Happ Comes Through


Rookie SP J.A Happ has made two starts for the Philadelphia Phillies and thus far has not gotten a decision in either game despite pitching well both times. He has, however, done his job keeping the Phillies offense in the game and giving them a chance to win. That is something that his predecessor Brett Myers did not do. So far, Happ has posted a 3.27 ERA in 11 innings spanning 2 starts. He has struck out 8 and walked 8 as he has struggled at times with his control. Overall, he has given them a chance to win and that is all he needs to do. Hopefully he continues to build on these early efforts and sticks with the team.
