Any idea on when Maples will get to throw multiple innings? I believe he came out in the 2nd inning last game.

 

But, I'd like to see 3-4 innings out of him.

 

Blackburn is off to a great pro start. Pretty exciting piggy-back.

He's probably adding 10ish pitches per start, so I could see 3 IP a few starts from now. Doubt he gets to 4 in a start this year.

Don't look now, but we have a mildly exciting pitching day here

They're almost always exciting in short-season leagues.

Do you think they will get him innings during the instructs or some other offseason league? It just seems like he could really use the extra experience since he started so late. What do they normaly do with guys in his situation? By the time he really gets a feel for his pitches they'll be shutting him down? Seems kinda counterproductive.

Fun with SSS: Christian Villanueva is at 333/400/778 through 20 PA with Daytona. He's also struck out 9 times.

He'll get to pitch in instructs (probably 2-4 inning starts for the whole month or so of instructs) plus side sessions. He's not ready for the level of play in the winter leagues Americans generally play in.

Whitenack was scheduled to start, so Daytona was of course rained out.

 

Ha is back in the lineup for Smokies playing CF, Szczur in RF.

Daytona hasn't been nearly as bad for rainouts this year as it was last year.

2004 was the worst.

Hawks are facing Mariners prospect Victor Sanchez. 17 years old.

Vogelbomb.

Vogelbomb.

 

i love that chubby bastard.

[El Duderino]

Bruno hit for 2nd time tonight. 14 in 46 games.

 

Rock Shoulders with a no-doubter grand slam.

 

Maples with a 2 K, 1 GB inning. Gave up a single to Puig.

 

Marco Hernandez with a double, 13-game hit streak.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Yao Lin Wang with a nice follow up to Peralta's 14 K performance. 6 IP 10 K 0 BB 1 ER.

 

What's the scoop on him anyway? Not much fan fare for a guy who's been quite good this season.

[El Duderino]

Maples got in his customary HBP. Still a pretty good inning with another K.

[Guest]

Ouch. Peoria scores 2 in the top of the 14th but gave up 3 in the bottom of the 14th and lost.

maples 8-)

Rock Shoulders grand slam.

Play of the game: Albert Almora makes a running over the shoulder catch on a ball to deep center, and runner is doubled off 2nd. Game over.

BASERUNNING

SB: Amaya (11, home off Garcia, O/Zunino), Bruno (2, 2nd base off Garcia, O/Zunino).

CS: Martin, T (2, 2nd base by Hauser/Zunino).

Amaya steals home!

[TruffleShuffle]

gotta say, i was hoping that soler would be doing to the AZL what puig is doing so far.

[Guest]

it's the azl, who cares
