CHAN HO: TONIGHT & IN GENERAL

Tonight's game was enjoyable game despite the loss.  I like the smaller Monday crowds.  Cameron showed what a real center fielder can do and tore up the base paths, too.  But the best part of the game was watching Chan Ho almost pitch a complete game, only to be yanked by Boch with two outs in the 9th.  Chan Ho left the field very reluctantly, leaving behind a stream of Korean f-bombs.

Star-divide

In the 9th, A-Go made an error that was scored as a single.  Then there was a very close play at first as Blum bounced a ball to A-Go.  Finally, on another ground ball, Blum couldn't get the ball out of his glove and Chan Ho, after inducing 3 straight ground balls, was yanked with 2 outs as the sacrificial lamb.  Chan Ho's stuff is almost as filthy as Jake's; the difference is location.  His slider was his out pitch tonight, but he used his fastball, curve, and change, too.  Here's hoping for more performances like this from Chan Ho.

Chan Ho's awesome
His stuff was really working. I still can't believe that he has a good five pitches in his belt and Balsley wants him to focus it down to three. If he can pull out that many, why not let him mix it up? Wouldn't his fast ball be that much more devastating?

Plus
He has the word "Ho" in his name. Wiggins is all about 'dem hoez', son.

Hum that Pea
Chan Ho is toeing the rubber today.  Will he be joined once more by battery mate Josh Bard, pounding his fist into his mitt and shoting, "Hum that pea, Chan Ho!?"  Bosh's psychological, ego-building techniques ("He has number one starter stuff") appear to be working.
