But he's genuinely good, I'm not shocked to see him own us like this. I'm more disappointed Pilk is still going so deep into counts like last year- if he could work faster he'd be able to give and extra inning or 2. Plus he always craps out at like 80 pitches. James seems like he needs some time on the mound to let the nerves settle down, but that's understandable. I'm more interested in how the hitters respond late after Sandlin finally goes, and how the rest of the staff looks the next 2 games. But there hitting + Sandlin is a combo that can take down a lot of SEC teams, in my oppinion.
He's NEVER in his career pitched over 5 innings. He's not that damn good.
