Is it just me, or does he look uncomfortable/ unhappy out there ? He settled in nicely and ended up pitching a pretty good game, but he just looks like he is either unhappy, constipated or having major anxiety attacks. Even once he settled in & was pitching well, he still looked very anxious.

He always starts slow for some reason. He's young, he will be just fine imo

He still has a lot of growing. It's not fair that he's going to be compared to Lange all year. He's on another level. I think Godfrey is doing okay. Today was rough. But every other start had been a step forward. I'm hoping this was just SEC jitters.

Rocky start, then he settled down. 1st. SEC start. Give him time. He will be fine.

I feel like if he can get past the first inning or two, he'll settle in and you can get a solid 5 or 6 innings out of him. Only giving up one run in that disaster of a 1st, and the 5 spot in the bottom of the inning definitely helped his confidence today.

Pitchers are a strange lot. I always tried to stay away from them !

He's very emotional which is not a great thing for a starting pitcher....He makes me nervous but very talanted of course....If he can harness his emtions he'll be realllllly good...

Kind of reminds me of a young Tom Seaver. Takes an inning or two for him to get into the flow of the game, but he battles all the way.
He didn't have his best stuff today, but he competed with each pitch.

He's still finding himself on the mound. He was no where near his peak performance and was still getting ground balls. He's already an above average Sunday starter 5 weeks into his career.

I like him. You can tell he's still getting comfortable on the college level, but he has good stuff and moxie up there...I like that he's shown the ability to work out of trouble, even if it's usually self inflicted haha.
