Bronx Banter: Missed it by That Much
Baseball Toaster —
... It was a night of near-misses . Volquez was a lot of fun to watch. He was "effectively wild," but not like Daniel Cabrera. He wasn't wild enough to be hitting guys. But his pitches darted every which way. More to the point, when he fell behind in the count, he was able to come up with the big pitch. He was supremely confident, and why not? He hasn't allowed more than three runs in any start this season. It's hot n hazy again in New York today. A 1:00 start promises to bring plenty of heat. Let's Go Yan-Kees!
