Dude has got some wicked movement on his pitches.

Morfa dong

[Transmogrified Tiger]

The extra exciting thing about Mekkes to me, and this may be anecdotal since I obsessively follow him more than most, is that for all his video game numbers a lot of the damage he allows happens when he gets stretched into multiple innings. Last night was pretty emblematic of that: K, K, K, K, 1B, PO, 1B, BB

 

Another fun fact: Mekkes has given up 6 runs this year. One of them was a 9th inning home run that he followed up with a scoreless 10th. All of the rest have come from innings with the contrived 'runner on 2nd' situation for extra innings, with 4 of the 5 being unearned because they were those runners.

Anyone know why Swarmer was pulled after three innings?

They're still playing, so I'm thinking there was a rain delay. Looks like something after 1 out 8n the bottom of the third. Not sure if it was rain, how long it lasted, or what though.

Yep. Rain delay in the bottom of the third.

RHSP Jose Albertos continues to struggle with command (mostly by spiking his FB in front of home plate or throwing it over the batter's head), allowing four runs (three earned) on five hits (four singles and a double), four walks, a HBP, and two wild pitches in 3.1 IP (73 pitches), while throwing only 48% strikes. He was, however, also occasionally brilliant, striking out six and getting batters to repeatedly hit his pitches into the ground when he was not recording a punch-out, issuing a walk, hitting a batter, or throwing a WP (4/0 GO/AO).

 

Jose Albertos: 3.1 IP, 5 H, 4 R (3 ER), 4 BB, 6 K, 1 HBP, 2 WP, 4/0 GO/AO, 73 pitches (35 strikes)
