Bowden's poor outing

Michael Bowden's line last night against the Yankees:

2 IP, 8 hits, 7 runs, 3 walks, 0 strikeouts, 1 wild pitch, 1 hr allowed. He needed 63 pitches to record just 6 outs.

Bowden's fastball appeared to be very straight last night which might explain why he was so hittable

The pitchfx, courtesy of Brooks Baseball, also shows us that Bowden stayed away from both righties and lefties suggesting that perhaps Bowden was afraid to challenge hitters
