2014 Miguel Gonzalez Today

[George Zuverink]

Did he have an extra day of rest before this start? His last start was 7/5. It sure seems to me that he and Chen often go deeper with better results when they do have an extra day. Has anyone run the numbers?

Another classic Gonzo outing. Huge. No bullpen for you, Gonzo.

Enormous. He does not get rattled. Hundley deserves big ups.

Thanks for the facts.

Thanks for the research, Frobby. You've confirmed an impression that has been growing stronger over the past two years. I'd bet their average numbers of innings per start were significantly greater, also. The numbers are large enough that those differences are statistically significant. I wonder if Tillman, Ubaldo, and Norris benefit as much from an "extra" day of rest. My impression is that they don't. Does Buck manage the rotation so that Gonzo and Chen get the extra day of rest more frequently? If not, it seems like he should.

Fantastic start by Gonzo.

And that slider to Trout wasn't that bad of a pitch. At first I thought it was a hanger. But then watching it again, it was tailing off to the outside part of the plate. Got Trout a little leaning...but he's strong enough that he flicked it over the RF wall.

He's been tremendous over the past three starts.

Another good game.

Gonzo is so underappreciated. Great start tonight.

[El Gordo]

Sadly I doubt he gets appreciated. They aren't sending Ubaldo to the pen. Oh well the better he pitches the higher his trade value.

He is very much appreciated by the team, IMO. A lot of fans might sell him short, but Dan and Buck know his value.

Ubaldo isn't back healthy and off the DL yet.

I don't think they are going to rush him through rehab.

[Reboulet'sStache]

He came up small for us tonight.
