Brad Penny's first start after the 81 game mark...

4 IP, 4 BBs, 6Ks, 6 ER tonight.

But unfortunately for the Braves he was also 2-2 with 3 RBIs. So I guess they'll move him over to first base for the rest of the year?

That's not a bad idea. He can probably play 1B for the Yankees.

Yeah, his ascension to a 3.50 ERA has begun.

I thought he had a blister and that really **** up your command.

not to mention if its in the wrong spot you cant get the right snap on your breaking pitches which decreases break.

the announcers were saying he wasn't able to throw his slider decently because of the blister. pretty much what celtic said

He was going to regress, he's not a 2.00 ERA pitcher.

He was able to throw all his pitches. He just was due for a shellacking.

Is Penny historically a bad 2nd half pitcher? I know he pretty much struggled last year in the 2nd half after having a good first half

Posted: **Sat Jul 7, 2007 1:46 pm**

he's somewhat bad in the 2nd half.

1st half: 55-34 3.68 era
2nd half: 27-29 4.30

and he's not good in july.
9-13 4.88 era

Uh oh... Has it started?
