McCarthy looks like he has a good curveball. But I also saw that he has a straight 91 MPH fastball with no movement whatsoever. That pitch will get killed in the big leagues.
C.C. Fatbathia's beautiful line against the Red Sox tonight:
4.2 IP
9 H
9 ER
0 BB
5 SO
2 HR
He gave up a career high 9 ER and he is now 5-4 with a nice 4.66 ERA.
I just hope El Duque gets healthy soon. He isn't fun to watch either but he still doesn't give up as many runs.
Does anyone even feel like watching Prior vs. McCarthy at the Cell on Sunday? That's not going to be a fun one.
My point is that everyone makes bad predictions. I do, you do, everyone does. If you want to call me out for making a bad one, I will call you out for doing the same.
