caulfield12 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Cooper was trying to let him learn a lesson by getting his brains beaten in before going out there...seems like this is what Steve Stone was suggesting was going to be a rough adjustment period going throw thrower to pitcher. At least the loss is helping our draft positioning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Hindsight is 20/20, but clear in retrospect that the mixture of his stuff being off and the delay was not going to go well. Had to give it a shot, though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Not too often you go from a 0.82 ERA (1/11 IP) to a 5.02 ERA (assuming the relief corps lets another run in, 8/14.3) in the span of one start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Cooper has one more year to get things turned around and going in the right direction...you would hope they would make a change with both him and Renteria if we don't at least end up in the 73-77 win zone next year. Ah, forget it, Cooper has a lifetime contract, it's like being a fan of Iowa football and thinking there will ever be pressure to replace Kirk Ferentz or at least have a 21st century offensive approach. Amazing how coaches can live forever off past successes (see KW as well). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because MLB hitters are better than minor league hitters and the precision of the command needs to be better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides with the talent he's had lately would you really expect anything different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Allen Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I can’t believe the ultimate plan is to have this guy sit at 93-95 when he’s got what he’s got. It has to be an issue where he isn’t used to still pitching or making as many starts. Coopers biggest success story was Matt Thornton who he turned around in one bullpen session. He didn’t have him throw 93-94. When Father Time made his velocity disappear, he became meat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
