Prior to today, his season high was 7 strikeouts in a game.

 

The last time Livan Hernandez struck out 9 in a game was September 26, 2004.

 

I had to scroll back through 8 years of game logs to find that.

Wow. Be proud, Greg Walker!!

You can't sit fastball on Livan for multiple reasons. 1, he has a ton of movement on it back in to righties and away to lefties. At the same time, it looks a lot like his slider except with reverse late action. And it's hard to hit the big looping breaking ball because he changes speeds on it and it really does drop of the table. Yeah, he's throwing junk, but he's effective as all hell with it.

Hernandez should NEVER strike out 9 players in the AL. No excuse can justify that.

Not making excuses for the offense, more so praise for Livan. It's a lot harder to hit the junk he's throwing than it is a 95 mph fastball. I think it's quite obvious at this point that our offense is abysmal.
