How do you cure a 17 million dollar pitcher?

Give him a start against the ailing offense of the Cleveland Indians.

Barry Zito certainly had a fun time out there, giving up three hits through six innings. He gave up another hit and eventually was charged with a run, but for the most part, he baffled the Tribe hitters.

I caught the first two innings.. I had some radio duties, so I missed the middle. But I caught Jeremy Sowers give up the runs early.. For the most part, that isn't a bad start. Simply put though you need to do more than 4 hits against Barry Zito.

Just really a bad offensive performance, and bad is understating it. I mean, for the most part, Barry Zito got that curveball falling in for strikes.. He isn't a former Cy Young winner for nothing. They could not touch that curveball, and from what I saw, they dared him to throw it for strikes. He did just that

I did notice his arms lot changed when he threw the fastball. It was more of a sidearm, but when his arm came over the top a bit more, you could tell it was a curveball.

Choo had the lone RBI by the by..

Tomorrow we look to avoide the sweep... :sigh: You shall see Cliff Lee taking on Matt Cain.. Should be a fun one to watch pitching wise. Offensively, it will be another dagger in the leg.
