You know, there’s that whole fool me once, fool me twice, kind of thing. With Robert Stephenson, I think we’re on about the fourth fool me so I probably shouldn’t get my hopes up. But, Stephenson has been pitching much better lately and has his season ERA down to 3.80. He’s spent his entire season in AAA, and I think he should stay there until we see some continued success. But, an outing like this is very encouraging.
We’d like to hope that Robert Stephenson puts it together, and he did tonight. Bob Steve went 7 innings and gave up only 1 earned run on 4 hits, zip walks, and struck out 9.
