Spencer Watkins 2022

[Snutchy]

I guess it's safe to start this thread now. He's earned himself another start.

He's not awful. He's not that good. 

He lacks an out pitch.

He made some good pitches tonight, but we all know he shouldn't be in a ML rotation. Hopefully other options push him out soon.

He’s pretty awful.

Give him credit where it’s due.   That was a good outing from him last night.

Great outing against a bad lineup, but a great outing nonetheless. Pitching to contact and he got out of there before the defense went to sleep, fortunately for him. 

[Aristotelian]

Made it through five innings which is an achievement for this team. Had a few balls in the 5th that the A's got good swings on despite outs, I think they were hanging curves or sliders in the zone. Some of those could have been hit a long way by a better team. So far so good, seems like a decent guy to have around.

Nice outing from Watkins last night. 

There seems to be a team-wide effort this year to be more selective as hitters and attack the zone more as pitchers.

The CJ Wilson reply, lol.

Someone to hold down the rotation until Grayson and Bradish are ready.

[Big Mac]

He got good results last night for sure, credit to him for pitching 5 strong innings.  The 4BB to 2SO in 8 IP spells future trouble though.

And don't  make him field a ball.

Good start.   Fighting to stay in the rotation.

Trout is such a beast.   22 homers against the O’s in 60 games.  Thank goodness we don’t see him more often.

Gleyber Torres is unimpressed.
