Johnson and Jaye tonight.

Interesting that Johnson is on the same schedule as Peavy. I wonder if that could matter in five days.

I think you have to give those starts to Santiago.

Charlie Leesman throwing for the Knights hoping to have another good start.

 

With Peavy on the shelf for a while, I wonder who would get the nod as the 5th starter if we were to face another injury in the rotation. I think it would have to be Leesman or Johnson. Maybe 29 year old Berken?

I still think Leesman could work as a left-handed long-man. Not sure what else he needs to do to get an extended look.

He was just released off of the 40 man roster. I can't see him being a call up.

Yeah, I should have phrased that better. I don't think he will get called up, I just think he could be a serviceable long-man if given the opportunity.

Olacio with a nice start: 7 IP, 1 ER, 5 K, 2 BB, 5 H

I think you have to give those starts to Santiago.

 

I never assume Santiago will ever get the chance to start. Clearly Ventura has some issue w/ Santiago in the rotation, considering how hard he tries to waste him in the pen.

Hawkins 0/2, with 2 K.

I think it may be more Cooper than Ventura, but who really knows.

 

If they don't give him the starts though, it's pretty clear they don't see him as a starter long-term.

B-ham rained out. Bring Johnson up.

Good to see. He's young enough that this can purely be a learning year. He hasn't shown much to get excited about before this.

Hawkins 0/3, 3 K now.

He is back!!

But he had a walk, haha!

 

Actually, the entire team was pretty much shut down.

Intimidators threw a no-hitter in their Game 2.

Braulio Ortiz is starting to become an interesting name.

Kanny waking up after slow start. A couple of new faces who joined them a week or 2 ago are hitting well. Josh Richmond and Jake Brown.

Can touch 95-96 with the FB. Has only one breaking pitch right now though, at least that he can control. But some good raw tools there.

Brown is a 30th round pick who put up a .652 OPS in Bristol last year as a 22 year old. Richmond is in his 4th year in A ball. Neither are anything to get excited about, but, they are definitely helping out their team and that's worth something.

 

W-S has been winning lately too. B-Ham is rockin'.

 

I never assume Santiago will ever get the chance to start. Clearly Ventura has some issue w/ Santiago in the rotation, considering how hard he tries to waste him in the pen.

 

God forbid they go with a guy who's put up a good ERA and a better WHIP in the rotation while adding a left handed arm to the pen who can also go multiple innings at a time.

 

As of now, with Peavy out, I too think it would be wise to give Santiago an extended stay in the rotation.
