Rough, rough night for Joba Chamberlain in New Britain. 4.2 innings, 9 hits, 7 runs (all earned), 3 walks, 7 strikeouts and 3 home runs.

In a way, this is a good thing. You don’t really learn much about a pitcher until he struggles. Chamberlain has had nothing but success as a professional but that’s not how it works in the majors.

His next start will be very interesting to follow.

文中還有提到現金男打算把在2A今年入選未來之星還被胡金龍敲過安打的Joba Chamberlain升上來已補足萬一 Proctor 被交易出來的中繼投手的空缺

他前幾天在小聯盟被打爆,投了4.2局被打了9支安打,3次保送,丟了7分,都是自責分,包括3支HR,但也K掉7人

不過作者說這不是件壞事,反而是有助於他邁向一位成功的大聯盟球員必需要歷經的過程
