Charlotte @ Durham, 6:05pm CT, no pitcher announced yet but looks like Hudson's (2-0, 3.27) turn

 

Jax @ B-Ham, 7:05pm CT, Cassel (0-0, 0.00) gets another start

 

W-S @ MB, 6:05pm CT, Griffith (2-0, 1.38) starting

 

Kanny @ Rome, 6:00pm CT, Wickswat (0-2, 10.57) starting

Edited April 23, 201015 yr by scenario

Who is Wickswat? Sounds like Sam's name from Transformers....

 

Hope Griffith can continue to make progress. We need 2-3 "DeLosSantos"-es to emerge from the Kannapolis and Winston-Salem rosters this year.

Matt Wickswat, 2008 NDFA, 23 yo, put up very solid numbers with GF last year.

I see that Jimmy Ballinger was finally moved to the pen. Hopefully, this will help him focus on throwing strikes.

5 BB in 8 IP so far, so, not so much. But he's allowing a lot fewer hits, which is good.

Yea they are doing the same with Infante, which I'm almost guaranteeing he'll be in the rotation next year. Going the "Nate Jones" route with these pitchers to find consistency and confidence.

 

My team, W-S, having a great season so far. I told most of you they will probably be our best minor league affiliate. So much talent, though I like Charlotte alot too. (Ozzie Ball's team) I just like W-S more.

Don't take this the wrong way, but, pretty much everyone saw that one coming as well.

 

We'll see how Infante does in the pen. He hasn't pitched enough to judge by, yet, this year.

Naw, a ton of people I remember loved Charlotte and rightfully so. I just thought W-S had more talent all around, but I liked Charlotte a ton too. Thats why I called Charlotte Ozzie Ball's team since he loves them. (yes the poster, not Ozzie haha)

Yeah I didn't think that Dash offense would be good enough for them to be an elite Carolina League team this year but they've really surprised me. Charlotte's pitching hasn't been as good as I was expecting either. Still early going though.

Yes it is my good man.

My exact thoughts.

 

The Dash's offense has been a surprise.

 

And the Knights pitching has been a disappointment so far.

 

 

The Dash--what a dumb f***ing name for a baseball team. And yes, I know what it means. Still dumb.

What did they use to be called? Something like the Spirits? It's on the tip of my tongue...

Warthogs.

 

Winston-Salem Dash (2009-present); Winston-Salem Warthogs (1995-2008); Winston-Salem Spirits (1984-1994); Winston-Salem Red Sox (1961-1983)

 

 

I was half right, lol.

 

I should have remembered Warthogs though...that name change happened the 2nd year I was working for the Augusta GreenJackets. We'd just changed our name from the Pirates for marketing purposes.

 

I'll never forget the day GM Ron Wolf sent us a bunch of Packers hats in the mail and asked for some of our merchandise in trade...he is a huge golf fan, apparently. I saw the package and was like "what the hell, why is someone in Green Bay sending us a box?"

Thompson is being extra awesome right now.

 

If he keeps this up, chances he makes Winston-Salem?

This year? I would hope 0%. Rushing him like that would be idiotic.

I meant A+, my bad.

Thompson is 19 years old. One level per year would be great.

19 and raw. Give him more time versus less.

Griffith is 3-0 now in his 3 starts with a 0.90 ERA and 13 SO/ 3 BB in 20 IP.
