PleaseBlitz Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Great start for Blake. I think he's got the stuff, it's going to be all about his command this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Forget who tweeted it, but said Treinen shook to that 3-2 slider to Bohr. Some cojones there. A walk brings the tying run to the plate. Instead he retires a damn good hitter. Maybe it was that confidence that garnered the fist pump after the swing and miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eaton is going to cry hitting ahead of Bryce and Murphy. Man if Bryce is truly back, and Murph continues to do Murph things, cover little Timmy's eyes.

Warhead36 Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Remember how bad Treinen was in 2015? I was terrified everytime he stepped on the mound. Good coaching/managing makes a difference. But Treinen might be another example of why you shouldn't spend big on relievers. Its such a volatile position and there are always guys every year that come out of nowhere and be great.

ixcuincle Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 Was reading in the Express today on the way to the Game at 7 AM about how Treinen struggled and went to the minors and got his stuff worked out.. So far in his debut he has done a good job. As for the Park it was quite rowdy and I was very happy to see other people there just milling around at 9 AM. I tell you there not a lot of things to do there when you go 2 hours before the gates open. But once they did it was great, they made a few adjustments to Nats Park. Only problem today was the crowds. Everywhere in the concourse. I was out in the concourse 2nd inning to 4th inning and had no idea what was going on because I kept standing in line and the TV's weren't working so you had no clue what was going on. That's my only complaint about today. OTherwise it was good game and yes when Lind homered (even when Bryce homered) that place went Nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeman38 Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 If Treinen throws like this all year, Koda can lock down the 8th with Kelly. That stuff in the 9th was ELECTRIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted April 4, 2017 Author Share Posted April 4, 2017 Maddux as pitching coach has made a difference. I won't say "he fixed" this guy or that guy..... But look at Roark. Guys who want to get better have that opportunity with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re not too far removed from Spring Training where they’re still kind of sharp and that was a big hit by Jeremy — I mean by Adam Lind, I keep calling him Jeremy, thinking basketball, but that was big for us, especially when we left those runners out there [early] and even at the end of the game.

A lot of hanging out and saying "let him work through it". So...... Seems plausible now. Too bad he wasn't replaced much earlier. Think about the guys who could have used Maddux.
