July 11, 200817 yr Nice start so far, I hope its the same for Volstad, though him pulling an Andrew Miller during his 1st couple of starts seem likely.
July 11, 200817 yr I just want to see five innings and he's in one piece when he's done. :clapping Got your wish. And mine. Would liked to have seen 6 innings with that pitch count, but I'm not complaining a bit. He's still two or three starts away from being back to form. And that ain't bad.
July 11, 200817 yr Despite some mistakes along the way, I was very encouraged by his performance. Encouraged is an apt word here.
July 11, 200817 yr that was perfectly fine with me. No walks. Threw 1st pitch strikes. Struck out 5 of first 6 batters he faced. Fastball at 96?! :o Giggity giggity. I absolutely loved the way he pitched in '06 and last night there were signs that he could be even better.
July 11, 200817 yr I thought josh looked awsome. He was dominating early on. I would like to have seen more command of the slider, it will come with more starts though. But man the 2 seamer he had goin was makin batters look foolish.
July 11, 200817 yr Don't forget he also had that nice clutch hit in there as well. He look great on the mound, went after each hitter. The only bad spot was the 3rd with those base hits to LF & all the SBs.
