Tommy Hunter Tonight

[eddie83]

I think he can be a MLB starter but I am afraid it might be in the NL West. He can't keep pitching up in the zone this much, in some regards he has been lucky this year.

People get frustrated watching Brian Matusz pitch, and I get that. But, for me, I get more frustrated by Tommy Hunter almost every time he starts. I just have no confidence that when he goes through the lineup a second time it will be without runs being scored. He had a 5-2 lead and gave it all back. That's baseball sometimes, but that doesn't mean I have to like it either.

Tommy Hunter as our long man would really help this team.

I cannot find any updates on Joel Pinero-has anyone heard anything?

[Gurgi]

We got to see if Steve Johnson can give us Tommy's innings. Minus a couple of runs.

I seriously doubt that. Everyone would be pulling for him, but I just doubt that.

Steve Johnson came out of the Tides game yesterday after 2 scoreless innings with a strained groin.

I hope it isn't too serious. He's been coming along nicely at AAA this season after getting rocked when he was promoted up there last year.

Tommy Hunter just frustrates the bejeebers out of me. The guy, for some reason, can rarely throw a strike below the belt.

I like the guy, but I think it's time to turn him into a reliever when Britton is back.

[CA-ORIOLE]

I was hoping to see Tommy develop more throwing his curveball and changeup this year. When he has tried they just haven't been effective. It looks like he's back to FB/cutter again and I don't see the change in speeds along with his command issues working very well. That said, until Britton gets back, I'm not sure I see anybody better right now to take his spot. Pretty disappointing start.

Every*.....pitch.....high.....in.....the.....zone.

*Probably not, but sure seems like it

They are! Nothing between the belt and knee.He just makes itvery easy to hit those high pitches.

It's big start tonight for Hunter with Zach breathing down his neck. We could use a great outing, 6 Inning, 5 hits, 0 BB, 0 R. You can do it, Tommy.

[LookitsPuck]

Just be careful around Jose, Edwin, and Kelly.

[oriolekid]

Or we can all pray he turns into a half decent starter and then ship him for a B prospect near the deadline, and if he continues to slump, trade him for a C+ prospect. Either way I think he'll be the guy we trade if we trade a starter.

We don't need another Eveland in the bullpen.

[LookitsPuck]

We're a slow team. Why on Earth would you double steal against a pitcher who CAN'T throw strikes? And with a team who doesn't have fast base-runners outside of Jones/Avery?

Sloppy base running all around, and with the way Tommy Hunter is pitching...this game is destined for a loss.

I've seen enough of Hunter
