Milb Performances - 8/26

[Exposfan]

Aaron Hicks ejected early for Beloit.

 

[GAbballplayer148]

My boy Logan Schafer: um GRAND SLAM?!!

4/4, 3R, 5 RBI

That's the lead-off hitter folks

Cal Poly represent.

 

[jbone17]

Make that 72 for Anthony "Willy Mays Hayes" Gose.

 

[arod305]

Moustakas 2-4; 2B; 2 RBI's

Yep, we maybe seeing a late season surge. Hopefully, he can salvage this season and just start out hot in AA next year

MadBum is doing well through 5 -- 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K's

Fair i'd say, with a 4/9 GB/FB rate and few K's he's down my offseason list of top 50 prospects. In his last 34 IP he's K'd 21.

Honestly just an absurd comment. His k's are down because the giants are allowing him a limited number of fastballs per game. Have you looked at his era?

It's not really absurd to move him down in rankings. The Giants are limiting the number of FB's he can use because they think he still needs a lot of work on his secondary stuff, I'd imagine. Well, his K% is down by quite a bit this year, meaning he's still largely a one pitch pitcher, as he isn't as dominant when forced to use pitches other than his FB. He won't dominate big league hitters with his FB as nearly as much as he has minor leaguers. So if big leaguers can sit on his FB without much fear of another pitch, then he'll get hit if he remains a starter, and prospect lists are projections of major league success/value.

Your missing the point. Almost every minor leaguer needs work on their secondary stuff. When you limit someone's best pitch, they are obviously going to suffer. Now, just imagine what he would be doing in AA if he was using gas.

I realize minor leaguers are there because they're not ready, but I think you're missing my point. Who cares what he'd be doing if they Giants weren't limiting his FB's? That wouldn't make him a better pitcher, a better future big leaguer. The knock on him since the beginning has been he's almost all FB, little else. Well, his K% has dipped quite a bit while being forced to use and work on his secondary stuff, which tells me he's still very much a one pitch pitcher, to say nothing of him having to be forced at this point. So I have no problem with him beind dropped some in rankings.

Reynaldo Navarro; 2-4

 

[sheetskout]

I can't believe no one has posted about Chris Carter's AAA debut....

2-4 2B 4RBI !!!!!!! (game in 8th)

It's going to be super-fun to watch him, Cunningham, and Wallace for a few days....

Update: singled again!

3-5 2B 4RBI

This system is still loaded and Carter deserves to be a top-50 prospect at least.

Aaron Hicks ejected early for Beloit.

Phew ... wasn't sure why he had the early exit ... better than an injury! Must not have liked that 3rd strike call much ...

 

[johnny rook]

A fastball with good location and late movement in the zone is and always will be the best pitch in baseball. Three fastballs for a strikeout. Good morning, good afternoon, good night. Grab some pine.

Comcast aired the San Jose vs. Visalia game tonight. Thomas Neal hit his 21st home run to left center in the first inning. Neal ended up going 3 for 4 with 3 RBI (83 RBI on the season). Clayton Tanner pitched a good game going 7 innings allowing 1 ER, 3 H, 2 BB and 6 SO. Tanner showed a plus change up.

Cheers.

Really? His stats still make him a top prospect.

wow, opponents hitting .213 in AA ball, amazing.

His secondary stuff (limited fastball) has opp average at .213 in AA ball and a sub 2.00 ERA.

Seems to be doing well. Add in the fastball for a strike out pitch and your good.
