GET LIT UP!

Tony and I decided that we needed to show off our prognostication skillz to all of you, so here's our new blog feature: picking which pitcher will GET LIT UP during the week in the Hardcore League.

First and foremost, the inspiration (16 second mark):

So let's get to the rules, which are very simple. If a pitcher gets lit up, we get a check mark and you shower us with praise. We think that if a starter ends his outing with an ERA of 6 or higher, that's pretty much getting lit up. As Tony said, "If his stats make you say 'Fuck!'...he got lit up."

Here goes:

Shaun

1) Phil Hughes, Tuesday @ Orioles (No real reason...the O's are due to do something)

2) Cliff Lee, Friday vs. Rangers (First start back, I don't like it)

3) Yovanni Gallardo, Saturday @ Padres (Sorry to pick on Big Head for 2/3 of my picks, but the Fathers have been quietly good at home)

Bullpen Arsonist - Kevin Gregg (You'd think this would be a lay-up, but Gregg's been pretty good lately. Tick tick tick tick. BOOM.)

*Tony is too busy in the cages this week, but he'll be here next week.
