I’m assuming Dalquist will be on the mound today.  If so, hopefully he’s better than he was last time out.

To be honest, that outing was better than most of his last year other than the 2 bombs. The strikeouts were there which is a very good sign. Hope he builds on it,

That’s fair, I actually thought his BB rate was higher than it was. 

Really wonder how the enforcement of the pitch clock is going effect a bunch of these young developing pitchers. Seems like it's something that isn't in their best interest? Though I imagine it might help some of these guys who overthink it? Turn off your mind and throw your pitch.

Dalquist with a quick 1st. 12 pitches 8 strikes. Had a nice strikeout on a fastball up in the zone, but also had a slider tattooed right at the first basemen. Showed his curveball as well.

Dalquist gives up an RBI double that just missed being a HR after a fielding error by Moises Castillo in the previous at bat. Also gets another strikeout with the high heater, and ends the inning with two infield ground outs.

Jared Jones is kinda nasty for the grasshoppers.

Dalquist getting hammered this inning after falling behind on batters. Two homers. One on a slider.

Games are currently down something like 25 minutes in time…2:38 from 3:03, thats a huge improvement.

Yup. But maybe not conducive to player development.

Despite the 2 homers that inning, Dalquist gets two more strikeouts. Both on the elevated fastball again.

It depends if they get something like 15-16 and 20-22 seconds instead of 14 and 18 (with runners on base) along with the automated strike zone at the big league level…those eventual changes have to be in the pipeline as they’re so obvious for cutting out 4 hour games.

Cespedes homers. Think I'm going to watch the Barons instead of the White Sox today after this lovely Velasquez 1st inning.

Maybe as players move up the minor league ladder, you could shorten the time between pitches. Arguing younger guys might benefit from a couple seconds more to process especially when guys are on base. As they move up and get used to what they are doing, they should process faster. 

 

 

 

Homer number 2 this game for Cespedes.

 

Also has two strike outs to go with those 2 homers.

Hey DirtySox thanks for all the updates!

Bryan Ramos not only puts up great stats but looks like a ball player. He’s a big kid that can run. If he’s still playing great for the next month or so move him up and bring colas with him.

Something tells me Ramos is going to end up being trade bait
