It's spring training. Chill. Even the Drew Hensons of the world can look like superstars.

That's one thing I don't get. How can teams make the decision to call up a guy, say a journeyman, who has had absolutely no success in the majors, based off 1 month? Let alone 1 month of exhibition games where nobody is close to full throttle. It's nonsense.

Agreed. There are ALWAYS players in spring training that are incredibly lucky and streaky...cough...Chris Shelton...but yeah. It's always the exceptional players that come around and still performing come september.

Wherd. I can't see how JCM is afraid of getting Lowry after one shitty game this spring.

I don't want to trade him anyways...I'd rather keep him. Good back end of the rotation starer.

Yeah but 9 walks is unheard of. Even in a exhibition game where pitchers are just getting in shape..

24 pitches without a hitter taking a swing? His next start should be closely watched.

Yes, but this isn't just "working out the kinks". As NGO pointed out, this is a terrible sign if he cant even get near the strikezone. I mean, he had 87 walks in 156 IP last season. Only 6 guys had more walks than him last year, and 4 of those 6 had at least 200 IP.

ST or not. 9 Walks, 2 WP, and a ball thrown into the stands is not something that "just happens" in the spring, it's a huge red flag.
