caulfield12 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) Gavin needs to get on one of his patented 4-6 week hot streaks where he dominates and his curveball is a thing of beauty. If we actually want to get back into this thing, we can't do it with Gavin pitching like a fifth starter in our rotation from 2001-2004. He has looked more like Jason Grilli than Gavin Floyd of recent vintage. Maybe the warming weather (up until this homestand) will help, as it has with SOME of our hitters like Alexei.

scenario Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Gavin is starting out just like last year. Pitched poorly until mid-May. Then he pitched great for the next 3 months. Hopefully, he turns that corner soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) The wish of Teahen and Vizquel on the bench has been granted. We'll see how it works out. Romero trifled with us last time. Eveland has gotten us twice already, so let's hope we can solve Romero and get the split and take some momentum into Minnesota.

Romero was pitching OUT OF HIS MIND last time. I don't see that happening again. Although, we're not exactly kings of adjustment. We'll see.

caulfield12 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Great start for Floyd, 2 K's to pick up where Peavy left off. If he can get that curve over, he's always going to be dangerous out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodgrief34 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Great start for Gavin throwing 93-95, and showing signs of getting the curve ball over early. Now lets put a crooked number up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 FWIW, we've done a great job of controlling Hill and Lind this series. Another weak GO on the infield. Thanks for the surprise, Juancito. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 (edited) Against a LHP with a great throwing catcher, there's really no reason for Pierre to be playing. Ho hum, another Beckham K. Edited May 9, 2010 by fathom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't scoring more than 1 or 2 against Romero, so we better hope he dominates. Romero's extremely impressive, I have no idea how people get good swings against him.

caulfield12 Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Rios with a really bad read on that ball. One of his few misplays of the season. The time has come to seriously think about Gordon going to Charlotte, I'm afraid. Just think it might be the best thing for him in the long-term. Not sure he can get his confidence back at the big league level...although I am sure Ozzie/KW will give him the benefit of the doubt, 2 more weeks at least.
