Texas vs The Tribe

[darrylgann]

I was more concerned with the 8 hits, only 2 of the runs he gave up were earned runs

Yeah, I took note of that

I'm sorry. I thought you meant in the future. I doubt Robertson will be on the team next year. I have no problem with platooning him this year. I hope we upgrade considerably in the OF next year.


Edit: Rev kinda beat me to it.

It's not like I'm high, or even close, on Robertson. It's a season of experimentation and like I said, maybe it make Martin take note.

Really don't see Robertson as any type of long term answer for this team. In fact, it would shock me if he were one of the 40 for 2015.

 

[RevSader]

Okay get a 1-2-3 Roman.

 

[Bmurph]

No, but MIK has been great.

Good for him he needed a good start to give him something to build on, he should have earned another one with this start.

 

[Justinkm83]

Haven't heard much about Andrew Faulkner, but he was recently called up from MB after going 10-1 w/ a 2.07 ERA. He's made 2 starts for Frisco and has thrown 5 scoreless IP tonight only giving up 3 hits, and has a 1.80 ERA.

 

[donaldson79]

I hope that Choice makes great strides next season and proves he can play everyday.

It is ironic you mention MC b/c I looked him up about 2 hours ago just to see how he was doing. He's hitting .253 (I think) and has TWO HR with 9 RBI.

I hope we didn't totally destroy this kid's confidence level.

My guess is this guy is going to get a bunch of starts before this season ends. His upside is just too high, and our needs are so huge for 2015, we've gotta see who can step up.

 

[Bmurph]

Yeah, I took note of that

I checked in on his start this morning, tough to know how it really looked just from the box score was what I told myself. Could have been better or worse depending on the official scoring the game and other factors as i know you are aware. I have been checking in on RR and like what I see from Rua

 

[RevSader]

That's just embarrassing for a catcher.

I mentioned on the last page that he's been hitting .259 and that's up from a few weeks ago. I hope with a clean slate next year he will show progress. Hopefully with a new hitting coach!

 

[RevSader]

6ip 2h 1er 0bb 5k 71p(41s) for Robbie Ross per Tepid P.

 

[Bmurph]

6ip 2h 1er 0bb 5k 71p(41s) for Robbie Ross per Tepid P.

certainly making progress

 

[Justinkm83]

6ip 2h 1er 0bb 5k 71p(41s) for Robbie Ross per Tepid P.

Yeah and it dropped his ERA all the way down to 5.12. I guess it's a start.

 

[donaldson79]

On another uplifting note, Josh Hamilton is 0-3 with 3 Ks.

 

[RevSader]

Yeah and it dropped his ERA all the way down to 5.12. I guess it's a start.

Never really worried about AAA ERA. Just learn to pitch!

 

[RevSader]

On another uplifting note, Josh Hamilton is 0-3 with 3 Ks.

I forget he exists until people mention him. That's how far he's off my radar.

 

[Bmurph]

Yeah and it dropped his ERA all the way down to 5.12. I guess it's a start.

He had the one really bad start where he gave up like 13 runs or something crazy that ballooned his ERA

 

[Justinkm83]

Never really worried about AAA ERA. Just learn to pitch!

I get that, but without being able to watch many of the games all I can do is look at stats, and reports.

 

[Bmurph]

Martin has no clue, he needs to go down to AAA if you want to send him a message. You are going down until you figure out how to handle the bat, ands won't be back up until you learn some discipline
