Ricky Freakin Nolasco

[Docwaukee]

We fixed him!!!

Nice outing.  CGSO with less than 100 pitches.  

Deserves it's own thread.

Eppler is a genieyus.

Cy Young here he comes!

Awesome performance. Didn't see it. The sports app notified me the game ended and he pitched a shut out wow.  Good for him. 

[VariousCrap]

It was so much fun to watch.  He was amazing today.

Walked by Eppler today... he was wearing earbuds. Gave him a quick head nod.

Our #1 next spring

My son is now 2-0 in attending games. Was a quick 2:10 treat to cap off his first day of kindergarten. Nolasco was dealing, 7 SOs and zero walks!

[bloodbrother]

time to sell high!

[Billy_Ball]

He also had an impressive start against the Cubs earlier this month (6 innings,  2 ER.)  He can do it!

Also looking forward to seeing 6'9 Alex Meyer in Sept.

Anybody with the last name of Nolasco .., can't be all bad.

His 11th complete game. Only 738 to go.

749 complete games is the single most insane stat in baseball, in my opinion.

 

[disarcina]

it's one game -- what's Nolasco's status for 2017 ? Isn't he under contract here with us now for 2017 and even into 2018?

that's why we made the deal, I thought.

nice outing but let's not get too excited.........he could be a serviceable rotation guy for us in 2017. Number Four guy.

And I think our number five might be Jered Weaver.

We're going to try to break even next year, 81-81 - that would be an accomplishment.

I see more like 73-89

If Hector dreamt of doing this, he would tear his ucl.

How do you tear a University in Irvine

[eligrba]

Great.....a couple more outings like this and we can look forward a dehydration event.

[Tank]

He sucks less than we anticipated! Woo hoo!

[Second Base]

Again, the more I think of and watch Nolasco, the more my brain does the necessary mental gymnastics to like the trade. We aren't going to be competitive next year and he eats up innings until we are competitive again. And if he does happen to perform well, we could trade him at the deadline for prospects.

And Meyer, who was labeled negatively as a 27 year old injured relief prospect is more accurately a 27 year old former elite prospect than should break into a major league rotation for good next year.

All while Santiago continues his Jekyll and Hyde act in Minnesota.

I legitimately believe we won that trade.

No that's not why we made the trade ... although, Nolasco is under contract through 2017.

One article that I read said that the Twins insisted on including Nolasco in the deal. If so, not only was it not part of some grand plan, it wasn't even our idea.

Now this is a plan I can get behind!
