CBD Triple A Picks Best Starter in August Wednesday, September 1st , 2049 The Portland Pickles owe Tim Liska a lot for his performance this past month. One of the league's most dominant starters in August, Liska tore up the opposition with a fine 5-0 mark on his way to the CBD Triple A Pitcher of the Month award. "When you're pitching this well," analyzed Liska, "it's a lot easier to come to the park. I don't judge my performance by the stats, I judge it -- the team judges it -- by the score of the game. I could say I'm tossing electric stuff right now and that would go over big. But if I toss that same stuff -- exact same pitch selection and location -- and they bang me around tomorrow, I was awful. That's the way baseball is." It was Liska who did the banging in August as he tossed up 30 strikeouts in 40 innings, holding opponents to a .209 average and posting a 1.57 ERA. So far in 12 appearances this season, Liska has recorded 6 wins and sustained 3 losses. He has pitched 71.2 innings, yielded 79 hits, fanned 48 and has a 3.39 ERA. |
