Commentary

In his last start, Ernesto Frieri gave 7 runs in 4.1 innings. In his first start of the season Frieri allowed 4 earned runs in 5.0 innings. In each of the 7 in-between and in last night’s start, Frieri has given up 2 or fewer runs. His ERA is sitting pretty at 3.22. I’d like to see a few less walks (20 in 50.1 innings) but all in all Ernesto is performing well. I think he’s more likely to end up coming out of the bullpen but I’m still glad we have him in our system.
