That was a 'Welcome back to Double-A' moment for RHP Harold Chirino. Another absolute hanger dead center from the Shuckers bullpen. Uncharacteristic and just yuck. Sigh. -
Gull dern it! LOL. I mean...this current Shuckers run very VERY much feels like a familiar story from their first half.
-
Don't listen to Kellerowl too closely on this. He's been pretty pessimistic on Flores since he arrived in Zebulon - even claiming he was going to get smacked around (which he clearly has not). He sits 86-87 and touches 88 regularly and touched 89 at Delmarva his past road outing (I actually emailed their announcer to get confirmation). He is shorter. But he is stocky. He has a thickness. Fun pitcher. BUT, as I said, he gets late movement on the heater. Still needs to add a few ticks there. He will live and die with his off-speed toolkit. The heater is a 'keep you honest pitch'. Hence, why I want to see the cutter. Remember, this is Low-A and we are projecting. I've loved what I've seen.
-
No worries. I don't rule this thread. It's for all of us baby. Plug away!
-
Smith just out here hanging absolute meat off-speed dead center. These balls are getting smoked. Men on 2nd and 3rd.
-
First batter absolute hanger ripped to LF for a single. 0-1 count. that was a poor pitch. Ruh roh I already know what happens here.
-
Sheesh. I'm entering the late innings and they are up 5-2 with LHP Russ Smith coming aboard. Yuck!
-
(I went outside to do farm chores and am way behind 😅)
-
Wesley Clarke extended his on base streak to 17 games. RBI's 43 and 44. That man loves a LHP.
-
LHP Aaron Ashby comes aboard and continues to throw the same filth he's thrown over the past three outings. My goodness. He is just bringing dirt to the mound in short relief stints in August. This is not an exaggeration. Everything is dialed unlike it has been commanded the entire season outing-to-outing. Sitting 95-96 mph on the sinker. Touching 97. BUT, the real story, for is the curve/slider and sprinkled change. He gets his second K in a row on pure nasty.
-
AND, Yerlin walks his lead-off batter in a 2-2 game to start his second inning of work. For a pitcher I like as much as I do in Rodriguez, he is an absolutely maddening young hurler with a massive set of uncontrolled tools.
-
Wichrowski has only thrown 42 pitches through 4 IP. We are looking at a possible career-high tonight if things go well. Also: he doesn't have a single K as of yet. His lowest tally of his season was 1 K in 5 IP back on May 10th. Shuckers lead 4-1 in the top of the 5th frame - Miller just K'd swinging.
-
LOL. I was thinking about that tonight. I don't think the sample size is large enough? What I can say in having watched 3-of-4 outings in Carolina: he has filthy off-speed stuff. He has a legit one-two punch curve-change. The heater has some subtle late movement. I'd love to see him develop a cutter. Said it earlier tonight. would love to see him develop a cutter and add a few ticks on the heater. If he can do that? I'm a big time believer. What we can say this early: he is certainly allowing way fewer hits in Low-A than he was in the ACL. Was it a fluke? Hard to tell. I've seen those ACL game logs and box scores change shape and appearance inning-to-inning. I just don't take the peripherals all that seriously. BUT, when a guy strikes out as many batters as Flores did? You and I both know: that matters and it typically translates.
-
It has been an absurdly rough season for INF Ethan Murray. Let us all share a sublime moment of Zen:
-
Yerlin escapes - he gets a K swinging on an off-speed pitch well off the plate. Whewww. Two K to escape futher damage. Is it ever easy with Rodriguez? Rarely. The answer is rarely.
-
I have been waiting for that hit literally ALL season. LOL. 😅
-
OMG!!! Ethan Murray has entered the chat! His first long ball of 2024. My sweet Prince. He smoked a two-run jack over the LF wall. Absolutely crushed. My MAN! Thank you!
-
Yerlin gives that lead right back. Gives up a 104 mph long ball over the RF wall facing his first batter. Oh Yerlin will you ever stack outings? Sigh. 2-2 game. Just like that. Hung a heater. That ball was torched.
-
RHP Garrett Stallings strikes out the side in the 5th. Stallings, actually, has pitched extremely well in August. I will not let this go unnoticed! Oh NO I shall not!
-
You are extremely welcome! My pleasure. Our pleasure.
-
Chirinos follows with another two out XBH - a one hope dub off the LF wall (bounced on the warning track dirt).
-
Man he absoutely sat on that and crushed it, huh? Glorious.
-
Meanwhile, Wichrowski went 3-up and 3-down after the Shuckers reclaimed the third inning 2-1 lead. On to the 4th.
-
Oh Boy. Hedbert just absolutely hammered a solo bomb over the RF wall. Absolutely crushed that ball. LOVE IT! 2-1 T-Rats baby.
-
This is Patrick's shortest stint since early April. A death by paper cuts. 3 IP and his day is done. His command was not all that crips despite 40 strikes in 64 pitches - too much plate in 0-2 counts.
