Re: Our buddy Zach Ward has been having a little hard luck

Is there even a pitcher in that league with an ERA over 3.50?

Plenty.

At one point in the season he was 2-7 with a sub 2.75 ERA. I saw it and just shook my head. I felt bad for the kid.

How about another 8 innings with two unearned runs, six hits, 9 SO and he is on the end of a losing score 2-0 against our Sarasota Reds.
