Boof Pitches, Twins still win

I was able to watch the Twins game on FSN's new "Squeeze Play". It as a good way to watch a game if you weren't able to see the game originally.

Boof actually pitched pretty good. 2 of the 5 runs were unearned and he had a 7:1 K:BB ratio. That was good to see, a majority of those strikeouts were on his excellent curveball. Yes he did give up 2 more homeruns.

I believe the homeruns will normalize and his homerun rate will drop for the rest of the season. At this point he has a homerun per flyball % of 39.4%. The league average is around 11%. And it has been statistically shown that a pitcher does not control the HR per flyball percentage so this should normalize and Boof will be a quality pitcher.
