Before today’s post gets started, I wanted to pass along some information regarding my posts next week. My vacation time begins Saturday morning June 24th. Flying out at noon.

Therefore My final post before vacation begins will be Friday morning June 23rd. In years past, I’ve taken only a week off, However, in order to take advantage of the July 4th weekend, I’ll be returning Monday July 3rd, and will resume my daily posts on Tuesday July 4th (which will be Monday’s games). Keep following the site, as Jim’s Pitcher Performance posts will continue to roll along. Thanks for your patience and understanding and keep an eye out on those box scores. Also feel free to send along any hitter lines of note.
