Biloxi might have the most formidable 7th, 8th, 9th inning pitchers in all of AA. Thompson, Chirino, and Uribe are absolutely dominating the competition this year. Today they combined to retire 9 straight with 7 SO.
Meeker gave up a HR to the first batter he faced and after that the bullpen retired 15 straight with 11 SO.
Harold Chirino pitching back to back days now for Biloxi. This makes me feel like it is something we should pay attention to. Chirino and Andrews are the only 2 RP to pitch on back to back days in the system so far and they have arguably been the 2 best RP in the system so far this season.
Agreed. Rea could probably pitch another inning with his pitch count, but no sense throwing him out there against Trout/Ohtani a 3rd time with an off day tomorrow.
Pitching has been phenomenal in the system so far. Bats have started slow especially in Wisconsin but I think it’s been a pretty good start everywhere else.
Keston Hiura walk-off infield single! Sounds win!
Unfortunately not all good news though. Ryan Middendorf having another tough inning. He came into the 6th inning with 0 outs inheriting runners on 2nd and 3rd. 3 singles and a passed ball later and 4 runs come across. 2 ER for Seminaris and 1 ER for Middendorf with 1 unearned run as well.
Lucas Erceg gets a timely double play and pitches a scoreless top of the 10th! Speedster Eddy Alvarez starts the bottom of the 10th on 2B with Taylor, Hiura, and Singleton due up. I'm feeling a walk off here!
Add another inning to that because he pitched 2 innings today. 4 G, 6.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 9 SO.
The 4 balls in play against him today were all poor contact and easy outs.
84.5 EV, -5 LA
100.0 EV, 41 LA
55.3 EV, -4 LA
94.1 EV, 55 LA
Ethan Small continues to stack good performances. That's 4 straight scoreless appearances. 5.1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 9 SO. He's starting to look like a guy who could pitch in the MLB bullpen.
Man Robert Stock has had a really rough start to the season. Basically getting shelled in every outing. They've let him start and pitch out of the pen. Not sure what is next for him at this point.
