Tommy Hunter Tonight

[Frobby]

Big night for Hunter.

So which Hunter do the O's get?

The one that pitched a 7 inning shutout against the Twins or the one that has allowed 12 earned runs in his last two starts?

Drum roll.

Are the Twins batting? If not, then I wouldn't expect that outcome.

Based on his record I'd say Hunter is better than he's pitched the last 2 starts.

I better not hear the radio guys refer to him as Tommy "Big Game" Hunter. I hate that nickname and I hope it goes away.

That Twins offense hasn't been so bad since we played them, Frank. In a 4-game split with the Yankees in the Bronx, they scored 7 runs, 6 runs, 6 runs, and 3 runs in the series. In a 3-game set against the Angels, they scored 10 runs, 6 runs, and 1 run.

On the other hand, the Rangers and the D-Rays shut them down pretty well in 5 of the 6 games that they played against them.

I know. But Toronto is a much better offensive team than the Twins, and they hit 4 homers off Hunter last week.

Hunter is going to do a better job keeping the ball in the park (FB down) and be more effective with his changeup and curveball. I'm still bullish on Tommy, but like any pitcher it's a matter of executing more good pitches and less bad ones. Go Tommy.

Is there any chance we could get a mod to change the title of these threads from "Player X tonight" to "Player X performance thread" or something to that effect? It is a super minor thing but when I hop on the forum and see that there are 80+ posts it makes me think I missed a no-hitter or something.

Aside a high pitch count, he got through 6...gave our offense a chance to win him this game for sure! Well done Tommy!!

[Roll Tide]

Nice start ...would like to see him go deeper. But who's going to complain with it.

With the exception of Eric Thames' solo-home run, not a single Blue Jay reached second base against Tommy tonight.

These threads shouldn't be pulled up again everytime the guy pitches, start a new thread. Most of this thread is not on "Tommy Hunter Tonight".
