Box Score Recap – 4/5/2014

Box Score Recap

Sean O’Sullivan got hit around some, but Phillippe Aumont worked his way around two hits to work a scoreless inning in LV’s loss. Two hits a piece for Cameron Perkins and Kelly Dugan – Perkins’ were both doubles – he’s got three already on the young season, picking up where he left off in 2013. Ken Giles struck out the side, (not in order, of course), to pick up his first AA save, after AA repeater Jay Johnson struck out two in a clean eighth inning.

A rehabbing JA Happ beat CLR, while Brian Pointer had his second triple in as many days. Dylan Cozens with two hits and Larry Greene was on base twice in support of a fine outing from Alejandro Arteaga for LKW – 2R, 5H, (1 HR), 6Ks 0BB, and he threw nearly 2/3 of his pitches for strikes.

Not going to get the graphic up today, but here’s the link and a spot to discuss Saturday’s action.

Here’s the affiliate Scoreboard from MiLB. http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?sid=milb&org=143&ymd=20140405

  1. Aumont Watch:

    Phillippe came in to start the seventh inning– faced 5 batters. He threw 20 pitches, 11 for strikes. He allowed 2 singles, but no walks, no hit batsmen, no WP, and no PB. 1 K.

    According to the radio broadcast his FB was 90-92 as opposed to the previous 94-96. Could be it’s part of the process–trying to gain control, find rhythm, and repeat delivery details. Something to watch, though.

    1. It is interesting that Franco hits differently in BP from live game action, and he admits it.

    1. The glaring weakness in the pen after the first five games appears to be the closer. Giles could be there if Papelbon is put on the DL. But not sure he would be designated the interim closer, seems they would hand that over to a Bastardo, De Fratus or Diekman.

      1. Readers Poll from philly.Com:
        Should the Phillies find another closer?

        Yes. Jonathan Papelbon can’t do it anymore. 2589 (85.7%)
        No. Give him time. 433 (14.3%

        Not much faith in Paps anymore.

        1. I can’t c them going to Giles as closer right away. I think the likely scenario is Diekman taking over if there’s a change. Sandberg seems to like him

  6. Anybody know what happened to Astudillo last year? I tried MiLB/Fangraphs/BRef and they all say he disappeared in 2013.
