It will be interesting to see if this is a "fun while it lasts" stretch for a pitcher hitters have never seen or something remotely close to "what you see is what you get." It struck me last night that Montgomery's starts have been a mirror image of how so many times the M's have hit against unfamiliar young pitchers. Of course, the M's also often hit like that against grizzled, booked BOR veterans as well.

I am amazed at how consitently the Zduriencik regime has been able to deploy highly effective starting pitchers from an unheralded pool of talent (Montgomery may have been a no. 1 draft choice (end of round), but when the M's deployed him there was more curiosity than buzz.) The same, of course, has held true of the bullpen.

It's unfortunate that the offense is the Bizarro World image of the pitching, or this serendipitous pitching might actually get us somewhere.
