Minors - 08/07
Matt Thompson: 5/3/2/1/0/1. 7:7 GB:FB. Tommy Mendonca continues to hit well, going 2/3 with a K.
HIC - 6:00 - Brigham LOOOOOOOOOOOOL DIRK
Brigham gave up a hit and a walk in 4 innings. No punchouts though. Martin Perez only went one, and per Ben Badler (hat tip to Scott Lucas), it's because they're starting to limit his innings. Perez was working 93-95 touching 96 in his one inning, meaning if I have my calculations right, he should be throwing around 110 when he's 21.
Kasey Kiker melted down in the 4th, ending up with a line of 3/7/6/6/2/4. He faced 6 batters in the inning, getting none out. Moreland: 2/5.
Chris Davis has three walks in the first 5 innings, I shit you not. Smoak's 0/3 though.

Should be a split start right?
Otherwise I’ll look for news stories tomorrow about an incensed male screaming Hector Ortiz’s name trying to bust into the Hickory locker room Prince Fielder style.
yeah, I'd bet Perez relieves him - if not ...
There’s a Dirkatron naked on the field!! He’s gnawing the head off a puppy!!
Nothing about a promo, right?

Kiker
just has strikeout stuff. 2 more Ks in the 1st.

What the hell?
Was there a rain delay in Hickory or something? Perez only pitched 1 inning.
the updated box score
shows he pitched two. I assume they’re concerned with his total innings this year.
I have him at 1 still.
Even if they’re concerned about his inning, it’s odd to have him come on for only one inning.
BA's Ben Badler on Twitter:
Hickory manager says Martin Perez pitching one inning of relief was planned before the game in attempt to limit his innings
and
I see no Tweets sent from my phone at the game came through. Martin Perez pitched one inning, sat 93-95 and touched 96

At the start I saw
he sat 93-94, hit 92 quite a bit, hit 95 a few times. Got down to 91 two or three times.
thats pretty darn solid

Davis 1-2 with 4 BB. That has to be a career high for him.

helps out that old K/BB ratio. He had been trending back until tonight
good stuff

jeez
Mendonca .455 in his last 10 games with a not so spiffy 13: Ks. He is the anti-Whittleman.

haha, if we could just combine those two
we’d have an uber good 3b prospect
