Certainly ended well.

K and a GIDP.

 

Let's see if it works pre-emptively, Maples is not going to have a very good 2nd.

[Elrhino]

Ugh, even as a reliever Jay Jackson gives up way too many homers.

[El Duderino]

Some guy named Moran is pitching for the AZL Reds. Awesome.

Not surprising, but Maples only threw one. Ryan McNeil threw the 2nd.

[El Duderino]

Stephen Bruno just got hit for the 9th time in 38 games.

[Vinestal]

Hunter Ackerman with 4Ks in 2 innings so far, whats his story?

4th round pick a couple of years ago. Really raw, nice velo. Lefty.

Good curve tonight. Using a change as well.

 

Just overmatched a guy with a high fastball on 3-2 for his 5th k in 3 shutout innings.

[StarlinOnYou]

Anything on Maples velocity? Also, what does he throw?

 

Shaky inning, but I am sure nerves played a factor. It's just good to finally see him in a box score.

[StarlinOnYou]

BJax has 150 K's now. Wow. I don't even know what to say. This is Mark Reynolds / Adam Dunn type swing and missing and he's facing junk ballers in AAA.

[davell]

No clue what his velo is currently. But he throws a really heavy FB that has hit 98. Has set 92-95 in some HS starts. Throws a hard breaking curve that also has plus potential. Not confident with his change yet, but it profiles as average, if it's on. Plenty see him as a back end of the pen guy. But if he can develop his change and smooth out his delivery, he's got 2 potential.

[ScrubMD]

I just remembered Reggie Golden exists. Any updates on him?

 

Torn ACL, out this season.

 

Thanks. I couldn't remember what happened to him or how long he was gone.

Ian Dickson's last 3 starts: 16ip, 8h, 3r, 1er, 4w, and 14k.

Gotta imagine he's a guy who will see Peoria soon.

 

Back-to-back 1-0 shutouts for Boise Hawks. Didn't see Dickson, but Ackerman looked really good.

Anything on Amora/Soler?

Almora is 0/3, Soler 0/2 and reached on an error.

Thanks.

 

FWIW, that was a typo, not me thinking his name is Amora. lolz.

[El Duderino]

Almora making lots of contact, not much to show for it so far.

[Warpticon]

If only his name was Brian.

[Guest]

Looks like Soler ended up with a double last night.

 

He's at .296/.345/.556 through 7 games.
