"In my mind, if I give up five solo jacks, it's 5-4 and we're still in the game," Fogg said. "That's part of the game I can live with if they're all solos. I was putting guys on before they were hitting them. If you can't keep the ball down in the zone, you don't deserve to keep the ball in the yard."This from Bob Dvorchak's column today.
Sure the wind was blowing out, but no starter can credibly argue that he has kept his team in the game after serving up five home runs (or four, as Fogg allowed yesterday). Five runs is not a quality start. Like a number of his pitches, that quote is probably one that Fogg would like back.
Boehringer and Boyd are pitching well enough to keep their jobs right now, making any move of Fogg to the bullpen more difficult.
