Eddie Gamboa no hitter thru 7 innings

[markakis8]

Very exciting. Maybe he could be a McFarland type pitcher for us next year and if he performs well, slide him in the rotation. Possible September call up?

Good interview, thanks for posting.

(By Roch Kubatko)

[Rene88]

Woohoo! Pretty cool!

[Rene88]

Norfolk rotation is Garcia, Jurrens, Gamboa, Stinson and?

Britton and Gausman in the wings...

[Rene88]

I forgot about Wada!

[Rene88]

Yeah he got shelled last time.

[Frobby]

A guy who is learning the knuckler is going to have his bad days. It's worth moving him to Norfolk to see if his knuckler, on his good days, can get experienced hitters out. If it can, then it's just a matter of learning to be consistent with it from one start to the next, and that can be done in AAA just as easily as in AA.

[Rene88]

Just to clarify: I meant Petit got shelled. Love me some Gamboa! I am going to watch on Wed, love this guy!

[Morgan423]

Well-deserved and exciting! Will be interesting to see how his stuff plays against higher-level opponents
