Whoa. He's finally crossing that magical 2:1 K/BB ratio and striking out more than 3-6 per nine. Damn. 1.21 HR/9. Devastating. Thirty-two hits in a little over 37 innings. Incredible. I think we may need a thesauras to keep describing the awesomeness of Jeff Samardjiza as an Iowa Cub.
The only thing that would scare me more than Samardzija becoming the second greatest relief pitcher ever (next to Carlos Marmol) is Tyler Colvin getting called up tomorrow and hitting 20 home runs over the final two months.
You're forgetting a crucial factor, that Samardzija frightens hitters into submission by simply not wearing a mask on the mound. That alone guarantees him a Julian Tavarez career at the very worst.

It's kinda hard not to have a farmer's tan when you play baseball. But jeez, I thought we all came to the agreement that trucker hates were lame. I guess not.
