Guy I’m most excited about watching in the rotation this year.

Of course, out of the gate he’s up against Cole.

Got the short straw with Cole but I'm less worried about him pitching against the Yankees than I am our lineup hitting Cole.

This is the business he's chosen. 

[Frobby]

I don’t think a pitcher should concern himself with who the opposing pitcher is.    Just go out there and handle the opposing team’s lineup as best as you possibly can, and let the chips fall where they may.   In case anyone’s forgotten, we won an Akin - Cole matchup last September, though Akin didn’t get the decision.  

[Il BuonO]

That’ll teach me to have expectations. Very disappointing.

[Aristotelian]

Stuff was pretty good, command wasn't great. Threw a lot of first pitch CB but FB command wasn't there. Did not make a lot of mistakes in the zone but nibbled too much.

77% of the outs that Kremer recorded (7 out of 9) came via the Strikeout and the Groundout. Other than that he threw lots of pitches, walked too many batters, and didn't eat enough innings.

 

 

9 OUTS: )  5 Strikeouts, 2 Groundouts, 1 Popout, 1 Flyout

Kremer struggled throwing strikes last year as well.  That’s what it’s all about for him.

Fastball command will probably determine if he’s a starter or reliever.

[Just Regular]

Palmer commented how fatigued he looked in the 4th, but I guess that kind of tracks between burning a lot of gas to work out of the 1st inning jam, and whatever nasty bruise from the Judge beeline maybe starting to affect one of the gears in the mechanism an hour later.

[glenn__davis]

Yeah, I'm not super high on him, but certainly looking forward to at least running him out there and seeing how he looks for most of the season.

 

[O-The-Memories]

Give him some time, he has talent and proved that he can be an effective starter when he is pitching well. If he doesn't pan out it will really hurt, because it will make it even more likely that we didn't receive much of a return from our firesale of talent.

I think the firesale was largely a bust, and thought so at the time as well.  I think it was more important in symbolism/change of philosophy than it was in bringing in meaningful talent.

[Moose Milligan]

It's going to come down to his command.  And he's got good stuff.  I'm not sure if he doesn't have command or if he tries to nibble.  I feel like there's a lot of upside for him if he can reach his potential.
