    I hope Ashby can get some time to reset when we have some players return (ie Junis, Williams, Ross, Bukauskas) which would add more arms to AAA. Maybe spend time at the complex in the pitching lab to work on some things that will help either his control or figure out which pitches are working and maximize them. Even if he can turn into a dependable LHP reliever - that is valuable and maybe not as cost effective given his contract, but again I'll take any positives out of his rehab. But right now his future as a starting pitcher has to be in serious question.

    Nevermind on Carolina - they play two DH this week. First half ends Thursday MIs week? Is that odd? And milb.com has the TRats magic number at 1, that’s why I’m asking above - they clinched though, right?
  3. biedergb
    So TRats clinch first half title, correct? Nevermind just read damuelle post. So Mudcats should hopefully clinch this week. what is the schedule this week that they only have 5 games between this week and next?

    Not sure what’s worse. DL Hall missing most of this season and losing his velocity. or Ashby’s career outlook after another disastrous outing. He had those two nice outings but did not sustain anything from that. Looks more likely he may not advance his career with his injury history and his slow recovery so far. Wonder if now is the time to get him to the pitching lab? If Hall can get some momentum, and if Junis can return, and then July Ross and Devin may be back. Shut Ashby down to work on whatever is messing him up. TRats trying to cough up the lead. Ugh. Fitzpatrick and Rund cough up 5 runs. Time for the offense to get some insurance. 8-5 lead right now. Could use a couple more.

    I am weary of discussing him ;) And I said Buuu-urns

    That was my worry with his inconsistency and variable velocity. ugh. I hope not On a side note - earlier I was going to post about 17 yo Melvin Hernandez pitching into the 6th inning for the first time. But chose not to fearing I would jinx him. Sadly even thinking about posting caused a jinx, as he gave up,hits, left the game and was tagged for more runs. Arizona Brew Crew down 8-1 with still only one out. Reliever Valero giving up runs unfortunately and now outs. Hernandez had pitched 5.1 innings well until this one inning fell apart. Ugh 9-1 now. But at least out #2 thanks to Dikember Sanchez.

    Back to T-Rats. The young core of Adams/ORae/Barrios/Areinamo/Lara (all 19-20 yo) are having a nice season. They all have an OPS close to league average (.690) or higher with Lara the lowest at .647. Per BRef WRC+ they rank of all players aged 18-21 yo in the MWL, # 6 (Adams), #10 (ORae), #14 (Barrios), #21 (Areinamo) and #24 (Lara), which is impressive for their ages. Nice core at high A.

    I think there are two issues. First it’s the first professional season and this is part of the DSL to get them ready for coming state side, teach them how to live away from home, teach social/language skills and ongoing training in baseball. So it’s not just the results but part of the process. However, despite that some kids may be able to make that jump. But the player limit for each organization will work against that. Players in the DSL do not count toward that 165 limit. Players in the complex or other minor league affiliates do. So that means cutting a couple of players to make room for these players coming to the Arizona complex. I’d rather keep them there to adjust and make the moves needed in the offseason and have them jump to ACL or even Carolina (like Chourio, Lara and Yophery; and even recently promoted DiTuri who first stopped in Arizona).

    Welp. Another flight. I’ll catch the results in the morning. Good game by the Cats. TRats down. But they can make a come back right??? looks like Miz calmed down after inning #1 but starts 4th with a HBP — crap
  10. biedergb
    And Castillo makes them pay. Alright! 4-1 Cats.
  11. biedergb
    And Pratt and Yophery have had a nice season with month over month improvements, which is all you can ask from such young players. Hoping that they continue to show this improvement, although some ebbs and flows throughout the season is to be expected, but the past 2 months has been so nice to watch these two in Carolina. Lara has not looked his typical self. He rarely has hitless games but is on the verge of 4 hitless out of 5. Since his injury he had his game winning game back, bit otherwise only 2 hits in 5 games now. Relax grasshopper I know, but I want him to just dominate and move up to AA by end of year, and yes my expectations are too high.

    I may be starting to relent and give in to the Misiorowski to the ‘pen crowd. I am having Nick Neugebauer flashbacks here - granted I never really watch him pitch in the minors as MiLB.TV didn’t exist them, but his stats were all over the place - great outings, poor outings, wild outings and IDK outings….. ‘Brewers seem to be better at developing guys without incredible stuff and getting a few great seasons out of them pitching. Woodruff and Burnes were the rare “have stuff” and “developed well” as far as starting pitching.
  13. biedergb
    The other thing to consider is that like with pitching (ie velocity) you can have outliers on both sides. Pitching - great velocity or elite spin, but no command or other quality pitches, and they can fail even in relief role. Or have all the tools and still not succeed. In the flip side you can have guys who don’t pitch hard or have elite spin and succeed. But velocity or spin are more likely to predict success, not will predict, but higher correlation. Exit velocity (launch angle, or barrel rates) are more correlated with success as hitters, although those without higher EV or those launch angles etc will succeed but less likely to do so. Black does things well like pitch recognition and contact thus higher BB rates and lower K rates. But he will likely need to add more launch angle or EV to be more consistent at the mlb level, and “outliers” like Paredes show how. But I agree we can’t assume Black will just produce like him. Hopefully his bat and power will improve with LA or EV without taking away what he does best.

    Wilken absolutely crushed the pitch 2 pitches earlier that he was just early on and it went foul left. Then another healthy cut, and just got a decent swing but got under that pitch to right CF. I think timing or vision is slightly off on him with that mask, he just hasn’t seemed to connect or time his barrel right. Hoping it’s something that gets better. He was barreling up more regularly last year.
  15. biedergb
    Yoho needed 21 pitches. gets 4 K. Locks down the final 2 innings. He looks so good. Final Shuckers win 7-2. A series win, wow!! And B. Rodriguez went out for his 3rd inning of relief, with a 1-2-3. It is ninth inning time in Charleston.
  16. biedergb
    Mudcats get an insurance run with a Yophery sac fly. Hit hard to RF again, just under it a little otherwise would have been XBH #3. DiTuri caught stealing, so it is 7-2 in Charleston, with B. Rodriguez trying to hold on. You would think Austin or Rivero in later if the lead holds? In Montgomery, a sac fly by EMJ gets another run in. 4 walks by Evan Reifert (former Brewer farmhand), and bases loaded, with only 1 out.
  17. biedergb
    Yoho just flithy. 2 K's - working around a one out hit. But Ks the next two guys to keep in 6-2, and head to top of the 9th. FLipping back over to Mudcats who looks like they have a man on and looking for more....
  18. biedergb
    Yeah that top 3 in the line up with DiTuri, Rodriguez and Pratt. If/When Baez comes back that is 4 teenagers with offensive potential. Remember that Baez is only 6 months older than Rodriguez. Speed kills for the lineup as a double steal with Garcia swiping second, and Pratt takes home, so it is 5-2 Cats now. Biloxi still clinging to a 6-2 lead now in the 8th.
  19. biedergb
    Biloxi gives up a run in the 7th. Merkel cruised in the 6th, and stumbles in the 7th. Now Childers in. While in Charleston, Mudcats are making some noise with single, triple (YRod), single, single. And it's 4-2!
  20. biedergb
    And Henderson is dealing. 65 pitches (season high), through 5 with only 4 hits and 1 walk, with 3K. Very nice start to his AA career. Still 5-0 Shuckers. I would suspect last inning for Henderson as he ramps up still. Carolina still 2-2 in the 3rd.
  21. biedergb
    White flag in Nashville. Old friend Hernan Perez on top pitch the bottom of the 8th for Louisville. and they score 2. So at least a run scored in every inning. Wow that’s impressive. And Carolina has a fast start with 2 run first, but Timmerman gives up a single, double and wild pitch and on a grounder it’s tied 2-2 Meanwhile in Montgomery, Warren homers to extend the lead to 5-0. On to the bottom of 4.
  22. biedergb
    Yup. Surprisingly no problems, who knew??
  23. biedergb
    Meanwhile it appears Chad Patrick is dealing, 90 pitches thru 7 IP with 9K and 0 BB! And the Sounds offense has scored a run in each of the first 7 innings 😳. 12-2 Sounds with bases loaded in bottom of the 7th. And good start to his AA debut for Logan Henderson. Given a 4-0 lead in the first. Yes you read that right, Shuckers score 4 in the 1st (Campbell hit a 3 run HR). Henderson gives up 2 hits in the first but worked around it. A walk in the second, but huge strike out on a 94 mph heater high in the zone ends the 2nd. 2 innings so far, granted very early, but Biloxi doesn’t score much that often let’s hope they keep it up.
  24. biedergb
    Man Tayden Hall is just starting to figure out high A I think. He’s had some hits. His first HR yesterday, and with the bases loaded he hits a big fly out to LF to score the winning run. Very good at bat against a lefty pitcher, fought it off to get a big fly out. What a win by the TRats. Huge comeback!!
  25. biedergb
    Yes sir! big comeback. Tied 5-5. Still no outs. And ORae at 3rd as the winning run.
