Is Clay Buchholz a bust or does he just have worse luck than Jon Gosselin? He is 1-3 on the season with a 4.45 era, ranking him between Brian Bannister (of the Royals) and Scott Baker (of the Twins) among American League pitchers.
I know what youre thinking: between who and who? How did Clay Buchholz, Theo Epsteins boy wonder, end up anywhere near those two in era?
Well in his last two starts, Buchholz has faced Justin Verlander and C Sabathia and the Red Sox were shut out in each of those games.
So is Buchholz just an unlucky guy? Well, you don’t hear elite pitchers in the league talk about how pitching matchups are to blame for their numbers. Time will tell with Buchholz.
I can tell you this, in his personal life, Clay Buchholz is a lucky bastard. He and his girlfriend Lindsay Clubine (a model on Deal Or No Deal) recently got engaged and their wedding is taking place at Trump National Golf Club in Los Angeles this November, which is owned by none other than Donald Trump.
I wonder if his Buchholz is getting too “hollywood.” Maybe if he spent as much time working on his change up as he does mingling with celebrities like Lindsay Clubine, Donald Trump and Howie Mandel he’d have an era under 4.
