Weird Hamburger splits

So, I'm looking at Hamburger's minor league numbers for this season...

In June, Hamburger had 12 Ks and 0 walks in 9 2/3 IP.

In July, Hamburger had 18 Ks and 13 walks in 17 1/3 IP.

In August, Hamburger had 10 Ks and 0 walks in 9 2/3 IP.

I find it odd that all his walks were in 1 month.

That's all.

Is there a game log somewhere?

I’d be willing to guess those walks all came in one or two games, or otherwise closely bunched together like that. Maybe he had a stretch of not getting laid for a couple of weeks and his forearm was sore because of it. ;)

That is odd...

and it wasn’t to start the year either. Right in the middle of 2 solid months control wise.

I wonder if he was working on some offspeed pitches or tinkering with his delivery.

So...

I went to the Elizabethton Twins’ Web site and found the box scores here.

My earlier theory about the walks being clustered together was pretty close to true. No word on the getting laid thing.

He had zero walks until July 11, when he walked two in three innings. His next appearance, July 14, he walked four in one inning. he had a walk-free appearance on the 18th, then had one-inning, two-walk performances on the 21st and 24th. He walked no one on the 25th, and then walked three in one inning on the 27th. He’s had zero walks since.

Sure seems like

that could be a temporary mechanical thing or something.

I find it odd...

…that the dude’s last name is Hamburger. Odd in a good kind of way.

I will never be able to get over that name.

Ever.

Pretty clearly the first time he has ever looked at a web site. "And there are readers' comments at the bottom! And advertisements for products! And best of all, I won a free iPod!"

I think

he ran into Mark Connor and he corrected a mechanical flaw and changed back after it didnt work.
