There are no guarantees the Pirates will win this game, but it has to count as a pretty good week for Josh Fogg. In effect he pitched Randy Johnson and Roy Oswalt to draws, and is in line to come away 2-0, thanks to some good fortune.
He is pitching at a LIMA level right now (6 K per 9, 1 HR per 9, 3 K per BB) and doesn’t show signs of faltering. He may be the sort of finesse pitcher who gets over consistently, but it’s too early to say that confidently. In fact, the general consensus among scouts and analysts is that he will be caught up with.
It was a nice week for him, nonetheless. I hope he enjoyed it.
