    So, even when Jake gets a hit, he strikes out in the same inning.

    In all seriousness, I wonder if Jake has had his eyes checked. He just doesn’t seem to be picking the ball up. I am just searching for the dramatic decline. Yes he was started quality but he was at least a 4th OF now it is very questionable if he is still a major leaguer.

    His defense is keeping him in the league. But young, cheap 4/5th OFers with a good glove who can't hit MLB pitching are not exactly scarce.

    It was nice to see Lance still have a nice start without his best stuff. Hopefully he is turning the corner maturity wise. Lance for two years ago maybe even last might have lost it there by getting frustrated in those middle innings.

    Exactly. I am not near as versed as some I have seen on this board in farm OF talent but I was thinking the same.

    Beautiful double play. Doubt the average fan realizes how easy they made that tough turn look.

    Hey, he's pitched in 8 games and hasn't blown a save yet.

    I also just realized that Cole/Morton/Verlander are going against the Angels this week. I like it.

    Hard to increase your strikeout rate when you enter the game in the 7th inning and get a hit in your first AB, but Jake just did.
