<p>More on #Montgomery I just read...last rookie to post three straight shutouts was the great Orel Horshiser. Good company and not an easy task. Will see if he can pull it off</p>

<p>So excited to watch #Montgomery toe the rubber. Hope he can keep it up. Might really have something special here</p>
James Shields 0, Felix 2

Dr. D gets more tired of analyzing losses than you do of reading about them. But, you wanna know what happened. Apparently 30% of you want to know what happened without watching the Mariners.

What the MARINERS will do, we don't know. As we type this, they've got "TBA" in Elias' / Iwakuma's spot next Tuesday. That's with Mike Montgomery being in James Paxton's spot, and the M's just having said "James is going to be out awhile."

<p>Iwakuma: 1 R in 5.2 IP in AAA, with 6 punchies. Got a blister (says that happens every year when he starts throwing after a long hiatus) and expects to make his next start...soooooo....who do you send out of this rotation when Iwakuma arrives? I'm gonna be TICKED if they boot #Montgomery, the way he's pitching...but that is probably what they'll do, since he has options.</p>

<p>@CurtoWorld: Mike #Montgomery never pitched a shutout in 159 minor league starts. He has two in six major league starts.</p>
Merging into the Something Special lane
Question: When was the last time anybody in the ML's threw back-to-back shutouts and gave up 6 hits or less, combined?
Answer: I don't have the foggiest!
Likely: It's been a long while!
Statement: What Mike Montgoeery has just done is pretty special in the history (well, since 1990) of MLB ball.
Statement #2: KC had an idea when they took him as #36 in '08.
Cheech and Chong mention: Remember the line, "They call me old Cucumber Head," from Los Cochinos? Kewl as a cucumber, that's our Monty.

Q. Pretty cool to have an SSI accomplice on the postgame shtick, right?
A. Wish it would happen every time. 'specially when it's MoeDawg.
.
Q. Do we care that it was a "shutout"? Like, as opposed to 8 IP, 1 ER?
A. There's a definite tendency for outlier rookie performances to point toward --- > above-average success from there.
.
Q. The statline was 9 1 0 0 4 7. Did he throw as well as the numbers suggest?
A. He did not, no.
But that's pretty cool. He brought his "B" game -- without a doubt it was his "B" game -- and the inherent nature of his game, even shabbily executed, snuffed out the Padres like a convenience-store match stub. The shutout wasn't "forced" on the Padres; it was just one of those things. Some really good lineup might have blitzed him for, oh, 3-4 runs on the night. Might have.
Dr. D actually did not watch this game -- first in 2015, we think -- and then checked the score. Montgomery 1-hitter! Raced downstairs to skim through and was really taken aback by the way the game happened.
Just saying, this one wasn't a few pitches away from a Felix Perfecto, even though the stats show one inch (literally) from a no-hitter and an ocean of media attention.

Q. What did he NOT do well?

<p>And mt.. I don't mean trade all hard throwers.. but he's showing some signs of things to come. Can't trade him if anything happens to elbow. These smaller injuries make guys compensate. You got some guys like a #Montgomery showing potential and have good value w paxton to help out the offense. Felix and Paxton in same convo is also just two different #Animals. I'm fine if he stays or go and love the price and potential he carries tgat you mentioned. If #Seattle goes out though..to get pieces, which they more than likely will.
