Dear Zack

I’m truly sorry Trey gives you the shittiest llineups to get run support. I really am. I guess he’s just expecting you to throw a no hitter every time you start so you only need 1 run or something.

SHHHH.

TPJ is still studying how to pitch.

he's learning to pitch, not to become a monk.

How Exactly Does

One retire 9 in a row and have 90 pitches through 4?

I'm just not very impressed by Tillman

Quite a bit early, I know. And the rain and MLB debut could be messing with him…

But can he throw anything but his fastball for strikes?

Just because we’re chasing his crap including his way-too-high fastball doesn’t mean he’s doing well.
