CHRIS Verified Member Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 Mexico got knocked out today in devastating fashion. Give him a break. Yes, but Costa Rica won, so it's a wash, right?
burlingtonbandit Old-Timey Member Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 It depends what his development is. If he is only allowed throwing certain pitches and not others... then leave him down there. If he is currently allowed to throw what he wants and his command is good. Then let him come up for a spot start. I see nothing wrong with that. People seem to think that if he were to come up... and god forbid a mlb player gets a hit off him, he will just curl up and die. Henderson Alverez was fine when he pitched his first time up..... if he had even an iota of a secondary offering he would have dominating. I think Norris has that. Even if he comes up and gets hits hard. He knows what he has to work on. I think it would be great if he came up. Just not sure that at this point he would be a huge upgrade over any of the 5. The thing is you don't want him coming up for a spot start if he's not up here to stay. It starts his clock and wastes an option. AKA Nolin last year.
TheHurl Site Manager Posted June 30, 2014 Posted June 30, 2014 if it weren't for the fact that he only pitched 90 innings last year I'd have no issue with this. But you can't bring him up, have him pitch well and then shut him down after 60 innings. Plus we could bring back the Clearly Rushed hashtag.
