KilloWertz 2,533 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 No Posey, no Williamson, and no Panik. I'm definitely more optimistic than I was right after Buehler's game on Tuesday. Link to post Share on other sites

The Gridiron Assassin 1,212 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 He's thrown first pitch strikes to 12 straight batters, has given up two runs, walked one and K'd 6 What are you all smoking? This kid is a stud horse in the making. Link to post Share on other sites

treat88 615 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I think this is the type of outing that both impresses managers and serves as a great learning experience. Showed both grit and a nice repertoire. Dont know if he sticks but I'm already seeing him listed as the SP for the May 3rd game. Link to post Share on other sites
BMcP 8,283 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Feel bad for you rage-droppers. But with a trigger finger like that, you should know better than to ever pick up a rookie starter! Link to post Share on other sites

These things do have away of working themselves out. Kershaw, Ryu, Wood, Maeda, Hill. There’s a ton of injury in there so even if he goes down he’ll likely be up in a few weeks. Murky situation.

Good points but the only kind of upside on my wire that even comes close to WB is Soroka of ATL and I have him stashed too on a short bench. I'll just hold, the rage droppers are putting in claims now ... Link to post Share on other sites
sandman0803 47 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Not sure about redraft leagues, but I LOVE this outing as a Dynasty owner. The big thing is he threw 5 innings, everything else is icing on the cake with the Ks and BB. He will have growing pains but man this kid could be good. Link to post Share on other sites
BMcP 8,283 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Did he? Looks like only 5. But the “icing” is the best part in this case! Link to post Share on other sites

Dirtywater97 1,070 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 Wish I was able to see more of his start. I was only able to see the first inning and 2nd, but man the dude has a filthy curve AND slider to pair with that heater. If the command continues to improve the sky is the limit for this kid.

BMcP 8,283 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 If you’re looking at him to routinely go 6 this year, I can safely say that won’t happen - not just due to his IP limit, but under the ever-vigilant gaze of Capt. Hook even Kershaw won’t do that regularly. Hurts his value in QS leagues, but if he looks like he did today, in that division/park with that offense/pen backing him, you have to hold him as a 5-6 unless you’re absolutely stacked at SP.

mthdmn 1,645 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 I'm excited for him. For next year. Link to post Share on other sites
KilloWertz 2,533 Posted April 28, 2018 Share Posted April 28, 2018 In all fairness to people who were writing this start off after the first inning in here and the Gameday thread, including me, he was wild in his first start and he was incredibly wild in the first inning as well. It really looked like this game could have been a 12-11 disaster. It's great obviously that he turned into a completely different pitcher once I had to leave. This gives hope that he might actually be ready to stick around. Link to post Share on other sites
Under500Forever 735 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 The dodgers had stripling warming up before Puig made that awesome catch in foul territory to end the 1st inning. I thought this start was going to be a disaster but he settled down after that. He threw 35 pitches in the first inning so I’m surprised he made it through 5 innings. I’m pretty sure he only gave up 2 hits in innings 2-5. He hasn’t faced any tough opponents yet but I like what I’ve seen so far. I’m not sure how much value he will have in redraft leagues this year but dynasty owners have to be excited. He won’t stick in the rotation as of now but we all know that injury bug can hit that rotation at anytime. Link to post Share on other sites
rrrrich46 214 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 Is it a forgone conclusion that he gets sent down today? Link to post Share on other sites
