August 15, 20241 yr Author I thought Eder could have gone another inning, but he's done after 81 pitches: 5IP, 3ER, 3H, 4BB, 5K. 16 whiffs. Could maybe have saved a run or two if not for getting burned by steals early (6SB in the first 2 innings). Perez is catching. Only two baserunners over his final 3 innings, both walks, one picked off and one caught by a GIDP. Peralta threw 2 perfect innings in relief. Gus Varlard (LAD waiver claim) also threw a perfect inning. Coffey threw a not perfect inning, loading the bases in the 9th...but he danced out of it without allowing a run. As for the position players: Colas 1-4 with a 2B and RBI but 3K. He also made a poorly advised throw from RF that nearly allowed the go ahead run to score in the 9th. Elko also 1-4 with a 2B and 3K. Montgomery, believe it or not, also 1-4 with a 2B (but only 1K for him). Ramos 0-3 with a BB. Game is headed to extras tied at 3.
August 15, 20241 yr Author Kanny had the tying run at the plate in the 9th, but ultimately dropped their game 5-2. Perkins has pretty nasty stuff. IF defense was a little lackluster, there were a couple "hits" that felt playable. Wolkow was 2-3 with a BB and no (!!) strikeouts. 8 hits for the team, only 1 for extra bases (a Jeral Perez double).
August 15, 20241 yr Author Aldrin Batista is maybe the most underrated acquisition of the past two years? He's been ridiculous since his well deserved promotion to WS, with 15K in 9IP across his first two starts at the level. Rosado (DeJong return) followed him up with two scoreless, and Pallette finished the last 2IP of the shutout for his second save. 12K to just 1BB for the staff. WS won 2-0. It was a little revenge for Bergolla (Banks trade) vs. the Philly A+ club, since he scored one of the runs and knocked in the other. There was a scary moment when he got accidentally drilled in the helmet by the catcher trying to throw to 1st while he was at the plate, but he stayed in the game. Nishida was 2-4 with a BB.
August 15, 20241 yr Author If Bastita has competition for being the most underrated acquisition, it's maybe Juan Carela. He breezed through 6IP/0ER tonight on a bunch of weak contact early in counts. The Barons also threw a shutout, with the Smith-Njigba's first inning HR enough to secure the 1-0 win. Neither team did much offensively otherwise, the game was a quick one.
August 15, 20241 yr Pallette's turnaround is almost unbelievable. ERA as a starter 7.48. ERA as reliever 0.67.
August 15, 20241 yr It's like someone teleported this guy from the 1950's, and I am here for it. Hopefully he has some Kwan in him and this works at the upper levels.
