Prospects Worldwide are at the Brewers ACL game tonight and have posted some Bitonti and Di Turi tape. I'll just link one of the tweets and you guys can find the others through that.
Definitely some positive pitching on the farm tonight.
Carlos F Rodriguez continues trending in the right direction. These last 4 starts from him are what we were expecting to get from him this year. Starting to put that bad start to the year behind him.
Logan Henderson didn't have a great line, but he was running the FB up to 97 a couple times and his stuff looked great. Didn't locate as well as we know he can, but with his stuff looking this improved and the command we know he has flashed he could have a big time prospect bump this year.
KC Hunt with 8 K's over 4 innings. I'm about to watch him pitch.
Knoth with 4 solid innings. The FB was looking great at the top of the zone and seemed like the curveball command was better than what I'm used to seeing. Nice 7 SO performance.
Great call by Murphy using Koenig as an opener. Boston has 3 LHH in their first 4 hitters who absolutely crush RHP and are bad against LHP.
Duran - 135 wRC+ vs RHP, 80 wRC+ vs LHP
Abreu - 149 wRC+ vs RHP, 41 wRC+ vs LHP
Devers - 187 wRC+ vs RHP, 81 wRC+ vs LHP
Yikes that's Biloxi baseball for you in the year 2024. They open the bottom of the 9th going single, double, single, triple to tie the game 4-4 with no outs. Murray, Warren, and Sparks then each strikeout with the winning run 90ft from home.
I'm going to need someone else's opinion but it looked like to me that DL Hall re-injured himself on one of his last 2 pitches in the first inning. Looked awkward and was cursing when walking back to the dugout.
Cardinals are playing some good baseball right now unfortunately. 2 innings away from being 7-2 since their series in Milwaukee and 2 innings away from sweeping the Orioles who haven't been swept in 2 years. Maybe they aren't quite dead yet.
Watching Craig Yoho immediately following Costello really emphasizes how nasty Yoho is. They have pretty similar pitch mixes and Yoho just gets so much nastier movement on his stuff. I really don't understand why this guy is still in A+ at this point.
Yerlin Rodriguez unfortunately continues to ride the struggle bus. It's 20 grade command with him these days. 4 BB in 1.1 IP today. He's up to 18 BB in 14 IP on the year.
I also was expecting Koenig to go 2 innings to give Blalock an extended time to warm up like he's used to doing. I don't think they option Koenig. Murphy thinks of Koenig as a middle reliever not a shuttle guy (which is fine because he's earned that role). Maybe they DFA White? Ross is likely going on the IL so they could just call up Herget or Junk instead. Then have Myers come up the next time Ross's spot is up in the order.
