I only get to watch Buerhle pitch when a game is on the telly and not Chitown cable either mind you. The games I have seen Mark pitch in he looks good. When he misses it doesn't appear by much and I truly believe he gets squeezed. Rivera gets strikes called on the same pitches Mark gets called a ball. Now that can mean he is getting squeezed by the umps or that he is missing by an inch more or less. I think control pitchers like Mark tend to get messed with by the umps. It sucks that Buerhle gave up 8 runs, but I don't think it's the end of the world. I seem to remember that that there Pedro Martinez, who get a lot of calls his way too, got bombed recently. Maybe it's the dead arm after Spring Training, and then again it might be just a bunch of seeing eye hits and a lack of sharpness from Mark in a game. I am always more worried about someone being hurt when that happens, but that doesn't seem to be the case. I am betting that Mark Buerhle's next start will be just fine. I know one thing I really enjoy watching Mark Buerhle, Esteban Loaiza and Jon Garland pitch when they are on their game. They are beautiful. And I don't mean that in that kind of way.
