1549 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 I was looking at Birmingham's starting ptiching, and it has been dominating! Munoz: 4-0, 1.46 ERA, .74 WHIP, 9.38 K's per 9 IP Yofu: 2-1, 2.31 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 7.83 K's per 9 IP Phillips: 3-0, 2.45 ERA, 1.64 WHIP, 6.95 K's per 9 IP Meaux: 1-2, 3.68 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 8.59 K's per 9 IP Meaux's numbers really surprised me, because I always thought of him as a bullpen guy, but he has performed well through 4 starts.

Rex Hudler Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 That has been their strength surprisingly, since Honel and Wing have been down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Rex, since you've seen some Barons games....has their offense been as anemic as it looks like in the stat sheets? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Rex, since you've seen some Barons games....has their offense been as anemic as it looks like in the stat sheets? Let me start by saying I haven't seen as much baseball so far this year as I would like...... But as best I can tell, it comes and goes.... Morse has been hot (although he doesn't walk), Spidale has been solid, yet not great (but he does walk). Some of the older vets need to get their stuff together or they may be buying themselves a ticket out of town. Micah Franklin looks completely overmatched and has the absolute wrong uppercut swing for that ballpark. Yan has been pretty good after a slow start and can really run. Stewart has hit better than advertised. They are 12-10 and tied for first, so they haven't been too bad. But aside from hitting 6 HR's in a game a week or so ago, they aren't breaking any records.

Chisoxfn Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Hey Rex, just a general comment, but its just sick watching Yan run. His speed is amazing. I think his shoulder was effecting him, but he's definately picked it up thus far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JimH Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Rex, is Chris Stewart just on a hot streak in your opinion, or is he someone we should maybe start watching a little closer? He's always been pretty good defensively, the knock on him was his stick. Has he cut down on his swing or something? Looks like he's doing pretty well down there, and he's just turned 22 as I recall.

MnSoxFan Posted May 2, 2004 Share Posted May 2, 2004 Stewart is a big guy, or looked like it last spring training on minor league field. Looked to be about Fisk size damn near. He is our best defensive catcher in the minors, would be nice if he could hit. He just has to be able to hit .220 or so to be a good backup if his defensive skills are truly as good as I have read.

Rex Hudler Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Yep, Yan can fly. But so can Spidale. Barons had 8 SB's today to go with 13 hits and two Chattanooga errors and still could manage only three runs in 12 innings. That's sad. I'll have to get back to you on Stewart. I haven't really paid much attention to him at the plate. Speaking of sick...... Bajenaru is as close to automatic as it gets right now. Today, there was only one ball hit hard off of him and that wasn't creamed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 What do you think Baj's chances of getting promoted anytime soon if he keeps producing like this? He's gotta be doing better than Majewski. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MnSoxFan Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Word I hear is it may be a while for he and Wing. We can enjoy the other starters for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea what they will do with Baj. He should be in trips right now...... Things will shake out, they always do....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chisoxfn Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Honels eligible to come off, but it doesn't sound like him or Wing will be back anytime soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFanForever Posted May 3, 2004 Share Posted May 3, 2004 Honels eligible to come off, but it doesn't sound like him or Wing will be back anytime soon. That sucks, hopefully they have a pretty quick recovery and are able to get back on track pretty quick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
