It's better to get him MLB experience in a throwaway year. Just buckle up, it's going to be this way all year. There is just nothing impressive about Erik Johnson at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, see what he has with regards to being a future member of this rotation in 2016, etc. One thing that has to change immediately is his demeanor on the mound.

flavum Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Johnson may need some AAA time, especially if he's not pitching with confidence. He just doesn't have the mound presence he had last year. But when you can't throw strikes, that'll happen. Tommy Hanson threw 5 no-hit innings tonight for Charlotte. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 25, 2014 -> 07:53 PM) Cooper's doing just a wonderful job with the pitchers this year....ugh It always amazes me, if the offense is bad, or the defense is bad, it is the coaching. If the pitching is bad, they just suck. Johnson was supposed to be a stud. Why isn't anyone saying the pitching coach has failed him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the pitching is bad, they just suck. Johnson was supposed to be a stud. Why isn't anyone saying the pitching coach has failed him? Everyone always talks about Cooper stressing not overthrowing the fastball in order to get more control. Well, everyone's velocity is way down, as is the control. The pitching staff was pretty overrated last year, and now it's an absolute disaster this year. Outside of Sale, it seems like none of the pitchers have any confidence this year in their stuff.

The Ginger Kid Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I really thought Erik Johnson would be better than this. Probably be best served to go down and work on his stuff and regain some confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
