To make this thread less lonely
Rookie team lost their playoff game, score was only 2-3, but the offense had 7 baserunners and struck out 13 times. In contrast, the rookie Dodgers had 6 walks and 9 hits.
good thing nobody really cares.
Fuck the Dodgers
Bunch of fucking thugs they are.

Only hit was a HR but an impressive 10:0 groundball to flyball ratio for the game.
That looks like the Seattle pitchers line from last night.

The late inning tandem of Kyle Hendricks and Matt West shuts in down – those two combine this year:
56 2/3 innings pitched, 43 hits (3 HR, all by West), 5 walks, 70 Ks

12-pitch AB for the first batter against Perez tonight...
Batter fouled off 7 pitches and Perez walked him. Looks like it could be one of those nights for him where we wonder if he didn’t peak two years ago.

Roman Mendez
as a reliever, he has 2 walks and 16 strikeouts in 10 innings.
His fastball + slider vs. sally hitters + once through the lineup = unfair
"If the Saints can reach the Superbowl, the Rangers can reach the World Series." - PhilKid

Unless he is a PTBNL
in one of the trades, I think the Rangers have to protect him from the rule 5 draft. Someone would nab him.
West is also rule 5 eligible, right?
Looking on the web
Rule 5 guys and Minor Free Agents located in a non-updated list here
I expect the couple PTBNL’s are on here. I think we’re guaranteed to protect NeRa. I would think we’d either trade or protect West and Mendez. Most everyone else probably is safe, though someone might pick Butler (due to proximity) or Telis.
I didn’t realize Yan was a minor league free agent. He has posted really good numbers in relief.
I'm gonna update it...

wow
Robbie Ross makes one easily forget some guy named….. what was the the name of that little lefty at Frisco the Rangers traded?
Kyle Hendricks (previously setup man for Spokane) gets a Frisco start
Gets 4 groundballs on 6 pitches for the first inning. Unfortunately one of them was a hit and later scored after a stolen base.
Frisco will try to hit against Sonny Gray
Hendricks throwing a lot of off-speed pitches
Announcers gives a gun reading of 90 mph on one fastball (don’t know how accurate this is). They also say he supposedly has a good changeup.
The same gun is reading 94 for Sonny Gray
struck out 3 Riders in 2 innings so far, but also walked 2
Gets in a bases loaded trap in the third, but Ivy Leagues his way out of it without giving up a run
Done after 3, 4 hits, 2 walks, 2 Ks, 1 run. Three of the hits on ground balls. 55 pitches, 35 strikes (63.5%) and 4 swinging strikes (7.2%). Nothing spectacular, but not too bad for a short-A to AA jump.
Announcer said Steve Buechele raved about Hendrick’s changeup, supposedly already one of the best in the system. Don’t know how much stock we should put into that.
Hendricks
Almost emailed Lucas when I saw him as the AA starter, figured I was mistaken.

It took Matt West almost five years to get to high-A where his opposition is Miles Head
West does his best to catch up by getting him on a flyout.

@Pelicanbaseball
MyrtleBeachPelicans Congratulations to Jared Prince and Robbie Ross, today named by their MB peers as #Pelicans’ Most Valuable Player and Pitcher in 2011.
Prince has certainly been one of the under-the-radar guys this year. Will be interesting to see how he does in AA next year.

Buckel has a full four-pitch assortment, complementing his fastball (Davis notes that he “can run it up there at 94 but knows he’s more effective locating it at 91-92”) with an effective curve, a changeup, and, according to Davis, a cutter that’s morphed into a slider, and he commands all of it at an advanced level for a teenager.

I haven't been around much lately. That's insane.
I did a double take when I looked at the box score. If he gets another start in the playoffs and does something similar, has he changed anyone’s opinion of him? He adjusted surprisingly well to AA.
#'s for Ross since being promoted to AA
44 IP | 34 H | 14 R | 12 ER | 5 HR | 9 BB | 48 SO
His 4 BB almost doubled the 5 BB he had given up in his first 38 IP in AA.
He's making it harder for me to meh at him.
But meh at him, I will.

The Hickory radio guy is arguing that the Crawdads should position an extra player behind the catcher.
I think only the player can position himself in foul territory by rule, eh? I remember Keith Hernandez getting grief from umps for standing with one foot in foul ground when he covered first base with a runner on.

I’d have to see that. He’d have quite a large frame for a second baseman.

2 – Curveball, groundout to 1B
40 pitches, 23 strikes (57.5%), 5 swinging strikes (12.5%)

A lot of groundball “singles” that Marteen gives up are self-inflicted by the defense, those two, however, are real groundball singles
marteen done, Scheppers in

1 – Fastball, ball, in the dirt (96)
2 – Fastball, called strike, high in the zone

4 – Infield single, a little tap that Scheppers fields; alas he drops the ball

1 – Fastball, foul
2 – Fastball, foul
3 – Curveball, ball, outside and high
4 – Curveball, line drive to RF that RF couldn’t quite make the play on, he picks up and throws to SS, who couldn’t catch the ball to tag out the runner
That curveball looked like it was right in the middle of the zone
Batter 4 – R
1 – Fastball, ball, high
2 – Fastball, bunted foul

4 – Curveball, missed bunt again, another sexy curveball

Everything is up, threw some good looking curveballs, but a couple that stayed in the middle of the zone
Marteen, 5 IP, 5 hits, 3 walks, 5 Ks, 3 runs
I’d say that there were 3 real hits.
Thanks for charting that...
I wasn’t able to catch the game last night so that was nice to have.

Sean O'Sullivan, frustrated with his inability to crack the KC rotation after failing to crack the Angels rotation
takes his anger out on the RR lineup – just lost a perfect game in the 7th on a Walk to the fearsome Guilder Rodriguez, no hitter still in tact through 7 IP.
