[Quality Start Machine]

Sure, but let's see what he does with the second pitch he sees.

You won "best post of the week".

You have very low expectations for this week.

Big-ass bump for the pop & throw and tag play at the plate in the 9th last night.

After seeing him in a few games, I believe it. He plays with a lot of intensity, like a not-annoying version of John Lackey. Bizarro Lackey.

A potential comp, although I'm not convinced Willson has the same appetite for murder.

Are we sure he's not just Big Z in catcher's gear?

If he ever beats himself up in the locker room, we'll know.

There's a lot of extra room in the new locker room and you could probably find some quiet private space to rub one out. It would have been really awkward in the old locker room doing it next to the batting tee.

That's not a very nice thing to call Jason Marquis.
