"There have been days where I have gone 45 days without throwing, and I certainly didn't have any concerns then. I'm not concerned now."

JPA has an odd accent

I know it is disappointing we lost since the lead was given to our bullpen but it was still encouraging to see how well Nick pitched in his first MLB start.

I was thrilled with the outing. And he had to feel terrific and can use this as motivation for his future.

Will he go to RR for a while?

He's a Cuban/American and played college ball for Tennessee. Not wonder he has an odd accent.

Awe, that sucks they sent Martinez down... the kid looked pretty good yesterday. Only really made 2 bad pitches that he might have wanted back. Definitely put together a better game than Saunders.

Believe he was slated for Frisco's rotation before the season started...

I can see today being a 2-1 game... (if that).

We're just in awe

Yu looking very Darvish.

 

[terpsfball09]

What are the chances Yu gets to 3000 k's in his career?

If you're only counting MLB, it's unlikely but not impossible

"career" as in Japan + MLB?

Or MLB career?

He has 500 now (MLB).
And is 27 (28 later this year).
If he continues on his "pace"... He'll be pitching in his late 30's to achieve it.

Hard to see any pitcher pitch till they are 40...

It would pretty much mean doing what he's done over the last two years for the next 10 years. So, no significant injuries and no significant loss in abilities.

I'd say the odds are not so great.

Really? Do we really need to fucking keep Saunders that bad?

 

[Broseidon]

Cobb has a very Japanese-like hitch in his delivery. Seems like all of TBs pitchers work slow as molasses too

 

[Broseidon]

Doubt he's on the roster for 90 days.

Soon he'll be out of the rotation. Soon.

 

[Bmurph]

nasty there

not soon enough if he gets another start
