Minors 4/29

by kevzta on Apr 29, 2008 9:05 PM CDT

Blake Beavan made his debut tonight and a very good debut at that. 6 IP 3H 3K 0BB. You can't ask much more out of a 1st rounder. Frisco's offense is amazing, with 6 guys hitting above 300 with Gentry at 291. Ben Harrison has three hits again. Hunter and Hurley both pitch late games tonight.

Oh the incredible powers of the word limit. By the way, this town is now a hockey town until august and september, probably until july with mini and training camp for the cowboys.

That is great to see

I just got my Lucas report about Blake Beavan. I hope this is a start of something very good along with Main and Neil Ramirez.

sheesh

That must have been one filthy slider. Great news.

Unfortunately...

...the Clinton announcer isn’t big on describing pitches, so I don’t have a good feel for Beavan’s pitch selection. Also, Great Lakes has a really terrible offense, but it’s still a great debut.

I like Ramirez a lot...

at least from the video I’ve seen on him. Ball jumps out of hand, really gets on hitters quick. His mechanics look kinda risky, but nothing that can’t be cleaned up.

Nice start!

Harrison is 4/4 so far tonight with 2 2B leading off for Frisco.

...and curse Sir Walter Raleigh, he was such a stupid git.

JMJ

Junior Mayberry gets the call up to OKC to fill in for Brandon Boggs. So far so good as he’s 1-1 and Boggs is 2-2.

Tommy Hunter is a bad man.

Just struck out the side in the 8th.

Freakin' rag-arm Whittleman threw a ball away in the 9th

costing Hunter a shot at the CG shutout. Whit ticks me off.

Hurley

Quality Start

6IP 5H (all singles) 3R 3ER 4BB 5K’s

Leads AAA in strikeouts.

The runs he gave up were very weird.

1st run was a sac fly.

The other two were with bases loaded and two outs a fisted, looping single over the out stretched hands of the first baseman scored two runs.

Threw very well. HIs last three outings have been VERY promising.

With Jennings all but out, do you give him his chance now? Not sure if it’s such a bad idea.

Hurley

is Rick Helling. He’ll likely be a 200 inning 4.50-4.75 ERA guy in his prime, solid, dependable, valuable. Some are going to be disappointed if they expect him to be an 18-game winning, 3.00 ERA monster.
