toon88 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 just watched him pitch for the 1st time. this kid has a filthy, filthy slider. when he gets ahead of batters, they may as well just not swing and hope for a walk. when you are seeing 98 mph fastballs, then this kid throws a 87 mph slider, you have about a zero chance to hit it. this kid's slider is unreal.

Bugg Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Almost there...DONE! Don't understand-Mo pitched 2 innings yesterday. Why not keep Joba in there? Torre strikes again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowJet35 Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 Can someone tell me what happened with the play at the plate? Jeter hit a soft chopper to the first base side of the mound. The pitcher couldn't handle it Melky was off at the crack of the bat 2nd basemen couldn't throw out Melky Catcher Ramon Hernandez knew it, didn't bother catching the throw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFJF Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 The dude has great stuff....it's going to be fun watching him and Hughes develop. As with most young "phenoms" it's going to come down to how the league adjusts to him and then how he adjusts to the league. He should be great his first time though...then we'll see what he's made of the second time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonEJet Posted August 14, 2007 Share Posted August 14, 2007 He sort of reminds me of Mo in 1995 just coming up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shutout Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 So is the long term plan still to have Joba in the rotation? Or are they now possibly looking at him as Mo's eventual replacement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxman Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 He sort of reminds me of Mo in 1995 just coming up The best thing Buck Showalter did was make Mariano a reliever that year. He was giving up too many long balls if I remember correctly as a starter and didn't pitch all that well. I remember him pitching a bit in the Mariners series though. In 1996 he should have won the MVP. The wouldn't have made the postseason without him. It seemed like he was pitching 2 innings every damn day. Nobody was complaining about Joe overusing the pen back then! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
