If I heard right, SB said that Roberts was on a very strict pitch count of 25. He is coming off of Tommy John surgery and has a schedule they are following. Last night he was allowed 25 and was going to throw that many regardless of outcome. They think he can be a difference maker at tourney time and are working hard to get him ready.
My observation: nasty stuff, hit 93 on one throw, great movement on ball, wild (hopefully from not pitching for a year).
My hope: surgery successful and this kid develops into a weekend starter next year. Certainly looks like he has the potential to dominate. Might be another closer for us this year at turny time.
