Remember when Shane Greene was a thing? Those were the days, spring had just sprung and there was so much hope, so much optimism. Your team ERA was so pretty then. You had a shiny new toy fresh from the free agent pool and after his second of two 8 IP, 0 ER gems, you were feeling like the smartest guy your league. Then, April 24th happened. 4 IP, 8 ER vs. the lefty-heavy Indians lineup. Still you believed and then, 4.1 IP, 7 ER. You were wounded, beaten, bloodied and you team ERA was approaching the double digit mark. If this sounds familiar, it’s OK, we’ve all been there. Now is the time to act and seek a little revenge against the one who hurt you. It became apparent fairly early that Greene had some trouble with southpaws. In fact, his season splits read like a hall of famer to be, lefties are slashing .349/.401/.592. There are a handful of pitchers I adore stacking against and when Greene was optioned to AAA, I was sad to lose one of the best. Aaron Harang and Bud Norris can only do so much here. Greene is back now though and in his first start back in the majors proceeded to go 4.2 IP and give up 7 ERs. There’s the Shane we know and love. I really can’t dream up a more nightmarish match-up for Shane besides maybe the Yankees in the house that Jeter built. Seattle can go lefty-heavy with the best of ‘em and I could easily see another 3 IP, 8 ER outing here. There’s not a Seattle lefty I won’t be trying to squeeze into my lineup tonight and I’ll mention one or two below so you don’t forget. Just remember, left on Greene and you’ll be on the road to sweet redemption.
