I guess I'm totally blanking... where did Carlos Pimentel come from?

Minor league free agent in the offseason. I think he had a good winter league or something.

[davell]

He was a Ranger until this season and was under consideration as the PTBNL, which ultimately became Ramirez. He's been in his teams top 30 multiple times. 6 year minor league FA, just turned 24. Chose us mainly because we had shown interest in him prior. Is still a prospect, not just fodder.

I think I read in his last start he was working 88-89 mostly? Am I misremembering, or is feasible?

[davell]

I guess it's possible. I remember reading he was a 91-92 guy, topping out 93, 94 on a good day.

He was 90-92 last time out according to the Des Moines Register I-Cubs beat writer.

[craig]

Thanks, 90-92 isn't fast for a RHP, but it's not prohibitively slow.

I'm pretty sure the Smokies play by play guys are trying to connect via dial-up modem and having problems.

CJ allowed a HR in the 2nd

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

CJ gave up a solo homer. =-o

[ctcf]

That's his second HR allowed as a pro.

Bryant last man standing.

[Vinestal]

CJ gives up another run, Inf hit then he stole 2nd then there was a blooper that allowed him to score. He's not doing much to hold runners close. Then another runner scores from 3rd on a grounder to the SS. Ball not really being hit hard... but bad results

[Guest]

Umm...

 

@MRubio52: Working on details here but Albert Almora just passed out on the field.

 

@MRubio52: So far as I can tell it is the bloody nose/wooziness he was dealing with earlier that was tweeted out by a few.

[RammyFanny]

Why does MilbTV keep rejecting my damn debit card?
