88 MPH meat ball, way behind lol.

Lol when he missed that I knew the at bat was over.

[Spanky99]

Or maybe Grienke's good?

[gruber92]

Wow, not a pitch Cavan usually swings at..

 

Got ahead of himself with a run sitting right there. He definitely has a table setter mentality.

[DigitalRock]

Two things can be right, he missed a meatball, then greinke made a great pitch after...not hard bro lol.

[JFD]

This dude has worse command than Aaron Sanchez it seems

[Jgarza868899]

Fastball command isn’t the best starting out. Hopefully he settles down

[Scion]

Nate isn't even close with the fb right now and the few secondaries he has thrown have looked poor.

[THANOS]

It has to be all mental. He doesn't have these issues in the minors. There's like a wall once he throws a pitch in the majors.

[Jays24]

Throw a strike ffs man

[Spanky99]

Two things can be right, he missed a meatball, then greinke made a great pitch after...not hard bro lol.

 

I know, bro. Hitting's easy, amirite?

[DigitalRock]

He never had these issues before...I think it's just Mental, it will come.

[DigitalRock]

I know, bro. Hitting's easy, amirite?

 

HUH? I never said it was, man you are weird...nothing I said implies hitting was easy. Project much?

[Slyfisher]

Come on Pearson! I thought that they were going to make him earn a call up? How can you bring him up when he can't locate his fastball?

[bronson44]

Missing up and away was something he did a lot last year.

[Scion]

Well f***

[Daniel Labude]

Pearson is scared to throw strikes. Only thing I can think of. Not a problem like this in the minors. Gets to the majors and does it again. Start throwing strikes then go to the corners

[Scion]

Get the bullpen warmed up. Pearson is not even close to the strike zone today.

[THANOS]

He needs the mental health coach more than anyone

[Eat My Shatkins]

lol Holy f***ing s*** Nate.

[Spanky99]

He's capped at around 90 pitches(according to SN people), he might get through 4 at this rate.

[DigitalRock]

wow man, hope the pen is rdy.

[bronson44]

he's not ready

[43211234]

20 innings is definitely enough of a MLB sample to make Nate a reliever.

 

It just seems more likely to me.

 

He's had injury problems and his stuff might be significantly worse as a starter.

 

He turns 25 later this year. I am not at all saying it with certainty. Just seems the more likely outcome if I had to guess.

[JFD]

I think Pearson ends up as a reliever. Every time I've seen him the command is poor. And his stuff played up so much out of the pen last year against the Rays in the playoffs.

 

Looks like it. No confidence unless he's bringing full gas which he cant do as a starter

[Scion]

Straw just did Nate a huge favor there.

[M.E.]

Like all of us we want him to be great but I am losing patience as it has been pretty much all hype and little results at the MLB level.

It's been barely above 20 nnnings.

His stuff looks perfectly fine as a starter, he just needs to iron out his command to be effective.

[Jgarza868899]

Trust that fastball Big Nate.

[Slyfisher]

He needs to trust his stuff and not worry about getting hit
