scenario Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Looks like Kanny is rained out and will play a double-header Saturday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caulfield12 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 (edited) There's a rain/weather delay in CLE right now, too. Very convenient, as the Blue Jays just took the lead in the last inning, 4-3, now with one out in the top of the 5th...oh, well. Adam "Chico" Lind already has 3 homers this season. BTW, Asheville is one of the prettiest settings of all minor league baseball...make sure to check out the Biltmore Estate while you're there, too.

Just took a quick look at the history... I didn't realize that the Biltmore estate is the largest home in the US. Interesting.

NorthSideSox72 Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Dash spot Carter 3 in the first, but so far Carter has walked 3 guys in his first 2/3 of an inning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) Bailed himself out with a strikeout after walking the bases loaded. Now he has himself a nice game going. 5-0 Dash in the 5th. Danks and Logan Johnson with homeruns. Edited April 11, 2009 by scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Disappointing night for Dexter Carter. 5 innings, 3 earned, 10 base runners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be Anthony Carter, not Dexter. I guess Anthony is somewhat of a decent prospect in his own right though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Anthony is somewhat of a decent prospect in his own right though. Yes. It was AC not DC. And it really wasn't a bad outing considering. He walked the bases loaded in the first inning, so 3 of his 5 walks came there... and he pitched his way out of it without damage. And 3 of the 5 hits he gave up (and all of Kinston's 3 runs) came in the 5th. So spotty but not bad... 4 scoreless innings out of 5; 3 of those in which he pitched really well.

scenario Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Winston-Salem survived a bullpen meltdown to win 10-9. They entered the bottom of the 9th leading 10-4. Jordan Danks went 3 for 5. He was a single short of the cycle. He's an interesting stat: W-S had 11 hits tonight... 9 of them for extra bases. 5 doubles, 2 triples, and 2 homeruns. Morel, Logan Johnson, and Dale Mollenhauer each with 2 hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scenario Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) Charlotte won a rain-shortened game 5-3. Miguel Negron 2-3. Eider Torres 3-3. Javier Castillo 2-3. Whisler went 6 innings: gave up 3 runs on 9 hits; 2 K's and 1 BB. Russell had one inning of hitless relief.

McCulloch went 6 innings for the win: gave up 2 runs on 9 hits; struck out 3 and walked 1. Fernando Hernandez had 2 scoreless innings of relief... striking out 4. One scoreless inning for Derek Rodriguez. Another interesting note: Tyler Flowers stole a base. Edited April 11, 2009 by scenario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 For the statheads out here: Jordan Danks has a .500 BABIP in the minors. I'm scared for regression to the mean unless he cuts down on those strikeouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockRaines Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Why couldnt Logan Johnson be a player in the majors? He has hit as long as I've seen him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The strikeouts are really high and the BABIP is really high making it hard to imagine a complete turn around. I think his BABIP is high because when he is putting the ball in play, he's hitting it extremely hard. In other words, not seeing-eye hits that are the normal warning sign of impending regression.

Either he cuts down on the strikeouts or he's in trouble. That's all I'm saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearSox Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 It's been 49 AB's, nothing to get worried about, yet. He's been K'ing a lot, but that is something that can be cut down on. Give it time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen him enough yet to know if it's a plate discipline issue, an aggressiveness issue, etc. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'm not pushing the panic button on Danks. I'm just pointing it out. Something to watch. He could be pressing to add that power that scouts were surprised he didn't develop in college. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
