Minor League Discussion & Boxes 7-24-14

[Thrilho]

The first two pitches to Soler were right down broadway and looked like they could have been strikes. Ball four was right under his chin. Looking forward to seeing the second time through the order.

[Guest]

Another single for Addison.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Vinestal unimpressed.

[Vinestal]

Another single for Addison.

Infield single, announcers said he turned the speed up the line up a notch

[davell]

6IP 2H 0R 3W 8K, final line for Pierce.

[Guest]

@JGoro8: Tseng using change very frequently. 80-84, can add/subtract with it, make it fade, or straight for a strike. RH or LHH, either way.

 

@JGoro8: Cael Brockmeyer is a large human. 6'5 C. Long swing. Struggles on the inner half. 2.15-2.25 pop.

 

@andruwgreen: That'll do it for Pierce Johnson after six fine innings. Final line: 6.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 8 SO. 81 pitches/51 strikes & in line for win

[Rob]

It'd be great if Pierce could throw some more strikes.

[rawaction]

1.000/1.000/1.000/ 2.000 OPS. call up or nah?

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

It'd be great if Pierce could throw some more strikes.

His walk rate was 8.4% last year, and since he came back from the injury this year it's 10.5% Don't think it's going to be a long term concern.

[Thrilho]

Soler looking for blood. Hard single back through the box, nearly hit the pitcher in the leg.

Less of a concern than Corey Black hopefully???

[Irrelevant Dude]

Olt is fixed! Bring him back up!

Aren't those kinda bad?

No? I'd say they're pretty average.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

MLB average is 7.5%. If you're above that in the minors, it's a bit of a problem.

 

I mean, I'd rather have that problem than not enough Ks or something, but it's not good.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

OK, Kyle. It's a bit of a problem.

but does it disqualify him from prospect status?

Javy Bomb

[Irrelevant Dude]

Javy Bomb

I don't think it landed yet.

[Friendly Confines]

this is going to be fun

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Bryant K, Soler BB'd again.

[Thrilho]

Soler swung out of his shoes with his first swing trying to follow up that Javybomb. Every swing he took in the AB was a hard cut. Which made the it all the more impressive that he laid off close pitches on pitches 6 and 8 to get the walk.

[itisallpartoftheplan]

If you heard someone hit a homer for Iowa what's you order of who you hope hit it, based on tonight's lineup?
