Daytona now leads it 15-2 in the 7th.

 

Holliman's night is over. His line: 6 IP, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 H, 8/2

It'd be tough to find a scorecard wide enough to score the Daytona game.

 

actually, it's not so bad :) Each scorecard makes the assumption that a team will bat around in an inning, so having a player come up in both the first and second is not that big a deal. Most scorecards (this one is my favorite) provide an extra inning or 2 just in case. Generally when a team bats around, I'll just take the next column, scratch off the inning at the top and renumber. Normally, in these situations, you don't have to worry about extra innings as well.

 

I admit it - I'm a scorecard geek :cheers:

The final is 15-3. Daytona got 23 hits. The announcers were talking about getting Craig some time at C since it was a blowout, but that did not happen. :|

The Jaxx remain 2 GB with 6 games remaining. Maybe Ron should bet his hair. :lol:

Excellent! I bookmarked the site!

 

I was thinking at the time about them batting around multiple times within an inning. :wink:

So what the heck is Wells' potential?

 

He is having a VERY impressive season, while being still relatively new to pitching and age appropriate.

I think he can be a good #3 pitcher or a good reliever (maybe even closer?).

Those are some insane stats by Wells, what is his stuff like?

This is what John Sickels had to say about Wells in his 2006 Prospect Book.

 

Wells has average stuff, standard upper-80's fastabll, average curveball and change-up. His best attribute is his ability to throw strikes...He posted a nice ratio set for Daytona last year (K/BB +103 percent, K/IP +29, H/IP +6), with a homerun rate much better than league average...If he continues to pitch well at higher levels, he could be a back-end-of-the-pitching staff guy eventually.

This is what Randy himself says, in the Randy Wells journal thread on the top of the page:

 

"I usually sit at 88 to 92, somewhere in that range. I throw a slider and a changeup. My changeup is my second-best pitch. I use it a lot more than the slider. I use the slider in fastball counts along with the changeup, the slider to put away righties and backdoor to lefties. I use my changeup any time and in any count when things are going good."
