Austin Gomber hit a low point early this season, then admitted that being a key piece of Colorado’s Nolan Arenado trade with the Cardinals was affecting his performance. Since then? It's as if a weight has been lifted off his shoulders. By PSaundersDP
He enters Friday night’s game against the Dodgers in Los Angeles fresh off a gem in St. Louis, pitching six innings of shutout baseball in the Rockies’ 1-0 victory. He gave up six hits, struck out two and walked three. Considering that Gomber had walked just five batters total through his previous nine starts, those three walks are an anomaly. But unlike some past games, he didn’t allow those free passes to derail him.
Gomber not only unburdened himself with the media, he talked with teammates, especially veteran reliever Daniel Bard, as well as mental skills coach Doug Chadwick, and Steve Foster, the director of pitching operations. “In my mind, this was significant for him in a lot of ways,” Black said. “I don’t want to overplay it, but I know he feels good about this .”‘He’s staying a little taller when he gets to his balance point,” Black said. “And there is really a concerted effort to locate his fastball, especially inside to righties. Because he’s predominantly going to face right-handed hitters. That was a point of emphasis.
