Going With Garland
Jon Garland had a rough outing yesterday, no doubt about it. Unfortunately, everything he is missing with seems to end up over the heart of the plate and our opponents are taking advantage of it. There were no excuses yesterday, the wind wasn't a factor, it was just Jon. He was missing locations and getting hit, but that's all right. He still picked up his first victory of the season because he had plenty of run support. That's how a team is supposed to work. There are going to be nights for Jon this year where he keeps it to a very low-scoring game and the offense will say to him "thanks for picking us up tonight". Hopefully they will be able to help each other out successfully all season.
