BMac was #10 on the BA Hot Sheet. The little blurb on him says it all.

 

Last time McCarthy lost: June 5. Last time McCarthy walked more than three batters in a game: I don't know, as I don't have his high school game-by-game logs readily available — he's never done it as a pro.

Thanks alot Randar, by the way, welcome to the boards. You know alot about the Barons and thats a big asset to this board.

:chair Rex is the man for the Barons. I joined here a couple weeks ago to get away from the trolling bulls*** at WSI, but that got all dumped when jason blew the upgrade! :P ,

I've got another question for anyone. What is Brandon's strikeout pitch? Fastball? Curve? Is it his control?

Curveball, but he uses the fastball out of the zone equally well when ahead in the count. He throws an occassional cuttter and change and those just basically scare the heck out of hitters considering his other pitches and control... The change has a chance to be a real weapon if he gains enough confidence in it to use it more than just 3-8 times per start.

Ya, I sure messed up the board two days ago didn't I randy, lol.

 

Was listening and Bmac sounded sharp, but your right, he is going a bit deeper. I think one thing he's doing, although I could be wrong, is trying to waste a few more pitches. I know REx mentioned he thought he didn't waste enough pitches.

 

Its hard to tell though just by listening to the broadcast.

7th inning:

 

bMac strikes out first batter on 3 pitches or a 1-2 pitch, 1 out

pop-up foul to right side on first pitch, 2 outs

Gave up line-drive single to LF on 0-2 pitch, Martel butchers it in LF, and hitter moves to 2nd base.

ahead of next hitter 0-2, ends up striking him out.

 

7 IP, 9 K's, 2 BB's, 4 h's, 1 WP, 1 ER (HR)

IMO, pitchers shouldn't "waste pitches". throw pitches out of the zone? Definitely, but that has tot be done in coordinationo with your pitching sequence in an attempt to oget the hitter to swing at an un-hittable pitch.

 

IMO, that's the role he should be using his change and cutter in. He uses the curve when ahead too often (throws it in the dirt) and better hitters pick it up early enough to lay off and make him throw another pitch or 2.

Damn, thats a pretty nice line.  I hope he keeps up strong in BHAM.  He's gonna have a shot next year, although I'm hoping the Sox sign someone and maybe he'll step up over Garland at one point in the season.

Any chance he could start next season for Charlotte Jason? It'll be interesting to see who are starting for the Knights and Barons opening day next season to say the least.
