Probable Starters

 

Iowa: LHP Brooks Raley (100.2 IP, 4.29 FIP, 4.83 ERA, 70 K, 36 BB)

Tennessee: RHP Dae-Eun Rhee (19 IP, 4.15 FIP, 1.89 ERA, 13 K, 6 BB)

Daytona: RHP Pierce Johnson* (27 IP, 3.57 FIP, 2.33 ERA, 21 K, 10 BB)

Boise: RHP Tyler Skulina (12 IP, 2.87 FIP, 1.50 ERA, 8 K, 3 BB)

 

Daytona hasn't announced their starter yet, this is just an educated guess on my part.

Vogelbach is having a big week.....In what has been a big month....in what has been a good second half. The power is down, but he's walking more than he is striking out, which is crazy for a guy with his power.

[Elrhino]

The KC Manager was also bragging about how much he's improved his defense as well. It does seem like he's at least cleaned up the errors recently.

[Vinestal]

Scott Baker is starting for Daytona.

Scott Baker is starting for Daytona.

Since he clearly mastered KC...

Interesting stat, Almora's slugging 25 points higher than Vogelbach. (.482/.457).

What's your point?

Don't really have one. Just noticed it as I was perusing the Cougars stat page. I didn't expect that Almora would have such a decent SLG%.

 

I guess my first thought was that some people were questioning whether or not Almora should be included in the group of power hitting prospects the Cubs are putting together. When I saw that, I thought, why not. I know Vogelbach isn't having his great power-hitting season to date (though he's been heating up lately) so it doesn't really mean that Almora has more power than Vogelbach. It just caught my eye.

not sure how rhee's stuff has rebounded from his injury problems, but his results have been good so far this year (and in tonight's game).

javy falls behind 0-2 and works a walk

So Rosario has been really fuckin bad tonight you guys. Not exactly a "a couple pitches here and there and he'd have had em sort of a situation".

[rawaction]

Alcantara breaking out of it? 3 for 3 with a walk, all singles, but 4 RBIs.

don't usually see minor league pitchers left in long enough to give up 12 runs.

He's been brutal all season.

[TruffleShuffle]

home run by the fat man.

 

nice outing by rhee, although he gave up a 2-run homer to the last batter he faced.

[ctcf]

Baker wasn't terrible, statistically speaking. 3.2 IP, 2 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K

 

Pierce piggy backed and was ok. Struck out a ton but got knocked around a bit. 4 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 7K

[ctcf]

Haha, heading into tonight, Olt has a BABIP of .154 in his first 5 games at Iowa.

When I saw Rosario in person, I knew he was garbage.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Wasn't Rosario breaking out last year before he got hurt?

[rawaction]

I fully know what Mike Olt looks like, build wise.....but for some reason for the last 2 years, when ever I read his name I have an image of Kevin Mench (with a normal size head) pop into my brain.

 

Oh and Baez with a K swinging. 0-4, BB, K. Alcantara flied out. 3-4, BB.
