Interested to see what last year's 2nd round comp pick Paul Richan does in his next couple starts. His last two have been pretty [expletive] good.

0 HRs allowed is the biggest positive for me with Richan so far. That was his bugaboo in college. Very likely that he starts allowing them again once it heats up, but here's hoping he can keep avoiding them.

I fear both Richan's and Assad's stuff won't hold up at the upper levels without good FB command, but Javier is having a night.

 

Thru 6, 1 hit, 0 runs, 1 walk, 8 Ks on just 76 pitches.

 

The Pelicans rotation is probably the worst of the 4 levels right now, but those 2 might be taking a step forward. It's early yet...

Yeah, I have my doubts on Richan and Assad and how their stuff will hold up at the upper levels as well.

 

I also dislike Assad because the name reminds me of the evil psychopath dictator (who is a horsefeathering medical doctor btw) in Syria...

?? As a freshman sure, but he gave up 6 in his last 165+ innings at school. His knocks were not having high end velocity or stuff and being hittable (183 hits in those 165 and change innings)...

 

5 HRs allowed as a Junior while playing his games in the college equivalent of the FSL. That’s not good. But if you would rather I have said “hard contact allowed”, the point remains. Guys can get by with Richan’s mediocre stuff if they can induce weak contact. As one of his most outspoken critics on here, I was really skeptical that he could ever do that as a pro. So far, he’s doing an alright job.

Those ground outs, though! The velo is back up, only 1 walk and no wild pitches! There's hope for this guy yet!

 

Now do it again...

Don't do it to yourself. Albertos will break your heart.

I'm a Cubs fan who started rooting for them in 1975. I can take it!
