How does Hurley look?
See he’s given up 2 bombs already….. Only at 59 pitches though.
Not the only black poster on LSB.

he looks decent
but throwing too many fat strikes

4 hits, 1 hit batsman, 0 walks in 5 ip.
nothing wrong with that.
unfortunately 2 of the hits happened to be HRs on poor pitches.
some good, some bad. theres reason for optimism.

Mixed bag
He’s grooving a lot of pitches, and he’s gotten away with a few since this is the Royals. But his stuff looks pretty decent, he just needs to keep it outta the middle of the plate.

He's been a mixed bag today
He’s thrown a lot of strikes (zero walks) but he’s groved some pitches, some of which he’s gotten away with. But his stuff looks pretty good, especially the slider – he just needs to work on keeping it down and out of the gearbox.

Of course, I’m no scout, but I think it’s pretty good. That’s definitely his best pitch.

good and bad
pretty good stuff, velocity increased from 89 to 93 after a couple innings.
good control as far as throwing strikes, but really in the heart of the zone a few times resulting in HRs.
got hurt on some mistake pitches.
not great, but definitely some things to work from.

Nice first outing for Hurley
Gave the Rangers 6 innings and no walks. Not to mention dude is only 22 he will get better.

he didnt really have to work at all
cruised through the game, just happened to give up some hrs. those hrs will continue to be a problem, but better that than struggling for 7 innings 120 pitches 5 walks or something.

I actually would rather have a pitcher who throws strikes and misses bats while giving up some homers than a groundball nibbler who walks people and gives up a bunch of dinkus hits, myself.

Danks gave up quite a few homers last year, but he looks to have that under control this year. Hope for the same progression by Hurley.

im summarizing him a lot today =p
started off the game at 89 mph with his fastball, but was quickly 93-94 in the third and after.
never had really long painful at bats or anything, just threw it up there. no walks. lots of flyballs, 2 of them went out for the 4 runs.
it was a solid starting point, but yeah… hes going to have to leave fewer pitches in the middle of the zone against a HR hitting team.

6.0 IP, 6 H, 4 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 2 HR
92 pitches, 63 strikes. 3 groundouts, 12 flyouts.
He looked good, threw a lot of strikes and broke off a few nice sliders. He did leave too many pitches in the middle of the plate, but overall, that was a great debut.
