Rogers throwing 97 and working ahead very often (5 of 6?).

 

A little wild (and agitated) in the third: 2 out walk, stolen base, error on throw--but strikes out the batter looking on a 3-2 pitch to strand him at third.

 

3IP 1BB 4K 4GB:1FB (and a line drive)

[homer]

Well Rogers finally gave up a hit in the sixth (ground ball up the middle). The radio guys say Rogers isn't even pitching as well as he can.

[brewers19]

Wow, Rogers is dealing.

 

6.0 IP, 1 H, 3 BB, 7 K, 0 R

 

Too bad the box score doesn't give the pitch counts.

[homer]

I'm pretty sure his pitch count is up there (He's gone 7 innings now, with 10K's and 4BB). The radio guys mentioned he was in the 80's before the 7th inning. I'd be surprised if he came out for the 8th.

 

EDIT: Yep. Rogers is out in the 8th. MIKE JONES enters from the bullpen.

 

EDIT: Radio guys say Rogers was "stronger and more effective as the game went along"

[And That]

Mark Rogers is currently experiencing what happens almost everytime a Brewer pitcher is pitching a great game: his team hasn't scored, either.

[Team Canada]

Wow, Jones is in. That's cool.

[DHonks]

wow, so anyone have Rogers' numbers over his last 3 starts? I think he's been great in something like 5 of his last 7

[DKM4Boston]

Rogers last 3 starts:

 

20 2/3 innings, 5 hits, 1 earned run, 8 walks, 29 strikeouts.

[Team Canada]

DKM4Boston beat me, but here's a pretty table:

 Date IP H R BB K&nbsp &nbsp &nbsp &nbsp ------------------------- 6/15 7 1 0 4 10 6/8 7 2 1 2 10 6/2 6.2 2 1 2 9 total: 20.2 5 2 8 29

 

 

Yikes.

[DHonks]

thanks fellas. Pretty impressive. Reminds me a lot of Neugebauer and his control problems (although i seem to remember Neugy struggling much more at the low levels). Seems that like Neugy, nobody in the minors can beat him, only he can beat himself. One would think that if he has his ERA down in the 3's by the end of July, an early August promotion isn't out of the realm of possibility. In the past, the Crew has used August as a time to promote some kids rather aggressively, giving them a taste of the next level for the following year.

[Trowekamp]

So the only question is when Baseball America comes out with it's next project hot sheet who is the top spot Gallardo or Rogers... too bad Inman is out or the Brewers could have captured the top three spots..

 

Great week for Brewer pitching when you add in Villenueva's and Jackson's starts along with Dillard and Hammond..

[Trowekamp]

Two nice things about Rogers:

 

- When he was struggling mightily the brewers brass and scouts kept saying "be patient when he figures it out he will really figure it out" and that looks to be right.

- They seem to have used the same criteria for selecting him they did Jeffers which is a good sign.

[PrimeTime955]

When did Rogers learn to pitch. 7 innings 1 hit? Love it.

[brewmann04]

doug nice point

but please don"t mention him and Neughy in the same sentence lets not Jixes Rodgers.LOL

 

PS

wow Rodgers has been down right Impressive and seemed to fine himself. this is great news

[homer]

In case anyone cares, here's a link to Neugie's numbers. I'd like to see Rogers get a full decent year under his belt before we get too excited - although admittedly I have a hard time tempering my enthusiasm after the last three starts.

[brewers19]

Wow, that was very deja vu-ish of the Brewers game yesterday.

The anemic offense can't back up the stellar pitching and the team loses in extras. Let's hope his doesn't become a trend.

[deeswan]

Amazing to look at that link and realize that Neugy would only turn 26 next month. Gosh, he could have been good.

[brettac1]

Let's hope it's a legit turnaround for Mark, and not just a solid 20 IP amid a rough season. Either way, he's definitely starting to show what he's capable of, and why the Brewers took him at #5, and that's great to see.

After looking at those numbers i'm really currious as to why he was pitching in Milwaukee at age 21?

[tyguy20204]

Sounds like a legit turnaround:

 

With Rebuilt Mechanics; Rogers Rolling

"Now, when I have a good start, I don't feel like it's happening by accident anymore. It's not because I had a good release point for one day or that my secondary pitches happened to be good. It's no accident because I'm repeating my mechanics every single time."
