If Pomeranz can return to even serviceable form, that would be huge... just somebody you can roll out as a 4 or 5 and possibly feel better about than, say, stretching out long relievers 2/5 starts.

Me and my son were at the Pom game in Charlotte last night and his performance was encouraging. He did have a couple hard hit balls other than the homer but par for the course in that regard.
He appeared visibly pissed after the homer, guess he want back on the big club. Here’s hoping big smooth can fill the void.

Any word on his FB velocity this last start? I recall most of his MLB starts this year seemed to be in the 88-90 mph range which he attributed to his mechanics rather than a possible injury.

An improved FB this time around might be more evidence of that (although it seems like his curve is typically what makes or breaks his effectiveness).
