Let's talk about Yoshinobu Yamamoto

Five runs allowed in one inning in his debut.

It's easy to credit it in part ot facing a stacked Padre lineup in Korea, but hey, I'm glad that wasn't for us.

[Benjamin Grimm]

As I mentioned in another thread, if he had had a Mets debut like that, there would be angst all over the place.

It has me recalling Tom Glavine's first start in 2003. I don't recall how we reacted, but it probably wasn't especially measured.

It was more measured than for Glavine's last start as a Met.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Yeah but that first Glavine start sucked, and he had no business making it in the first place.

[Edgy MD]

He has a chance for a fresh start, and if he rebounds, what happened in Korea might stay in Korea. But I confess I'm rooting against the Dodgers.

Why would we have ever wanted Tom Glavine? I refuse to believe that happened.

[Benjamin Grimm]

This morning I realized that I had forgotten all about this guy that I spent last offseason coveting.

I looked him up, and he hasn't pitched since June 15. He's been out with a strained rotator cuff. At the time of his injury, he was 6-2, 2.92 in 14 starts. 74 innings. 17 walks and 84 strikeouts.

[Frayed Knot]

I think he's expected back this week but, yeah, not (yet anyway) the break-through star we pined for.
