They are hitting .316/.385/.526 against him. Chase Utley is hitting .286/.380/.520 for his career. So basically every left handed hitter is turned into a more productive hitter than CHASE UTLEY when facing Kendrick!!!

That is not good...

effective, IMO, for his position as a fill in for an injured starter, or 6th man, is around a 4.5 ERA. He's done fine as a fill in guy.. give or take a couple starts when he had a 17 + ERA

Like I said he was effective in 5 of 12 starts. Pitching 6 innings and allowing 4 or 5 runs isnt effective. He would love to have a 4.50 era.

game 1 - 4 IP - 5 runs
game 2 - 1.2IP - 6 runs
game 3 - 8 IP - 0 runs
game 4 - 5 IP - 5 runs
game 5 - 5 IP - 4 runs
game 6 - 7 IP - 0 runs
game 7 - 6 IP - 4 runs
game 8 - 8 IP - 2 runs
game 9 - 4 IP - 5 runs
game 10 -6 IP - 2 runs
game 11 -7 IP - 1 run
game 12 - 5 IP - 5 runs

he was effective in games 3,6,8,10 and 11.
More often than not you have to get 4 IP out of your bullpen and have to score 6+ runs to win a game that he starts.

That isn't good.
