Really hoping Allard's battery mate Herbert gets better.
Really hoping Allard's battery mate Herbert gets better.
Next year we'll have Hubert, Cumberland, and Gutierrez. Hopefully one of these guys steps up.
Allard since he returned to Rome: 7 GS, 42.1 IP, 32 H, 11 ER, 11 BB, 46 K. Dominant, and he's going consistently 6 IP in just about every start, and 5 of those ER came in one start.
He actually pitched well in his last start in Rome before going to Danville...
5.0 ip 3 h 0 er 0 bb 5 k
I didn't understand dropping him after such a nice start. Allard proved that last start was no fluke
Again, I'm not sure it was a demotion. I think they probably planned to send him to Danville all along, but he was ready before they started so they let him pitch a few in Rome first.
Maybe it wasn't a demotion, but dropping a kid a level when his numbers were bad sure seems like a demotion.
