9/6/2023 - PENROD IV

[JM3]

I don't really get the Wilyer in CF thing, or why they keep leading off the rookies, but YOLO, I guess.

Weird shade on the system...

Red Sox obviously awful at defense, though.

Popout, then another walk.

I should be able to actually watch in about 25 minutes. Hopefully Bastardo will still be in by then...

 

[JM3]

Baron Radcliff has a cool name, but bad plate discipline. Grounded out on a 2-0 pitch to end the 1st inning.

29 pitches, 13 strikes.

Still hasn't allowed any hits or runs, though.

29 pitches, 13 strikes.

Still hasn't allowed any hits or runs, though.

Bastardo pitched a 1-2-3 2nd, 8 pitches.

 

[JM3]

This may be anecdotal, but Allan Castro doesn't seem to come through in hitterish spots very often.

Most recent example - struck out with Pailino on 3rd & 1 out.

 

[JM3]

Hmm...2 pieces of bad news & 1 piece of good news.

The worst news is Penrod allowed a 2-run homer to end his scoreless innings streak at I believe 17.

 

[JM3]

The other bad news was that Núñez allowed a run in the 1st on a double play.

 

[JM3]

All the good news is in the Salem game...

Jhostynxon single & steal
Antonio single
Johanfran sac fly
Alcantara single
Yuten RBI single, Alcantara to 3rd
Alcantara/Yuten double steal

3-0 after 1.

 

[JM3]

Bastardo pitched a 1-2-3 2nd, 8 pitches.

1-2-3 3rd with 11 pitches. 48 total.

 

[JM3]

Feliz walk, Asigen double, Jhostynxon sac fly but Asigen got thrown out at 2nd somehow.

Asigen seems to run into a fair # of outs. Good hitter, though.

4-0.

 

[JM3]

Bastardo allowed his 1st hit in the 4th, a lead off single. He stole 2nd on a very quick, but high, throw by Teel, & got to 3rd on a deep fly ball to Roman.

The Baron hit a groundball to Blaze at 1st & he made the play at the plate, & the next guy hit a deep fly ball to right to end the inning.

 

[JM3]

Mick Abel & Angel Bastardo seem to have a similar slinging motion, but Abel appears to be better at the whole pitching thing at this point of their careers, though.

Mick Abel & Angel Bastardo seem to have a similar slinging motion, but Abel appears to be better at the whole pitching thing at this point of their careers, though.

The only base runner Abel has allowed in 5 scoreless innings was on a Corey Rosier single. He has 7 strikeouts, including Teel twice.

 

[JM3]

Penrod has allowed 2 more runs in the 3rd. Greenville is losing 4-0 in the 3rd & has no hits.

 

[JM3]

The "all good news is in Salem" rule holds true.

JOHANFRAN walked & stole 2nd, then scored on a Yuten single.

5-0

 

[JM3]

& Bastardo allowed a lead off walk & 2-run homer.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Penrod has allowed 2 more runs in the 3rd. Greenville is losing 4-0 in the 3rd & has no hits.

We might have jinxed him last night.

JOHANFRAN walked & stole 2nd, then scored on a Yuten single.

5-0

Feliz double scores Yuten, 6-0.

 

[JM3]

We might have jinxed him last night.

He's now allowed a 5th run. I almost posted that I bet he allows runs today, but didn't want to jinx him that way lol

 

[JM3]

Rosier just drew a walk. They should probably Worcester him.

I just don't really get the treatment he & Asigen get batting 9th.

 

[JM3]

He stole 2nd & then Roman walked.

Abel definitely tiring.

 

[JM3]

Yorke grounded into a double play on a 3-0 pitch. He hit the ball hard... but that can't be good baseball with 1 out.

 

[JM3]

Elvis pitched 4 scoreless innings for Salem allowing 1 hit & 1 walk, striking out 6. He was only 50 pitches in (32 strikes).

Frank German in for the 5th.

 

[JM3]

Bastardo's final line:

5 IP
2 runs
2 hits
5 walks
3 strikeouts

90 pitches, 49 strikes.

Wyatt Olds pitched a 1-2-3 6th on 9 pitches, 7 strikes, & a strikeout. I'm quasi-intrigued despite the 8.63 ERA.

 

[JM3]

New lefty pitcher much easier.

Meidroth single
Hickey reaches on throwing error
Blaze crushed the ball & out snuck past the SS
TEEL RBI single in front of the right fielder.

Sikes sac fly, 2-2

 

[JM3]

Bradley Zimmer hit a 2-run homer for Worcester.

That ties the game at 2 in the top of the 5th.

Andrés Núñez allowed a run on 2 hits & 2 walks in his 1 inning & Murphy has allowed 1 run in 3 innings so far.

 

[JM3]

Maybe I underrated Meidroth's defense the other day, idk.

Wyatt Olds pitched a 1-2-3 6th on 9 pitches, 7 strikes, & a strikeout. I'm quasi-intrigued despite the 8.63 ERA.

Olds hit a guy in the 7th & I think I understand the problem... he doesn't have enough control of his pitches. But he got the other 3 guys out.

I said Bastardo & Abel slung the ball, & they do from like a 75%. Olds slings it even more so & from a 60% with movement & I'm kinda interested if he learns how to harness it.

 

[JM3]

Roman just smashed the ball at the SS on a line for an out.

 

[JM3]

Blizzard single, Scott walk & Dalbec single gives WooSox a 3-2 lead.

 

[JM3]

Eddinson Paulino got Greenville's 1st hit with 2 outs in the 6th. He also has their only walk.

 

[JM3]

Penrod lasted 3.2 innings & allowed 5 runs on 7 hits, 4 walks & 3 strikeouts.

Casey Cobb finished the 4th & is still on in the 6th.

Olds walked the lead off hitter in the 8th on 4 pitches that weren't close. Probably should have settled for the 2 innings.

Then he stole 2nd on the pitcher. & a double over Rosier's head, & the runner took 3rd when they tried to get the guy at the plate.

Rosier looked really awkward on the ball...

Rosier looked really awkward on the ball...

It was smashed, but Rosier seemed to take an awkward jump early to avoid a wall he wasn't that close to.

Anyway, pretty poor letting Olds pitch a 3rd inning. Jacob Webb in.

 

[JM3]

Frank German did a little of everything in his 1 inning for Salem.

1 hit, 2 walks, 1 WP, 1 unearned run & 3 strikeouts.

Nathanael Cruz pitched a scoreless 6th & is back out for the 7th up 6-1.

Webb doesn't seem like he's in very good shape for a young modern athlete. Had a very successful inning, though - 2 strikeouts & a groundout to strand the inherited runner on 3rd.

Portland down 3-2 headed to the 9th.

 

[JM3]

Hickey drew a leadoff walk.

 

[JM3]

Greenville has scored some runs, but more details later.

Tyler McDonough pinch running. Blaze up.

Tyler McDonough did some dumbazz base running & got thrown out trying to advance on a ball that barely got away from the catcher.

Too much low IQ baseball.

Teel grounded into a fc. Sikes singled, 1st & 3rd 2 out for Binelas.

Matthew Lugo PH for Binelas against the lefty closer.
