Hopefully this first start goes much better than the other first start.

Huh? Its only W-S's 2nd game of the season, how could Poreda have had a previous start? MILB says he's yet to pitch this year.

I think you misread it, maybe he meant last year's first start for Poreda was bad.

Poreda has already started once this year.

I believe Poreda had a start in which he was getting rocked that got postponed.

Poreda gave up like 4 runs in 2 innings... but then the game was called due to Rain.

Life is full of second 1st chances.

He's gone 3 innings, 2 runs, 1 earned tonight. He's also allowed 8 baserunners with 1 K so far.

He started a game against Kinston and had trouble getting the ball over the plate.

 

In the 3rd inning, Kinston was up 3-0 and had the bases loaded with nobody out... and the power went out.

 

They ended up suspending the game until the next day.

 

So... yes, Poreda has had a start this year already... and wasn't impressive.

 

Let's hope he's looks better tonight.

8 baserunners in 3 IP with 1 K? Yikes, he's not adjusting well.

I'll be happy if Poreda can be a stud set-up man. I like that he's starting so he can work on multiple pitches, but his future has to be in the bullpen.

Another great outing for Anthony Carter in Kannapolis.

 

6 innings; 7 strikeouts; 0 walks; gave up one run on 4-hits.

 

Kanny up 3-1 in the 8th.

 

Logan Johnson continues to be red hot. 2 for 3 so far tonight. Batting .444 since he's been starting.

Poreda finished strong, going 5-2, 1 earned.

If anyone wants to look it up...how many hits, how many walks for Poreda? I'm kinda busy and lazy

 

Fark you guys...no more baserunners after that though. That's nice to see.

I think it's way too early to say not adjusting. Has he even entered the adjustment period? He had 2 innings before this start.

Yeah, its kind of tough to say that with guys like Poreda and Miranda who are 21 and jumped from Rookie ball last year to High A this year. Give them a little time.

 

I'm interested in Broadway's performance. He might have an opportunity if Masset or Danks struggle. I'm not rooting for that, but I'm paying attention just in case.
