Jeeez - this Petrick kid looks legit....

[Abe Frohman]

.....just dominated the side in his ML debut, hitting 96 several times. How refreshing....

[Bruno7481]

Easy there...

 

Impressive sure, but one inning only.

[E.J.]

Wow. He looked good, but it's been 1 inning. Let's get at least a couple more out of him before we judge his stuff.

[TheDude]

Remember Wellemeyer's first inning? You have to see these kids for some time to get a real idea.

[Abe Frohman]

You guys are such Cub fans! Always so optimistic!

 

His stuff looked good - not afraid to come inside with the hard stuff, and a late beaking cut fastball or slider. I like what I saw.

[Chocolate Milk]

Update?

[E.J.]

Kid just gave up a 2-run HR. Send him back down.

[Abe Frohman]

Yeah, no matter how hard you throw (hit 98 in the 8th), you can't throw a fastball down the heart of the plate to ML hitters......

And you can't give up more Runs than Hits. The walk is more upsetting than the HR.

[Ding Dong Johnson]

he's crap -- 10.80 ERA, what up with that?

[cheapseats]

Petrick for closer!

[Soriano12]

yeah, these threads really never work out for the best.

[Abe Frohman]

One has to be able to laugh at oneself.

They mentioned in the game thread that he wasn't throwing his sinker for strikes which is his biggest pitch - he does have some great stuff though. I'll watch the game when I get home but it's nice to hear that he at least did well that first inning.

 

I really hope he gets to start again in the minors.

haven't you people learned not to start threads like this in the middle of a game?

98 MPH on the Wrigley Speed gun isnt too shabby. 1 BB and 2 Ks in his debut.

 

Really like the whole challenging the hitter concept. Several others down in the pen should take a little notice.

 

Was a laser beam that got hit out. No shame in that at all.

Time for a DFA.

I learned my lesson about posting "in game" back in '94. I had Tuffy Rhodes roaming the Wrigley outfield for at least a decade!! :oops:
