Wow, his ERA is higher than Jaimie Walkers after 4 IP? How can you make a serious judgement with such a small sample size? The kid obviously has talent, all the runs he has allowed were self inflicted, walks and wild pitches. He is also kbnown as having decent control, so its easy to tell this is just nerves. Give him a bit of time to get acclimated to the pros. Most HS pitchers initially struggle making this jump from HS to the pros. If you cannot see his potential, I dont honestly know why you would even read or post in the minors forum...There is something you arent seeing here....For this kid to be as developed as he is at the age of 18, imagine where he will be once he gets 2 or 3 developmental years under his belt.

Read the Rowell thread. Then Big Mac's post will make sense.

Hobgood's ERA is higher than Jamie Walker's, are threads like this really neccessary?

He has accomplished nothing so far in pro ball yet he is being treated as the "savior" of this organization.

We should all take a step back and re-review what marvels us.

:rolleyes:

Ahhhhh, sorry Big Mac, didnt realize that was PBR's ignorance. It threw me off guard at 1st though.....But that Rowell thread is just ridiculous.....

No more cross-thread sub-referencing. This #$%* is hard enough to follow as it is. ;)

No kidding! I have a hard enough time connecting the dots! :eektf:

I think Big Mac is just kidding as he has been pretty supportive of Hobgood. He's just throwing PBR Street Gangs words from an earlier convo back at him to make a point.

BTW, I love your signature line, Lucky Jim!! (I am in 4th place. I am clearly smarter than the knuckledraggers behind me, but that isn't much to brag about. I hope to one day be as smart as a box of hair.) Cracks me up every time I read it!

      Do we know what his velocity was today? I know he doesn't light up the gun but was he at his normal?

      Longterm he’s probably that missing RH SU/MR that we’ve been looking for since the Fuji trade.  It’s probably Suarez vs Ramírez vs Tate for 1-2 bullpen spots. Wells and one of Irvin/Means could be in the bullpen mix as well.  Depth is good to have. I wouldn’t sleep on Ramirez either. Elias has shown a knack from adding relievers through trade or waivers.

      There's not a single high level prospect on the team he pitched against tonight and even the one out he got was crushed

      Let’s tap the brakes on his move to the bullpen. His stuff plays and he can get outs. Best of all, he doesn’t walk anyone. He challenges hitters and gets weak contact. With our defense, I’d rather him give up the occasional double or flared hit to the outfield than to see walks. Keep him in the starting rotation until he proves he doesn’t belong. Wells and Irvin both have experience in the pen and frankly for Irvin, though I love him, has a real tough time throwing strikes at times.    anyway, let’s see what the old dog can do.

      I could see Suarez sticking in a bullpen role long term with the movement on his fastball. Also he might be able to throw a 2 to 3 more MPH harder not having to worry about trying to pitch six innings. The Orioles have done a good job finding pitchers who weren't expected to do much in recent years and it would be cool if Suarez is another find.

      I mean, heres where we really find out if Holliday is cut out for the majors and if he has the character to fight through major adversity right off the bat right?  Saw a good point that there was a guy previously that started 4 of 55, and that was ole #8.  Mike Trout didnt get his batting average up to .200 until May 31st of his first season.  Ideal? Absolutely not.  But when the franchises all-time hits leader started with the same slump its something to pay attention to.
