Better than Haynes but still a loser

The hits and walk numbers were OK tonight but the man gives up too many home runs. This isn't a new or fluke thing. It's recurring, it's consistent, it's been part of Fogg's pitching profile since the very start. He's easy to hit hard. That's a serious problem. Tonight it was two homers and four earned runs in seven innings. And the Bucs lose 4-3. Fogg's an innings-eater when he's good but when he's good he's still below average. He lets the other team score too often. Home runs will do that. I guess he's buying time for the minor league guys to get it together.

If you want to be positive, you can also note that he was better than Jimmy Haynes tonight.
