    Zach Duke Thread

    Zach Zack, whatever.

    Looked pretty good, even though Torres blew it for him.

    Out dueled Maddux for win number 3. This might be the beginning of a very beautiful relationship.

    Duke has looked good. Maybe your teams new ace? Beat maddux in a pitchers dual. Very good young sp you guys have.

    Duke was amazing. The Cubs' offense has been great lately, and Duke shut them out. Looks like he's beginning his promising career.

    He keeps on trucking, getting the job done without much problem.

    Down in Kokomo, where we'll get there fast and then we'll take it slow.

    I still believe Perez will end up the staff ace of this team when he gets himself healthy and his mechanics worked out. True his season has been miserable (other than a nice K/9) but his stuff outranks Duke's and he's not that much older. Duke will no doubt be a fine pitcher in my mind, but I have to question if some of his early dominance is due to the hitters being unfamiliar with him still. Either way, the Pirates will have two aces at the top of their staff, that's a bright future.

    In four outings, Duke is 3-0 with a sub 1 ERA. He's only given up 3 earned runs, all in his debut. Granted, it's only 4 starts, but it's rather promising.

    It is an incredible start for such a young pitcher. He's got poise to spare and then some. But what's even more impressive than his ERA to me is his high K/9 (8.1) and low BAA (.236) showing that there really isn't a ton of luck factoring into his stats, he's been dominant like they indicate though.
