Alex Cobb Once Saved a Stray Dog that was Running in Traffic

[25 Nuggets]

Just a wild guess, but I think Cobb will regress to the mean in the second half of the season.  And for his sake, that's a good thing.

[Frobby]

Truth is, he has pitched more good games than bad ones after his initial three terrible starts.   But his bad ones have really been awful.

Cobb is a funny guy.

This was his 2nd consecutive 7-inning outing.

“It was odd watching it unfold when I came out,” said Alex Cobb, who held the Braves to one run over seven innings pitched. “They're (the Braves) a good team over there. They put together a good string of productive plate appearances. I can’t really recall what took place, but I know there’s some pretty good back and forth.”

 

 

“That was cool,” Cobb said. “Just to see the joy on his (Chris Davis') face when he came in. People don’t realize the struggles, the kind of toll they take on you as a player. You want to perform so bad every night. Seeing him come up with that hit to lead off, really start the offense for us, it was just fun to see him enjoying the moment.”

 

Cobb carried a two-hit shutout into the seventh before the Braves tied the game.

“I was feeling pretty good,” he said. “It was one of those days where you throw a pitch, and the ball’s actually coming out better than it feels. I was able to really locate both sides of the plate with my fastball. Early on the change-up was working pretty good, and then that kind of went away from me later on in the game, at which point I was able to rely on the curveball.”

 

Cobb had better command of his fastball last night.

“You notice it more when you make mistakes over the middle of the plate. They’re not usually line-drive hits. They’re usually ground balls that if they don’t find somebody, they’re just right out of reach,” Cobb said.

“Getting ground balls on mistake pitches really tells me that my delivery is in line, and that the ball is coming out the right way.”

Cobb got screwed by the umpire in the 3rd inning, and it cost hime 2 runs (as well as 7 extra pitches.)

Otherwise, he had a relatively solid outing overall.

Cobb pitched a pretty good game through 6 innings, then faltered in the 7th.

He was still credited with a Quality Start (6 Innings Pitched, 3 Earned Runs), as the 4th run that scored when Marinez choked on the throw was Unearned.

Cobb leads the majors with 14 losses, and is well on his way to a 20 loss season. 

[LookitsPuck]

Cobb's last 7 games: 4.43 ERA, .258/.324/.421 - .745 OPS, 1.328 WHIP,  5.8 SO/9, 2.9 BB/9

Starting to look more Cobbish.

I thought he was decent last night.

Cobb had some pretty crappy defense playing behind him in the first 4 innings of today's game. There were 3 misplays by the infielders (2 official errors, plus 1 infield single on a playable ball that Chris Davis was unable to reel in.))

Fortunately, Cobb was able top work around all of those miscues without allowing the Yankees to plate any additional runs as a result of them.

Yeah, I figured Cobb would get better.  Now, what do do with his contract...

[Dipper9]

Cobb is gonna snap.  He's pitching well and the team is letting him down.

That said, I thought yesterday's game was perfect...

Good starting pitching.  The guys who will be here played well.  Two unearned runs due to the Davis albatross.  And we lost the game to maintain a tie for the #1 pick.  More games like this please.

I mean, he doesn't exactly have much room to talk given how bad he was for the first half of the season.
