May 10, 201510 yr I'll never take a win for granted. Congratulations to Rodon and I always like watching Robertson pitch, even in an 8-2 win. Damn he is a helluva pitcher.
May 10, 201510 yr Didn't watch today but he seems effectively wild. Nice to win on your debut. Keep him in rotation.

A lot of his trouble early on was missing but he had two guys struck out and didn't get the call I the first alone. His slider is truly an elite pitch.

Such a sharp bite it's like a curve. I just seen the 4BBs and assumed he was a little wild.

His slider is as good as advertised. His fastball control was a little wild but he might well have been just overthrowing things early a bit. We didn't see much, if any of the changeup, and so a legit worry will be "What happens on days when he just doesn't have the good slider working", and we know that does happen for guys. Suddenly that leaves him as a 1 pitch pitcher for the day and those days he could get hurt a bit.
