His last two starts were against the two teams that are most successful against lefties in the AL and he shut them down completely... I believe 2 ER over 14 IP. IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO HE FACES, THAT'S WHAT THE WHOLE ARTICLE IS ABOUT!!! GOT WHY ARE PEOPLE IN OUR COUNTRY SO STUPID?!?! You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

He has faced too many lefties and that'll change. Right handed hitters are killing him and lineups are not adjusting like they do with a CC Sabathia; once they do, he'll go back to be the solid back of the rotation pitcher he's always been, not more. He dominated heavy left handed lineups such as the twins (without Mauer), Orioles (.702 OPS against lefties), the Royals and the A's (two of the worst lineups in the league) He has an ERA around 7.25 with a whip around 1.60 against the Rangers and Angels whom he'll face often. Also HR/FB is only 5.8%, next start is at Coors... He won’t keep it up. He has faced too many lefties and that’ll change.

Picked Washburn off the waivers early in the season, and has been one of my better pick-ups. Hopefully he'll keep it up. Nice write-up!
