Blaze, Ford Blank Yellowknife Friday, August 20th, 2027 "That's one thing that has never changed in this game -- pitching can control hitting," the Blaze manager told reporters after today's game. The Dragonblood ran into a buzzsaw as Rob Ford cut them down to size 4-0 with a 1-hit shutout. His skipper added, "He knows exactly what he's doing. He's not going to throw you a good pitch until you make him throw one." In the complete game whitewash the South Beach hurler doled out 3 walks and registered 6 strikeouts. In the postgame press conference his catcher said, "Rob goes out there and just goes about his business. I don't think he gets too concerned about what's going on. You can call any pitch and you know where he's going to be." Ford also got some praise from the Yellowknife manager. "He really kept us in check today. Everything looked to be moving. Seemed like the pitch was right down the middle and it went over down and away... we took some pathetic swings." This season in 17 starts Rob Ford has a record of 9-6 with 135 strikeouts in 124 innings and a 2.40 ERA. View Boxscore View Game Log |
