He's had a real nice start to the year at AAA. If his stuff has in fact recovered to pre-TJ levels, and he gets even close to the command he had, he's got a legitimate three-pitch mix. The early results in Indy are encouraging, but we shall see.

If he pitches well, I'd strongly consider giving him an extended look in what is currently Brault's rotation spot.

Its gonna be hard to send down Kingham after today.

Its nice to have a young and crowded rotation.

Oh that slider of Kingham's is good.

Glasnow added a slider, too, and it looks fantastic.

The young arms took longer to contribute than expected, but it looks like they might be starting to.

Oh, and 17-11 after that sweep. :)

Not even close to being able to compete with one of the Moneybags teams.

If my wife wasn't a big fan, I'd go back to ignoring the MLB until a salary cap is implemented.

I'm with you. I'm no longer a fan of baseball. I only follow the Pirates and that's getting harder and harder to do anymore!!!

Pictures? :noidea:

Actually not sure they have much more s**t to hopefully stick to the wall in the bullpen.

At this point I'd think Glasnow should be above him in the long relief/spot start line. I'm not getting my hopes up yet but he looks like a different guy save really that Nats game.

Aside from that last appearance, he's actually looked pretty good in relief. I think he could turn into a Tony Watson type. His arsenal and command are not dissimilar from Watson's. His changeup isn't as good, but his fastball might be better.

1-3 against the lowly Padres. Had high hopes that they could go at least 3-1 against them, and then take the Reds to town as well. Guess not.
