Rizzo's only Bowdenesque quality this season has been the way he has stuck with his boy Mock to give him chances to succeed others were not afforded. Mock has actually taken advantage of the chances. If he does ultimately pan out (and Rizzo was right that if he was to succeed it would need to be as a starter), then Rizzo's hunches are worth respecting even more.

More than a few posters here had completely given up on Mock, but he's very quickly gotten back to where he was in AAA - quite dominant, before he tires rapidly around the 6th or so.

Gene Mauch lifetime .239 hitter

Better than I thought ... we'd take a .239 hittin' pitcher.

We would never be able to make plays like that.

So this is it for him.

70 pitches through 5.

Zambrano reminds me of Joaquin Andujar the littlest thing would go wrong and his brain would explode on the mound

So this is it for him.

He's made it to 6.0 innings twice in his 7 starts, but both have come since he started pitching better.  But he's yet to pitch into the 7th.

Mock has been stellar as of late, more potential than Balester imo.

seriously come on. there is no reason we cannot get 7 innings from our starter tonight. we have to take advantage when your offense scores you 9 runs. gotta go deep into this game.

No issue with Mock here. Tell him to keep throwing strikes and stay aggressive. He just induced a ground ball that the 2B could not handle. 5 degree angle from being a DP.
