Taveras walked 3 times, that’s a pretty good sign.
Thanks.
I was just about to look that up. Was wondering why he only had 2 ABs.
Remember when Kobe Bryant was getting a ton of shit for shooting too much and not involving his teammates, and then took one shot the entire first half in a playoff game. I think Oscar might be taking a page from his book and refusing to swing the bat ;)
Rosenthal seems to have hit a wall here in the latter part of the season. I see he only pitched 32 innings last year. Arm fatigue?
Not an excuse, but he has been sick the past week. No question worst outing of the year. He has had other outings where he didn’t really get lit up but gave up runs – not the case last night as the play by play has “lined” all over it (as in “lined out”, “line drive single”, etc.). This is his first season of full season ball, but based on radar readings, etc., I don’t see that he has been getting a dead arm. To my knowledge he hasn’t been partying, so maybe he needs to hang out with Miller some to help fend of the bug! (it’s a joke people). He may need to evaluate his diet, vitamins, etc. to help stay healthy. But I will take a cold/flu bug over arm or back issues!
He has 2 or 3 more starts before the play-offs. I suspect his adrenaline will return at that time. But it would be nice to see another solid start or two in the meantime.
The ESPN Insider write up by Jason Churchill of each team’s draft signings states, “One steal could be 31st rounder Kevin Jacobs out of Georgia Tech, who once sat in the mid-90′s with his fastball. If the Cardinals can fix his mechanics, he may be a late-inning relief prospect that hits the big leagues quickly.” His last two games, including last night have been encouraging regarding his control. Churchill mentioned 2b Kevin Medrano (14th round) as someone the Cards may regret not signing.
I think his success is more a question of velocity than control. Is he throwing in the high 90′s like he was as a college Jr. ?
Rosenthal has had 2-3 very solid starts prior to last night’s, but I agree, innings bump may be catching up with him
Seth Maness promoted from Batavia to PB. I doubt Boone Whiting is a happy camper.
They’re keeping that QC team together for the playoff run. I doubt any of the QC guys are surprised.
He is also a year older than Whiting. I don’t know what the rules are on adding players for the play-offs, but I wouldn’t have minded seeing Maness moved to QC if it was possible. There are definitely options to make room in the bullpen, but they may have wanted to get him some starts. If so, then PB would be the move.
And my guess is Boone whiting would still rather be in PB!
Well, I won’t speak for Boone. However, if it was me, if my choice is going to PB for what? Max. 3 starts? Vs. a chance at another ring with many of the guys I played with last year? I am going to opt for the chance at the ring.
That doesn’t even take into account that going to PB at this point in time is the equivalent of a 3 week roadtrip. At this point, I don’t think there is anything he could do at PB that would affect where he starts next year.
So, why you may be right, there are plenty of reasons to doubt it.
Is Ryan Jackson starting to fill out and hit for more power? 10 hrs and 30 2nd is a big improvement or is it just the Springfield effect? Better than Cox’s 8 hrs and 25 2nd. Should I be happy about Jackson or worried about Cox?
Don’t know…
but it seems like every game he gets a hit or two…
Its the Springfield effect, basically every single guy we have sees a big boost in his power numbers once moving to the Texas League.
And players are more than just there power numbers. Pham has improved his complete game and you can’t just write that off to the Hammonds Effect.
Sorry Andrew this park and league makes everyone look like better hitters, Pham has a .925 OPS here vs a .708 career boosted by that big TL number and his OPS per level is as follows.
.664 in RK
.588 in LoA
.683 in A
.690 in HiA
.925 in AA
Its not the players fault they have to play here but stats have been getting inflated in Springfield since day one, just go to baseball-reference and look back over the last 7 years and note all the big numbers.
look, it’s a park effect. it impacts a player’s game to a quantifiable extent. springfield has a 114 park factor on wOBA for lefties, and 106 for wOBA for righties. we don’t have to ignore success at springfield, just discount it properly. or just use wOBA* to control for park factors. springfield has a serious effect on wOBA, but not a magical one. jackson’s wOBA* is .338, with a wOBA+ of 98, which means he hits right about average for the league. for a shortstop, that’s very good.
You had me excited for a moment when you showed JC playing “Kingston”. Kingston is about 30 min away from me. Kingsport is about 90 min or so. Unfortunately, they were playing Kingsport….
very impressive comeback by the riverbandits yesterday..they trailed 9-2 and came all the way back to win it
Tyler Greene took over the Memphis lead in errors from Matt Carpenter despite only playing in 49 games or 62 less than Matt.
