Ross Detwiler proved on Sunday that, while Tom Gorzelanny holds the upper
hand in the race for the Nationals' fifth starter job, and Chien-Ming Wang
would get a clear shot at it if he could get himself healthy, it is Detwiler
who remains the most intriguing rotation candidate in this camp. The lefty
struck out five batters, including his last four in a row, during a
three-inning stint against the Atlanta Braves, allowing only one hit and an
unearned run.

Detwiler said he continues to grow more comfortable with his new delivery,
citing as the biggest difference his ability to pound fastballs inside to
hitters.

"I remember a few times last year trying to throw an inside fastball and
leaving it over the plate, and it's either a home run or it's in the gap or
something," he said. "So I think I'm really able to drive the ball inside
now."

Detwiler induced several awkward swings from Braves hitters on Sunday,
something that rarely occurred last year. "I didn't get an awkward swing last
year," he said. "I got a lot of contact last year."

Manager Jim Riggleman acknowledged how difficult it would be, if Detwiler
continues pitching as he has, to leave out of the rotation a left-handed
power arm such as his. But there is still a long way to go in the spring.

"That's the great thing about coming in here with more than five starters,"
Riggleman said. "There are seven or eight guys [in the mix], and he's one of
them. He's certainly going to make it a tough decision for us. But everybody
is going to get more and more outings. And really, every starter has thrown
good. [John] Lannan has thrown good. [Jordan] Zimmermann has thrown good.
[Jason] Marquis has thrown good. [Chad] Gaudin has thrown good. [Detwiler is]
right there at the top of the list. But nobody's pitched themselves out of a
slot just yet."



    型男終於長大了。

    昨天在對勇士一戰，投3局只掉一分，其中還包括連續三振4名打者。
    玫瑰自己說他對修正後的投球姿勢適應得更好，能把球投到想要的位置
    甚至有好幾球讓打者揮棒落空，跟往年投球被打者大量揮擊中，進步了不少

    Riggleman 說，以前他總是擔心缺乏合格的投手來調度
    今年完全變了樣，輪值裡的每位投手都表現出色
    現在換他頭痛到底要帶誰北上回華盛頓。

推 ug945:cool
推 WASnations:相較之下MOCK好像投的很糟...
推 s9527206:看新聞說 Mock 的控球是最大的問題...目前出賽2局就投了
推 s9527206:5個BB...今天也是，投完第4局只有 I-Rod 和 Morse 的失誤
推 s9527206:害他掉了1分非自責...但第5局控球馬上走樣，一開始就連續
推 s9527206:2BB，接著被 Chris Johnson 幹全壘打...然後就被換下場了
推 s9527206:而且這老毛病也不是春訓才有...上大聯盟後就是這樣
