Rob Whalen gave up 2 runs in the first inning, one driven in by a productive ground out off the bat of Trey Michalczewski, the other on a solo shot by Keon Barnum. Birmingham is leading Tennessee after 5 innings in a game delayed by rain. Over 5 innings, Miles Jaye 2 runs on 5 hits, no walks, and 3 strikeouts.

bmags Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Hard not to love a pitcher at that age who gets in trouble because he doesn't know when not to throw a strike yet. Seems like he is a pitcher that as he learns to pitch will be a gamer. Trey seems to have hit a rough patch recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wsiskel Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 More on Tago: http://dashboard.mlblogs.com/2015/08/06/da...-major-success/ "Former Dash right-hander Peter Tago mainly used a curveball as a secondary pitch during his first four years of professional baseball after being drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the supplemental first round, 47th overall, in 2010. However, upon arriving to White Sox Spring Training in February after being taken in the Triple-A phase of the Rule V Draft, Tago worked with Dash pitching coach J.R. Perdew and Kannapolis pitching coach Jose Bautista to develop a slider. The results have been staggering: During the four years Tago spent in the Colorado system, lefties bashed him to a .276/.406/.408 tune. However, across Kannapolis, Winston-Salem and Birmingham this season, left-handed batters have only hit .211/.302/.276. “It’s just an easier pitch for me to throw as far as secondary to lefties,” said Tago, who was promoted to Double-A Birmingham on July 25. “It’s hard and it’s not easy to pick up out of my hand as compared to when I was throwing a curveball previously in my career. “It’s based off the fastball – I can throw it with the same arm speed and same arm action as my fastball, and that is what gets the hitter to commit.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still like to point at Tanner Mendonca in a similar fashion, as I've never seen a more dramatic turnaround. Check this out... 2013 Rk League (age 21) with MIN: 23.1 IP, 24 H, 22 ER, 37 BB, 23 K 2014 Rk League (age 22) with CHW: 21.1 IP, 16 H, 9 ER, 6 BB, 41 K I mean, look at the K/BB numbers. That's insane. He went back to GTF this June and was doing the same great stuff, but for some reason hasn't pitched since 6/30. Still on active roster. I'll have to send a note over there and see what's up. But regardless, that is a ridiculous turnaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wonder what they see in these guys that they like or think they can fix, Tago wasn't the first and won't be the last...CWS might not be able to develop any sort of productive hitter but they always pop out quality arms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to start trading some pitching depth to get hitters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
