The system went 2-for-4 overall. Memphis featured a nice pitching performance and a pair of pitchers make debuts at levels.
- Adron Chambers was 2-for-4 with a walk.
- Steve Hill was 0-for-2 but walked twice.
- Bryan Anderson was 2-for-4 with a double.
- Memphis managed 6 walks to go with their 6 hits.
- Tyler Lyons was dominant striking out 7 in 6 innings. He allowed 5 hits and 1 walk for 1 earned run. Lyons has had some terrible luck this year with a 2-7 record despite an excellent K:BB ratio. One interesting note is that Lyons has gone from being a groundball pitcher in Springfield to a flyball pitcher in Memphis. Lyons has struck out nearly a batter an inning this season.
- Jess Todd struck out 2 in his inning of work. He allowed 1 walk and 1 hit.
- Jorge Rondon, in his 4th game for Memphis, struck out 2 and picked up the save.

Seeing what C.J. McElroy is doing makes me wonder what Charlie Tilson could be doing. If you remember, before Tilson got hurt, there was an article where (I believe) Vuch was raving about Tilson in extended Spring Training and said he may start higher than they would have expected.
Sam Freeman also pitched a scoreless inning 1H 1BB 1K. Freeman has a 16 inning scoreless streak dating back to July 4th.
Carlos Martinez owns a 57.0% groundball rate in 10 starts at SPF, ever since the organization made his delivery less violent he’s became more of a groundball pitcher and he now owns a modest K rate of 18.4% and he’s also cut down on his walks 6.3% walk rate in 10 starts for SPF. That’s a sign of polishing up wonder if his K rate goes back up after another change in approach settles in.
Adam Ehrlich continues to impress with the bat now 15-for-29 AB .517 AVG 1 HR 5 RBI small sample size of AB but good to see the offense is coming around at the plate still realy like his catch and throw ability.
Does Bryan Anderson give a F*ck anymore? Poor guy is nowhere close to what he did last year. Mo should have mercy on him and just trade him to Houston already.
“Not giving a f*ck” is not a direct correlation of poor performance. I would agree that Bryan Anderson is a non-prospect for the most part at this point, but questioning a kids will without any sources besides his stats is irresponsible.
No need to dump Bryan Anderson. He came very close to making the team out of spring training. Anybody could have had a mental let down after that.
I feel really bad for Bryan, they keep him on in case they need him in a pinch. He is forever blocked, he may not be ML starting material but he could be a back up for sure on another team.
seth maness has 71 strikeouts and 7 walks with springfield. more attention needs to be paid.
