Is anyone else happy for the guy? 2 years ago our season was over and we brought him and Justin Wayne up. They both looked "Ok" and we held on to Wayne and eventually traded Robertson to the Tigers for Redman.

 

Last year, Detroit brought him in late and he only started 8 games, but was actually decent despite the team. He had an 8 K game too.

 

This year, it looks like he's put it all together and is 1-0 with 30 K's in just 22 innings. He also has a nice 2.78 ERA. I remember hearing a story on him two years ago that he was a Fish fan and bought tickets to the '97 World Series and went to some season openers. His dream was to pitch for the Fish and he did. Despite looking AWFUL 2 years ago, he was happy.

 

Now he's lookin' real good in Detroit.

 

ONE OF THOSE FEEL GOOD STORIES!

I liked the kid and am happy for him.

Always liked the kid and I wish him the best ... same with Gary Knotts

It's nice to see him doing well. So well that I picked him up on my fantasy team.

It was great to watch him pitch when he was in Portland - a good player and a good guy.

Good job Nate. Keep it up.

It was great to watch him pitch when he was in Portland - a good player and a good guy.

It definitely was - and he did a lot in the community. Once, when the Sea Dogs had an off day, he decided to visit the radio station that he listened to whenever the team was in Portland. He wasn't scheduled to appear or anything, but he wanted to meet them and see if there was anything he could do for them. This station was WMSJ, the same Christian station that MarlinsFans46 and I now volunteer for (on their TV show though). I thought it was very cool of him to take the time on his day off to come in and make himself available. :thumbup I'm glad he's doing well this season.

Ditto! I hope he makes the headlines down there in Detroit.

Almost a month later, Nate Robertson now has an above 5 ERA, and he's 2-3.

But he does rank in the top 5 in K's in the AL so that's good.

 

Next start is tonight. GO NATE!

Nate has had a couple of off games vs the Anaheim Angels. That lineup will rough you up unless you bring your stuff. He is filled with potential. Hopefully the Tigers can hold on to him in the future.

Isnt half of that "vaunted" lineup on the DL though?

Well, yeah, but we won't count that :shifty

 

Nate pitched a heck of a game tonight, shutout in 7 1/3 against the Mariners, Tigers win 5-0.

Great outing by Nate Robertson tonight against his former team.

 

Dude had potential! ERA is under 4.

And he's one of the tops in the league in K's. He looks like he has a great future, as well as Bonderman and perhaps *cough* Maroth *cough*

Dombrowski = genius

DD is great at grooming young pitchers.

Nate has made his first post-season.

 

GO GET 'EM NATE!

...and he'll start game 1 in Yankee Stadium against an All-Star lineup.

 

You're right, go get 'em Nate.

For real? Nate is pitching Game 1? Well in his only start at Yankee Stadium this year he pitched 7 innings and only gave up 2 runs so hopefully he can copy that.

Agreed, hopefully he can, surprised to see Bonderman be game 4 starter, but hopefully he'll come up big in gm 4.

Holy crap, terrible outing by Nate. Hopefully the Tigers bounce back.

HOORAY NATE WOO!
