Libelula Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBurque Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 It's nice to see him doing well. So well that I picked him up on my fantasy team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarlinsFans46 Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 It was great to watch him pitch when he was in Portland - a good player and a good guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarlinsMY Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 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.

SlapHands69 Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 Ditto! I hope he makes the headlines down there in Detroit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libelula Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamrock Posted May 21, 2004 Share Posted May 21, 2004 Isnt half of that "vaunted" lineup on the DL though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 22, 2004 Share Posted May 22, 2004 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libelula Posted June 13, 2004 Author Share Posted June 13, 2004 Great outing by Nate Robertson tonight against his former team. Dude had potential! ERA is under 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 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* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Libelula Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 Nate has made his first post-season. GO GET 'EM NATE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 ...and he'll start game 1 in Yankee Stadium against an All-Star lineup. You're right, go get 'em Nate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libelula Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeLowell25 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Agreed, hopefully he can, surprised to see Bonderman be game 4 starter, but hopefully he'll come up big in gm 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libelula Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Holy crap, terrible outing by Nate. Hopefully the Tigers bounce back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
