FCB always thinks there is an injury when a pitcher has a bad game or 2....after he has pitched well all year, or for most of the year.

I keep telling him.....the days of a pitcher with consistent 7-8 IP, 1-2 ER per game is over.....you are lucky to get that out of 1 or 2 starters on your team.

The Twins with Santana and Liriano earlier this year made it seem like it was 1988. Less than half of the teams in the majors can have pitchers throw this well anymore, IMO.
