Heh, 4 Ks in 1 IP.

cristian hernandez was 2-3 with a double, a walk, hbp, 3 stolen bases, and 4 runs scored. seems to save his best games for when he is playing against the cubs. :lol:

[TruffleShuffle]

ed howard has walked 4 times in 2 nights. :shock: previously he had walked 13 times in his first 62 games.

[TruffleShuffle]

3 run dong for ed howard!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

A beaut:

 

 

Those hands are so fast.

dj herz: 5.1 ip, 2 h, 1 er, 2 bb, 5 k, 1 hbp, 1 wp. that's his longest outing of the year. only the third start this year where he hasn't had more strikeouts than innings pitched.

 

max bain: 5 ip, 4 h, 3 r (1 earned), 0 bb, 4 k, 2 wp, 6 go/1 fo. 74 pitches so far.

Little 2 perfect innings, 3K. Hasn't been scored upon yet for Iowa.

Composite 2.5 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, 33/28 K/IP, and 3.0 GO/AO. I'm guessing when his control is OK, his stuff is useable too. How often the control can be there, hard to guess.

So the Tennessee rotation to open next year is probably this, right?

 

Marquez

Jensen

Espinoza

Vizcaino

Bain

 

Obviously injuries will make their mark, but talent wise it feels like all five of those guys are major leaguers? And while each individual guy is more likely than not a reliever, odds are you probably net at least one pretty darn good starter out of that group?

[Bertz]

Max Bain since coming off the DL:

 

24.1 IP, 2.96 ERA, 8 BB, 2 HBP, 2 HR, 27 K, 43% GB rate
