Low 90's with a good changeup is the CBS sports take

Were they just guessing? This is a different scouting report.....

Gilbert uses an advanced four pitch arsenal that consists of a fastball that touches 97mph, slider, curve, and change, none of which grade lower than 50. The Florida-native threw up a 0.80 WHIP this past season en route to winning the Atlantic Sun Pitcher of the Year Award, cutting his walk rate down 1.8 K/9 and seeing his strikeout rate jump up to 12.9 K/9. He was equally impressive last summer in the Cape Cod League, where he posted a 1.72 ERA and 0.90 WHIP against the game’s top prospects. "

I don't know, but I['m pretty sure if he's a college kid and throwing stuff out like that at 97. he isn't a 16th round pick.

He was taken 14th overall.

You're welcome. Pretty stoked to get a pitcher with at least two plus pitcher and two that are average at worst before getting any professional instruction.

Great start tonight against the Astros. Seager and Zunino go yard to go up 6-0 in the 2nd.

They came to play, that's for sure. They're looking to take Houston to the woodshed.

We'll see whether it's 7-1 or 7-6 (or worse) when this is over. Don't the Astros have a tendency to score a bunch of timely runs late in the game? Hope our relief pitching keep it closer to 7-1.

But it's nice to have a 6 run cushion.

Nicasio, 1 pitch and he gets the out with two on. Yet another hold for him. He struggled earlier in the year but has been really good since and for a while now.

Damn fine game tonight. Pax struggled a little in the 2d, but overall was dominant. Now up 2 games on the 'Stros. :irishdrinkers:

I missed the first two innings earlier. Watching the replay now.

Go M's! :2thumbs:

Outstanding game in all facets today.
Great win!!!

 

[Shanegotyou11]

These boys are for real. I know cold streaks will happen but this team will snap the playoff drought.

 

[Crizilla]

8 out of the last 10 M's wins they've allowed 1 or 0 runs.

Nicasio back to his old ways

 

[Sports Hernia]

Nicasio back to his old ways

Yep. 5.34 era, 3 blown games. Should not be anywhere near the mound with the game in question.
Gave up 4 runs on 4 hits and didn’t record an out. Tacoma time IMHO.

Sending him to Tacoma would be foolish. He had been good lately after he's made some adjustments to correct his terrible start to the season.

Today was just unlucky, if you look at it carefully. The only solid hit he gave up was the first one to Kemp. After that, the next three hits that Springer, Bregman, and Altuve hit were ALL down and away, well out of the strike zone, where Zunino was actually set up at. Two of those pitches were about to hit the dirt! The Astros hitters just threw their bats at the ball hoping to make contact or foul it off and all three resulted in hits.

When you're locating your pitches and hitting your spots but the hitters managed to eek out a hit, you just tip your cap and move on. Nicasio was good today but the Astros were just "fortunate" enough to turn some tough pitches into hits.

It's baseball. You win some and you lose some. Luckily, we've been doing more winning than losing. Even with this game today, we were in it till the very last out. The Mariners of recent years would've been swept by the Astros and outscored 20-2 in this series.

Split with Houston, in Houston, could've won both games, and still be in first place heading to TB? I'll definitely take that any day!

Hopefully, we can start a new winning streak in TB. :2thumbs:
