Gobble on Fire in Charlotte

[RH33]

Has anyone been paying attention to Jimmy Gobble? He has struck out 7 of last 8 batters he's faced. Only need 12 pitches to strike out the side against Durham yesterday. He's only given up 1 hit in his last 7 outtings. Looks like a great pickup.

When I read the subject, I thought Gobble had lit himself up with gasoline and matches.

He might of done that as well.

I probably would if I had to live in Charlotte!

I thought it was an invitation to a fire-eating seminar in North Carolina.

How silly of you. He won't do that until he gets up here to Chicago:angry:

Hey, it's not a bad town! (I do live in Durham and like it much better here...). Now Fort Mill, SC where the stadium is actually located, that might be another story... :smile:

I wonder when they will bring him up.

[VeeckAsInWreck]

He's a former Royal reliever. This has not been good for us in the past. So I warn everyone to curb their enthusiasm.

Sorry, I'm just not a Southern gent. I'm an ******* Northern.

Very true. If continues to perform at this level, I think we should give him a shot in the bullpen, though. He was never GREAT with the Royals, but I remember him having a decent fastball and it would be nice to have another LH pitching option in the pen.

You'd rarely run into anyone in Durham from the South anymore... I'm from the SW side of Chicago myself.

I'm sure if Richard proves he can't do the job then Gobble is next in line for the lefty specialist role.

And if that happens, I hope scoreboard operations at the Cell, pipes in turkey sounds when he enters the game (like Shingo's gong). :D:

Well, I was talking about Charlotte, Raleigh-Durham is very nice. :cool:

OK, maybe I got a little touchy about it...... :wink:

[CWSpalehoseCWS]

I think Clayton might need to watch it. Wouldn't surprise me if we see Gobble up in the near future.

[Sargeant79]

Gobble might actually be effective if used correctly. While he had a painful ERA last year, lefties actually only hit .200 against him and his K/BB ratio was 4.5. The Royals kept trotting him out against righties, but Ozzie loves playing matchups and likely wouldn't make the same mistake.

[jabrch]

Other than McDougal and his 2 replacements, our pen has been very good. Clayton has had two bad outings in a row, but he has been generally dependable ytd.
