Kilian carving people up and now Davis with a HR, this is the stuff I was promised

I'm assuming Killian came out after 2.2ip because he had a 50 pitch limit and hit 53 after that batter.

 

Pitch counts will pile up a bit when you whiff six guys in 2 2/3 innings.

Yeah. Especially for the first start of the season.

[Tim]

Uelmann's first inning: 1IP, 3K (and two hits)

 

four outs, four k's.

[Tim]

five for five

 

eta - six for six. Damn fine outing

[Tim]

Oh yeah, Davis walked in his next PA

[Bertz]

five for five

 

eta - six for six. Damn fine outing

 

Uelman was a guy with a turbo sinker and not much else IIRC. I'm guessing he's found a something else that works for him

[Tim]

Davis reminding everyone he shouldn't be in the minors:

 

Which raised his average to .083

[Tim]

Davis is now at a .077 BA with 8k's in 13 PA for the season so far. Miniscule sample size, but doing nothing so far to prove he should be in the majors to start the year.

[Bertz]

 

Herz definitely looks like a reliever, but then again so do Madison Bumgarner and Chris Sale

[Tim]

He's up to 5k in 3ip

[Hrubes20]

No PCA again tonight. Hopefully it’s just a stomach bug or something and not an injury sustained in ST.

[Bertz]

It's going to (fairly) get lost in the shuffle but, presumably done for the day, Ryan Jensen with:

 

4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 4K and 50% groundballs

[CaliforniaRaisin]

[Bertz]

Including the big league club, the org struck out 69 opposing batters today. Every club had double digit K's. And this isn't some non-prospects bullying kids several years younger than them. Luke Little was the least prospect-Y starter, and he's a lefty up to 99 MPH
