That's pretty tight. Robbie Grossman's first home run in the Majors will be forever immortalized. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Wow!

Olberholtzer has at least earned himself a few more starts IMO. He used to be a solid prospect, but has really been mediocre the last 2 years. I can't believe Bedard is still here. Peacock needs to be here, but Olberholtzer shouldn't be sent down. Good to see Dominguez busting out, he's been in a major funk. Hopefully it's the beginning of another good run.
Gotta figure he will. Maybe we go temporarily go to a 6-man rotation like the Mets are currently doing. Cosart, Bedard, Lyles, Oberholtzer, Wojo, Peacock.
His numbers have gotten progressively worse as he rose through the minors... but he does have a semblance of consistency (posting similiar back to back seasons thus far at AAA). Doesn't really have much more to prove, or disprove down in the minors... should start the rest of the season here and see what he can do.
He's done just fine... still living on all that Drayton money and only 27 years old. EDIT: Hell, his numbers look damn good when he's actually been healthy enough to pitch.
ha, was just about to post same thing... he had somehow only logged 13.1 innings in his career before 2011?? man, that's strange. he's been in our consciousness since 2004.
Why did they take Lo out of the game? Just like McHale holds back Lin, Porter is doing the same to Lo. He needs to be unleashed!
HRs seem to be the difference. Otherwise his numbers have been about the same as always. Part of moving Bedard/Harrell would have been to open space for guys like Oberholtzer to get 2 month auditions. I figured Harrell would move back into the rotation. Maybe Obie can have that spot.
It was like watching Tom Glavine, just without a 2 mile wide strikezone. Kept the ball low most of the night and really hit corners. When he has that kind of control, he can be very effective.
