Tampa Bay: 8.0 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 7 Ks
July 26 at Detroit: 8.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 Ks
August 1 v. Milwaukee: 5.2 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 5 Ks
In a word, nice. For those playing along at home, that averages out to 7.1 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, and 5 Ks per start. That's a .14 ERA and a .85 WHIP.
I shouldn't have to tell you that the Ray, Tiger and Brewer lineups are not peopled with slouches.
Ger r dun, Clayton.

I'm really excited about Clayton. It's nice to see the Jake trade paying off so soon. Gives the fans a little comfort, you know?
Kate5,
Couldn't agree more. Seeing Clayton pitch well takes the sting out of seeing Jake in that Sox uniform.
