[John_Havok]

Not sure if mentioned yet, but Kloffenstein has to leave the game the other day when he took a 105 mph comebacker off the forearm/hand area. He had thrown 5.1 innings of no hit ball to that point when he was hit. No word on the severity of it.

Ahh damn that sucks, hope hes OK. Would be s***** to have another SP prospect go down

[spats]

Bonilla starting to heat up after a slow start. Average up to.296

[RustyTrombone]

Orelvis 3-3 with a 2b and BB yesterday. K rate continues to very good since early May. Looking less and less like just a hot streak and more like a hot streak AND significant progression in his offensive skills.

[Terminator]

Jays AA pitcher Alek Manoah is making his first ever start for the Fisher Cats right now. He was promoted all the way from the FCL after giving up 11 ER in 2.2 IP in one start for the FCL Blue Jays.

 

He's pretty fringe but the hope is that he can quickly work his way through the minors and become a solid back of the rotation option for the big league team.

So far 4 IP, 2 hits, 1 ER, 2 walks and 8 Ks.

The Ks are a good sign I guess

[Terminator]

Manoah was pulled after 82 pitches and 5 innings.

 

Final line is 5 IP, 10 Ks, 3 hits, 3 BBs and 1 ER.

[L54]

Nobody would have predicted that line for this start after the last one

 

Good stuff! I like the bulldog in him, hate the extra 60 pounds

Good to see as he has cooled off lately. The good news is he's still walking and not striking out much. 13.4 BB%, 19.3 K% on the season is really good to see.

[Terminator]

So my guess is Manoah moves up to Buffalo for his next start? If he looks good there they are going to put him back in the rotation after the ASB?

 

Not saying that's what I would do but it seems like they don't plan on him being down there for long as long as he looks ok.

Yeah definitely seems like the front office is eager to get him back up. Not sure why, we actually have a shot every start since he’s been gone.

[Terminator]

Another thing to note is that Manoah was having a tough time keeping base runners in check prior to being sent down.

 

The Sea Dogs were aggressive today and attempted 6 steals on Manoah but two of them were thrown out. They attempted another 3 steals after Manoah left and all three of them were successful.

 

So seems like he did at least somewhat of a good job with that too.

[Jonn]

3 walks in 5 innings. Seems like he's still having obvious command issues. I think I would rather Richards continue to spot start.

Yeah, I like seeing the Ks but Manoah shouldn’t be walking 3 guys in 5 innings at AA. Higher strikeouts can be predicted by just being more free swingers in AA than the majors. Command is still likely an issue.

Yeah the 10 Ks are nice but 3 walks against AA hitters ain’t great

I rather have him start a few more times in AA, yeah he may have corrected a few things but how engrained are they?

You dont practice till you get things right, you practice till you dont get them wrong ever again. Eating some humble pie and making him hungry isnt a bad thing....

oh weight we're talking Manoah here!

I don't think so, that'd be too aggressive, get him right, as others say too many walks still.

Ryu made his first rehab start today for the Florida Coast League team. His final line looks encouraging enough, I haven't seen any reports yet how his stuff looked yet.

 

3 IP, 4 H, O BB, 1 ER, 5 SO

Nice. He seems to be right on schedule for a return by the end of the month

Lol lets see if the front office know what they’re doing because we were all wrong…

We'll see.

It appears at a glance that Alex De Jesus hit for the cycle tonight. His line shows 4 hits, including a double, triple, and home run. Frasso has struggled tremendously in recent outings so with De Jesus heating up in recent days the sting of the White trade is starting to dissipate a little bit.

Orelvis went 1-2 with 3 walks last night.

[Eat My Shatkins]

I wonder if they let Orelvis continue to marinate in AA or if they bump him up to AAA soon? He's been mashing for 2 months now.

[Jonn]

Orelvis went 1-2 with 3 walks last night.

 

There has been clear signs of very good progression. If you throw out April he’s having an incredible season.

[AMS528]

There's no diminishing a BB% of 14 with a K% of 19 that comes with a lot of power. That's a substantial change to his batting profile. He's also hitting more line drives and popping the ball up less. Everything about that breakdown looks super positive.
