He will be doing about like this.Halos better hit if he pitches like this.

He has lost 3 of his last 4 decisions,and the team has lost 4 of the last 6 games he has started.This is since 8/17..I told ya he isn't that good in the 2nd half,but you'll frame the results to fit your needs.Fact is he tires in the 2nd half,and he is usually giving up 3 or 4 runs by the 6th inning.Yanks and Boston got to him in August,and he will be chased by the 5th or 6th inning in the post.He is a good example of a Texas Hee-Haw Fatboy who needs to be still (cuz he tired.) Garrett Andersen has told Lackey repeatedly that the only good thing coming out of Texas is the I-10, but I think Frito Lay also contributes some damn good products.What was he in the 1st half 11-5? Now he is what? 16-9? Any way you look at it,he isn't as good in the 2nd half.......Right? Team has played great,but they have only won 4 of the 6 starts he had since 8/17...He isn't as bad as last year's 2nd half,but he isn't as good at all in the 2nd half.He throws over a hundred pitches in 6 or 7 innings..See? Not that sharp..Not that good in the 2nd half. ....TIRED TEX.That's what I said would happen.You and Timm were laughing about it,but he ain't going 11-5 in the 2nd half.Lately,he has to go out of the game due to throwing too many pitches by the 6th or 7th...duh...ain't sharp.He had 16 decisions (11-5) in the 1st half...He will have only 10 or 11 decisions in the 2nd half...Why? He can't keep the pitch count down ....112 pitches against f'n Baltimore in 7 innings....Tires...has to go out of game...Not sharp enough (Not as good in the 2nd half.)

Check out the last 4....

That would be 29.2 IP 28 hits 8 runs 2 hrs 4 bbs 27 k's

Not bad for a tired guy


decisions are a function of how much your team scores....if you get shutout or the bullpen blows it then you dont get a decision ....not your fault...
