2010 First round pick Drew Pomeranz certainly showed up for his pro debut. The 6'5" left-hander threw a hitless 4th inning, surrendering a walk and fanning a pair.
Starter Justin Masterson did not fare so well, allowing 2 ER, 2 H, & 3 BB over his 2 innings. He also hit a guy. Afterward, Masterson said that he was satisfied with his performance. I am not.
OF Travis Buck, off to a great start in his push for utility outfielder spot, added another hit and another RBI. After a 1-for-3 day, Buck is hitting a robust .625.
Confirmed pitchers for 03.03: Mitch Talbot & Josh Tomlin. That's all they'll tell me. They're also very quiet on Masterson's pitch-to-strike ratio. By them I refer to Yahoo!, MLB, PD, IPI, the Indians and every other source you can name. I was also waiting for supposed Indians blogger Jordan Bastion to post for the day. Apparently that was too much to ask. Kid's got a real tough job.
Bollocks.
Nice tribe updates E. I wouldn't have caught the laffey trade otherwise.
ReplyDeleteMasterson will be fine. Its spring training, he's probably trying shit out.
