It wouldn’t have taken a lot but Tyson Miller was much better in his second Iowa start

 

5 innings 3 hits 2 earned 3bb and 5k on 88 pitches

Lange with the nice magic trick tonight of giving up 7 unearned runs lowering his ERA to under 3.

 

Marginal pitcher getting by on smoke, mirrors, and bad defense.

Get Strumpf to South Bend

Sucks that all 3 of 17 year old Richard Gallardo ER came off a 3-run HR with 2 outs to 35 year old MLB vet Nick Hundley.

 

The good news is that Jake Reindl finally made his professional debut. He got rehabbing Top-100 prospect Sean Murphy to ground out a pair of K's but one reached on the ball getting away from the catcher then a another ground out to end his inning.

What is Lange's stuff nowadays?

 

Just a couple years ago he was a 1st round pick in the college WS with a solid fastball, a great curve ball and a developing change up. He didn't get hurt, I don't know why his stuff backtracked?

 

I remember talk about him being a better reliever because of his max effort on pitches, but that transition hasn't happened.

Get Strumpf to South Bend

 

There's no reason for him not to be. You currently have non-prospects(like Daniel) playing 2b beyond High-A.

 

I'm all for Slaughter going as well with Reynolds sinking or swimming at High A.

 

You have older Of'ers in Eugene as well but...

Low 90s FB, limited sign of the breaking ball that got into the 1st and a better change.

 

Without his curve, he's a marginal pitcher and more likely minor league depth than a prospect,IMO.

Thanks for the info... Good stuff.

 

There is still some legitimate hope for Lang. With Little doing well, maybe the 2017 draft wont end up a disaster.
