He's looked better then any of our starters lately. Not Rich Hill. But yeah Trachsel isn't getting hit hard, he's been pretty unlucky. Pierre, Penny, and Furcal smoked the ball Just cause Furcal didn't bloop the ball in there didn't mean they smoked the ball. I know but they were all hard hit balls 2 of them were ground balls, Penny's as gameday put it was a soft line drive. They weren't infield singles, but they weren't what I'd call smoked either. they were all hit hard. Regardless, he hasn't pitched that bad. At least he pitched 6 innings and kept us into the game. he was lucky to only give up three, but he did better than i thought he would. If he was Rich Hill you'd call it a masterpiece. why do you have to be a dick about it? i said he pitched fine. screw off.
