flavum Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Semien adds two walks. He's the s***. Garcia hit into DP, then 2-RBI single. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who are some fail comps to Semien? Guys with 1:1 or better in AA/AAA that doesn't translate up to mlb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fathom Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hawkins with 2 hits, including a homer. Seems to be making much better contact the last few games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thxfrthmmrs Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 (edited) I just made an observation. Everyone who's played in Double A B-Ham is having a career high or close to a career high in BB%. I am not sure if this is a factor of the park, the league, or hopefully the pitching staff, but the team as a whole is getting on base a lot. Guys like Semien and Dan Black posted ridiculous walk numbers, while others guys like Walker, Thompson, Jared Mitchell, Andy Wilkins, Saladino (especially last year), even Michael Blanke are posting the highest BB% of their career at BB. Then I tried to picture Courtney Hawkins eventually playing at Double A, and my mind just blew up.

Semien, when I interviewed him last week, specifically credited Gary Ward for some improvements in his approach. Gary's the hitting coach in AA.

I figured you mean the other teams' pitching staffs or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
