anybody got any info on J lannon for the nationals??

[olballcoach]

does this guy suck or can he hang in there. I'm actually thinking about going with the nats

 

[sLim901]

in my opinion...hes their 2nd best starter behind jordan zimmermann...

his 3-5 record is deceiving cuz hes pitched fairly well this year...

hes 1-1 in his last 3 starts w/ a 1.80 era against cincinnati, mets, and the phillies...

By far the best pitcher on the team. Will give up some hits and walk a few batters from time to time but he has a knack for getting double plays and making pitches when he needs to.

Will not blow you away as he tops around 90 but he hits the corners well with his sinker to induce a lot of ground balls.

This is obviously a tough start tonight though. Lannan has struggled against great offenses like Philly's so it will be interesting to see how he does tonight.

Nats may win tonight but I'd have a tough time backing them simply because the offense is so cold. They aren't hitting anybody. The starting pitching for the Nats has been solid in the last 4 games on the road against TB and NYY yet the Nats have lost every game due to spotty relief pitching and non-existent offense.

thanks for the info, seems like really good numbers. Don't you think giving the nats 2.5 runs at a -160 is a good price?

average velocity with above average movement...if he can hit his spots the 2nd and 3rd time through the lineup vs the yankees it could be a close one tonight.

and by the way the last time he pitched in new york he got shelled by the mets.

I got a funny feeling though all the sudden Wang is rejuvinated and pitches 8 scorless innings. But he could also blow up again.

Kid looks great so far....


NYY ~~:<<

 

[KingofNicotine]

Can anyone tell me how Wang is a starter with a 12.9 ERA?

You can use Wang and Sucks in the same sentence. Any way you want to.
