Thu. 4/3: Final Solo Team Appearance for the Sounds (6:05 CT) - Logan Henderson on the Bump

[Joseph Zarr]

Nittoli goes three up and three down to close the ninth. Two fly outs to Herron in RF. Weak ground out to Durbin at 2B. Sounds win 5-1. Yay. They pull one out! Sounds improve to 2-4 overall.

Solid win by the Sounds.

Big inning, solid pitching.

Bigger plate ‘o games tomorrow night….

Rodriguez could only be called up to replace an injured pitcher. Not enough days have passed on his optional assignment (eligible as of April 11th).

Well, not really mistaken. Isn’t he literally being called up to replace an injured pitcher in Civale?

Anderson was called up to replace Civale when Civale went on the IL.

Looking at Henderson's pitch map tonight...he certainly was struggling with control. 47 of 85 pitches outside the zone and many of those were welllll outside the zone. It's a credit he was able to induce the 8 punch outs. Leaned heavy on the four-seamer (49 total heaters). Threw less cutters and sliders than he did in outing one. He's very clearly still trying to find his way early in the regular season. Miles to go.

Agree Joseph. I am not good at recognizing the pitches, but he struggled and seemed to find some consistency mid 2nd inning that helped, but his first 30 or so pitches he was struggling with command, and his last 2 innings he was either back to his baseline FB/change only approach, or developed some better command.

I want him to work on the secondary pitches as his FB is 92-94, so he will not get by with that velocity alone.

A work in progress and I suspect he will be in AAA for the majority of the year to hone that part of his arsenal.
