QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 16, 2015 -> 04:54 AM) Do you not think his stuff is ready? Slider is all world. Fastball is above average but he needs to be able to throw it for strikes. I don't think he will ever be a big changeup thrower.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 16, 2015 -> 04:50 AM) You seemed fine with it when he was cruising through 3. He hung one slider and paid the price. I have been saying they rushed him since they called him up. Just didn't make sense from a development stage. I was happy they only kept him in the bullpen for a few weeks.

QUOTE (raBBit @ May 16, 2015 -> 03:49 AM) He had two starts and two walks in each. There was an exhibition game where they said he couldn't throw strikes.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ May 16, 2015 -> 04:47 AM) 6IP last game. That homer f***ed him up tonight, he was cruising until then. He needs to understand his stuff is good enough to challenge teams He got away from his slider, and then started hanging it

I will never understand why they rushed him this year. He was struggling to throw strikes in a few of his Charlotte outings (one exhibition included)

This command has no prayer of consistently working at this level

His command is atrocious...not going to give him much of a chance to go longer than 5 innings most games.

Hahn just dominating now

0-5, 2K for Anderson His average looks decent, but it's been a disappointing offensive season for him.

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ May 16, 2015 -> 03:35 AM) Only saw it once but should Avi have left that get to the wall? Probably not, but I doubt it would have mattered. He's so incredibly slow out there.

Can't walk so many guys at this level. He really needs to be in AAA to work on his command.

Big K! Got to get one more

Pathetic...this pitch selection is crazy

QUOTE (Dunt @ May 16, 2015 -> 03:25 AM) Rodon has less than desirable control He has better command of his slider than fastball.

Ugh, terrible pitch selection. Too worried about the base runner.

Calling for way too many fastballs this inning.

He's missing arm side on so many fastballs.

What a dumb pitch call. Can't keep throwing fastballs to the guys from the trade that can't hit the slider.

Slider!

LaRoche makes that play, most likely

Alexei has lost a few steps

There's going to be a billion scouts at the Samardzija/Kazmir game on Sunday

Hernandez missing a ton of pitches already.

Ugh, bad defense already. No reason for Conor to be out of control like that with Butler running.

Oh yay, this idiot is the home plate umpire tonight.
