5/13 Minors Thread - The ascension of William Matt Thompson

PrintThe wonderful reference maintained by his eminence, The Mushroomed One.
In Hickory, the hotter-than-anyone-not-named-Holland Matt Thompson pitches today at 6:00.
Bakersfield features Michael Main tonight at 9:15.
Kiker was feeling generous today for Frisco. 88 pitches got him through just 3.2IP, 4R, all earned, 5 walks, a hit batsmen, just 2 strikeouts.
His 3rd inning was pretty foul: ground out, ground out, single, runner advances to 2nd on wild pitch, hit by pitch (K. Clemens), wild pitch advances runners to 2nd and 3rd, walks J.R.Towles, German Duran single plates 2. Popup.
Teagarden had a passed ball in the 4th, but with Kiker having control issues I'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt on this one. Tea went 3 for 4 with a 2B and one K.
Ballard goes for OKC at 7.

Bad karma from T for not putting any hate rapes on AJM in the title.
Blame him.

So, Kiker knew I wouldn't do that
hours before I posted? No, dude, it’s more like I was so upset at Kiker’s suck I couldn’t bring myself to fathom baseball rapes.
Kiker has sucked this year.

Kiker's Suck is very powerful.
It can detect disturbances in the AJM Hate Rapes before they even occur.
Yes.
The Suck is very strong in this one.

but it hasn't always been
this has fucking come out of nowhere. He’s basically fucking Tom Diamonding us.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
I remember Z said during Spring training that one or more of these
farm arms we all love would fall to an arm injury this season – just the way it works.
Kiker looks like candidate number one.
I never loved Kiker
so if he’s the one, cool. Could be much worse.

I never loved him either...
but shit, I didn’t expect a tanking of this magnitude.

This reeks of injured pitcher sydrome to me, but I haven't heard anything about it so far.
I wouldn’t do any being surprised rapes if hes announced as having some sort of major injury

I don't understand this
“Tea went 3 for 4 with a 2B and one K”
Thank you Houston for drafting Jason Castro.
What did you type?
On my comp it just showed up as:
I don’t understand this
"* [FATAL WEB BROWSER ERROR, Code 14.7: COULD NOT POSSIBLY HAVE HAPPENED] *"

You need your fuckin' time zone recalibrated, that's all
RangerMad logic does not cross time zones.

Mike Hindman has posted some observations on Kiker's start over at BBTiA
It’s not positive: http://www.bbtia.com/home/2010/5/13/impressions-from-a-frisco-game.html

That was even more damning
than the box score and reports above indicated. Mid-80s velocity with no control? Eh, anyone still think we shouldn’t have drafted Drabek?

bouncing balls in the dirt, consistent 80s on the scoreboard gun readout
just turrible

Kiker
2009 mid-season MJH top 5
I went back and looked at the pictures I took yesterday
And it’s pretty clear his arm is coming way across his body after his delivery every time.
It’s hard to tell about max effort from the pictures though because he’s always looked like he’s huffing and puffing after and during pitches.

How dare you
blame me for anything that great big bag of suck named Kiker does. And have I mentioned he pitched before I posted? No one will ever find out I put BenGay in his jock this morning.

yep

Bah, a minor blip
did you expect every start to be spotless and pure?

today's minor league games have sucked ass
I blame it on Lennon.
What is this, Horseville? Because I'm surrounded by naysayers.
Ugh
@Erik_Manning Shelby Miller has 49 strikeouts in 29 innings so far. Yup, he’s pretty good.

I can poop that many strikeouts
screw Shelby Miller and last year’s pick
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Moreland, Boggs
Moreland 3-5 with 2 doubles and a walk.
Boggs 2-4, triple and two walks
