Speaking of being worried about a pitcher. Matt Morris was just atrocious. 57 pitches to get through 1 2/3 innings.......29 of them balls......while giving up 7 earned runs...with every single earned run being richly deserved. 5 hits and 4 walks.......just terrible. He really wasn't close. I saw nothing resembling good velocity.....no control.....nothing. I did see 2 or 3 good curveballs..........but for some reason he was throwing them all on 1 strike counts. Then he would get to a 2 strike count.....and not be able to finish off the hitter. The only thing that saved him........if you can give up 7 ERs and still be "saved".......... was that he gave up no extra base hits.

It's Spring Training.....1st outing........and it means nothing........but add it to last year's performance.......and I am REAL worried.
