Tough day here at Safety Squeeze. Why is that? Trying to pick a pitching match up to highlight for tonight. Sure, there are some quality pitchers toeing the rubber this evening, but most of them are against far infurior pitchers. Well, see for yourself...
You see, not much to choose from. Even the pitchers that are quality aren't that great. I suppose this is what you get when everyone is on their fifth start after the All-Star break. But if I have to choose one, I'll go with Jose Fernandez of the Marlins against Jhoulys Chacin of the Rockies. Now, this game features two teams that are not doing too well in the grand scheme of the National League, but both of these pitchers are notable for different reasons. Jose Fernandez is expected to be the teams ace...eventually. He's pitched well this season, especially for a rookie on the worst team in the NL (maybe.) Jhoulys Chacin is just flat out pitching over his head, but until he proves to me and everyone else that he's coming back to earth, I have to expect he's going to have a quality outing time in and time out. I think Fernandez will be a solid starter...eventually. Right now he's doing fine, and I'll be curious to see how this one shakes out. Well, as curious as anyone would be when the Rockies and Marlins get together.
Okay, that's it for today. Watch some baseball, eh?
