That's not good or even decent.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
I have to agree. I watched the entire game up through Z's exit, and while the velocity and movement were nice and all, he was VERY lucky not to have given up at least 5 runs. At one point his strike/ball ratio was around 2/3 and even that was better than he actually looked. Anyway, I realize it is his first start back and he wasn't stretched out properly at all before this, but NO pitcher can expect to win on a consistent basis falling behind just about every hitter.

There was an AB early in the game, against Huff I believe, where Z clearly got hosed on 2 missed strike calls and then he ended up walking him, and Z seemed to never recover from that. So much for anger management. Same Z as always, and it really pains me to say it.

I think you're probably right that the missed strike calls affected him, by what does that have to do with anger?
