In your opinion how many stars should that catch have been? -
The panic button should be reserved for the bullpen if they keep up the pace in the past 10 days or so.

Sure, maybe. I'm not going to say it's out of the question that a guy who had UCL issues and is lucky to be pitching at all is confident going max effort.

Let’s see how Irvin pitches tonight. If he throws a stinker, I’m going with Bradish. If he throws a good game, then I need to think about it harder. -

It's interesting (to me, anyway) that while we hear a lot -- especially around the Hollidays -- about the huge gap between the pitching faced in AAA and in the majors, necessitating for many guys who dominate AAA pitching a lengthy period of adjustment when they're promoted, much less is said about the difference in pitching to AAA hitters and big leaguers. (When it comes up it seems like it's often a matter of hitters' discipline: a pitcher who walks a lot of AAA batters may walk a lot more in the majors.) I get the impression that scouts and analysts believe they can, by studying film and by and measuring the speed of pitches, the amount of the break, pitch location (including throwing strikes and working the edge of the zone), spin rates, etc., together with seeing how successful a pitcher is against AAA hitters, can assess from a pitcher's AAA performance how he'll do against ML hitters. Is that true, and if so are they right? -
No, he had two VERY GOOD outings out of three. 4/16: 3 IP 1 H 0 R 0 BB 4 K’s 4/21: 3.1 IP, 4 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 4 K’s 4/26; 5.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K’s And tell me, why would a 16-9 team be pushing the panic button?
