After the rough start tonight he could have easily went psycho again like in his last starts but he hung in there and delivered one of the best performances of the year. And thanks to his perseverance the fish were just close enough to rally back and win.

he shut it down after the 2nd inning, like that he struck out 9 ppl after that.

Retired 20 of his last 26 hitters and struck out 9 after Diaz's HR.

Definitely a positive step forward in Scotty's maturation. We've got a good one on our hands.

People on this board flip flop so fast.

If that was directed towards me, thats hilarious.

More like a general observation.

 

Hey, if anyone can be accused of flipflopping, it isnt me. Especially not concerning Scotty O, as I have been saying how amazingly awesome he is for 3 years now, through the good times and the bad.

That's awesome spike. Good for you.

 

Your "general observations" are usually classic.. just don't lump me in to this beauty.

Not even a bad thing really.

 

People just get their hopes up too much and are easily disappointed, or dont give a player a chance at all and then say how impressed they are.

Olsen's outing was HUGE he gave us 8 innings that is just what the bullpen needed to get back in gear. Too bad he did't get the W

Even good outings are met with ND's and L's every now and again. It happens.

 

Lets just hope that this wasnt random and he turns into the pitcher I and others have been hoping he would be.

When he has his control, he's thorwing strikes..Simple as that.

 

But nice outting...This is the second time this year where he's looked very shaky, almost looking ripe to be pulled early and has come back with a strong outting..

He definetly had a good game adter giving up those Homers. But I would still like to see him start a game well and not have to "regain" composure. If he can learn to come out of the gates well then the possibilities are endless I think. Lots of talent there.

I'll admit, I turned into a Scotty-O basher the past two weeks, and who can blame me. He was pitching like crap! But having said that, I'm glad to see that he got the ship turned around. He was the reason we won that game the other night. That was a gutsy effort!
