They said he was very efficent, threw tons of strikes. Man, were they right. In the middle of the 5th his pitch count was 47, with 1 hit allowed. This kid is effective. Real good movement on his fastball.

Josh, I hate you. Go away. Stop now.

Ball 4. Thank you WC.

 

Can you at least wait for either of two things:

1) player is out of the game

2) game is over

As he throws one a mile BEHIND the batter.

 

Mod, delete this?

You guys are ridiculous. Two guys get on and the world is over.

Oh come on, you've been at this four years. You know better!

Look at that, the inning is over. Stil 11-0.

 

Go eat crow.

I have to admit I am quite surprised and impressed by Mitre.

 

His fastball has excellent late life and he can back it up at times.

 

What a nice outing. Kudos to Mitre.

 

Who picked him to get the Marlins first W? Anybody?

Speaking of eating crow, where are you, Spike?

 

Ser-gi-o! How do you like him? How do you like him? Ser-gi-o! How do you like him? How do you like him?

I'm pretty impressed. He's had some terrible pitches, but overall he's been doing well.

He touched 97 on a pitch last inning, too...

The two-seam fastball is absolutely amazing. His other pitches are pretty good too. If he can have the control of the fastball he should be fine. Anyone who says he's absolute garbage doesn't know baseball.

The Cubs brutally mis-handled this guy. This outing doesn't surprise me 1 bit.

He hadn't allowed two baserunners at the same time until then, plus he lost control. Let's not tempt fate again :thumbup

Can you explain further? Just curious.

Dusty Baker = Arm Killer

Sergio looked very impressive today, threw lots of strikes and had very good movement on his pitches. Pitched shutout baseball for 6 innings, what else can we ask for. Looking forward to Moehlers and Vargas start!

They sent him up and down from MLB to AAA repeatedly. They made him pitch as a starter and reliever and switch back and forth.

Moehler will not be in the rotation long.

 

Just a feeling.

After mitre blanked us last year i knew he had the stuff. But then again Aaron heilman messed us up

Mitre always seemed to be either really on or really off last season.

is filthy

Sounds familiar.

you have quite the hard on for HIM dont ya?

Ya, Mitre is really awesome. I'm so happy he's in our rotation and I can't believe anyone would say a negative thing about him. I think he'll contend with Train for the Cy Young.
