Irv Carter with his pro debut today. Got touched up a bit, but also showed some swing and miss.

 

3.2IP, 4H, 3R, 3ER, 3BB, 6K

 

Through 3 innings and 2 batters he was 3.1 IP, 5 K, 2 BB, 2 hits, 1 run. Then perhaps ran out of gas against the final 4 batters.

 

Young pitcher running out of gas late in an outing making the line look worse that he probably pitched is completely acceptable IMO. Most of the outing was strong. Stamina will come but it's not a priority right now. Way more ideal doing it that way than consistently giving up a walk, hit and run every inning where you're just bad rather than having a reason for the marginal line.

[TwistedLogic]

Talent is diluted now because of the minor league level removal. Players are in that league that in last years would not have been pitching that high

 

wRC+ would adjust for that though, no? Everyone's facing the same level of competition generally.

[InsideThePark]

Tiedemann 5 IP, 9 K, 1 BB, 3 hits, 0 runs

 

Thews 84 pitches which is 8 more than the 1 start they pulled him due to pitch count which is interesting

[TwistedLogic]

Hayden Juenger tonight: 4 IP, 1 H, 1 BB, 5 K. 48 pitches.

 

Tanner Morris, who had no hits in his first two games in Triple-A, has two singles so far tonight.

 

Nathan Lukes 1-for-2 so far with a walk and a homer. Average up to .308.

 

Dahian Santos had his worst outing of the year: 3 IP, 4 H, 6 ER, 4 BB, 3 K. 65 pitches.

Oh man, he must have struck out the side in the 5th. I saw that he was on 6k after 4. What a performance.

He’s gonna move fast.

No, if the peer talent is generally worse then a great player will be relatively speaking even greater

[John_Havok]

wRC+ Is a great tool to use when the average player skill stays relatively the same from year to year. If the talent pool gets diluted heavily, the average skill level goes down, making wRC+ a less important measure.

Casey Lawrence with another good outing in triple a. 7IP, 5H, 0ER, 1BB, 7K.

[Krylian]

casey lawrence with another good outing in triple a. 7ip, 5h, 0er, 1bb, 7k.

 

aaaa

Why the f*** is Lukes not up with the MLB club? He has to be a better option than Zimmer, even if he's not AS good on defence.

[THANOS]

Yep. Let's say he hits .270 with average defense up here and a .750 OPS. That's better than what Tapia and Zimmer offer.

Whens his next start, Saturday?

 

I'd like to see him before he moves up, if he hasn't already by then lol.

Friday if they keep things as they have been

s*** its a double header, hopefully the second half.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Dahian Santos got knocked around yesterday.

 

3 IP, 4 hits, 4 walks, 6 earned runs, 3 Ks

 

Hopefully bounces back strong in his next outing

[Ehjays]

I cant agree with this comment enough, we traded a better pitcher than some of the scrubs they bring up from the minors for a guy with a worse bat than what we have already in the organisation

Zimmer was worth 1.4 WAR with an 89 wRC+ last year, his wRC+ is ***21*** this year. If he was hitting anywhere approaching his career numbers with his speed and defence, he'd be a nice bench piece, but we are not getting what anyone would have reasonable expected when that trade was made. It SHOULD have been an expendable arm for a good bench bat.

 

Castro's not having a good year either, his only not atrocious stat is his 3.30 xFIP, all the rest of his numbers are putrid (in only 6.2 MLB innings).

I agree he was "expected" to perform better but he is not. And we have a better option on the farm who deserves a shot ....time to move on from what should have been.

100% agree that he should have been jettisoned into the sun and replaced by Lukes weeks ago, just that it wasn't actually a bad trade with the information available at the time.

Well. It'll be a nice 6 seasons we get out of him.

Well because he hired Boras, we will now have to manipulate his service time so 6+ seasons

[Daniel Labude]

RBI single to left to start the day for Orelvis

[Eat My Shatkins]

Frasso today:

 

4 IP, 1 hit, 0 runs, 2 walks, 4 K's, 58 pitches, 39 strikes

[Dagagad]

Palmegianni and Nunez at single A are both kind of killing it. I wonder if one or both get the bump soonish. Maybe after guys from the FCL get promoted.
