Re: Peavy K\'s 9 in row... and counting

This is frustrating to watch... ump has been pretty loose with the zone for him.

He got a few calls, possibly squeezed a bit on the record failing 10th in a row walk, but he also got an inordinate amount of swings and misses. Almost all the K's were swinging on the slider. Those low strike calls looked like strikes, the ball just breaks so much, it looks low, but from the side, at least that one that they showed the side view, broke right over the knee. I know the D-back coach got ejected for arguing.
That's 16 ties the Padre record, but he's should be done. Maybe. I think they should protect his arm this early, just hand it over to the bully, as much as I'd like to see him get more K's. He isn't that big of a guy, I am not going to say fragile, but he was not right last year, still pitched okay, but not like this. So they are saying he's probably done.
