4 IP...1 hit, 2 bb's, 4 k's..no runs

66 pitches...40 for strikes..60.6% thus far.

You would like to see the pitch count down a little bit but Norfolk has made an error, so not sure how that hurt him.(i see now that it was Hill's own error on a pickoff...so, shouldn't have impacted things in terms of pitch count)

Also, you would like to see the strike % round 62 or 63% but its close.

Let's see how he finishes up...Should be able to go another 2 innings unless he has a rough 5th inning.

He is now through 5 IP...64% strike % now...6 ks, 2 BB..still 1 hit.

Seems like they are fouling a lot of pitches off.

Keep in mind that it is like 47 degrees in Buffalo today...that will effect his curve and not make it as sharp.

    • So you think Elias will give up one of the top 3 prospects to get upgrades?
    • “Dramatics”? That’s an interesting way of framing my opinion. I promise you I am as calm and cool as a cucumber. There’s no “dramatics” going on here. As you know, numbers fluctuate during any given period of time in the season. Good/great players have bad/cold stretches and bad/terrible players have good stretches. IMO we do not possess the type of top end talent at the back end of the bullpen needed to win multiple rounds against the best opposition in October.  If you are confident in Cano/Kimbrel or worse in Vespi/Baker/Perez/etc getting Soto and Judge out in a big spot late in the game in Yankee stadium in October, that is fine. I am not.  Just as an observer of baseball, Holmes is a much better pitcher than any reliever that we have. I would be much more confident in his talent than any reliever that we have. Now if we had Felix that would be one thing. But this season we do not. And I would hate for a team as good as ours to be held back by not making the needed/necessary move(s) before we get into October.  IMO we did that last season (with the starting pitching) and it didn’t end well. And I acknowledge that everybody doesn’t think like me nor have the same championship expectations/aspirations. Some fans/posters here have stated as much and that they are happy if we have a winning team year after year or if we just make it into the tournament year after year, regardless of results when we get there. And that’s fine. That’s just not my desired outcome. The great thing about this board is that we don’t have to agree and are able to express our opinions.
    • That’s right. Great times are here and more ahead with this group. 
    • Over/under on the number of times we walk Judge and Soto in this series?   10?  Nobody else really worries me.  
    • 2 days in a row we got some help from the RedSox
    • I'm going to need photographic evidence the head cheerleader is hot.  This is a totally scholastic endeavor.
