After some early trouble, Adam Morgan held it down, retiring 17 of the 20 men he faced after giving up a first inning HR. Pretty good outing from Austin Wright, also – 6H, 2BB, 8K over 6 scoreless IP.
And check out Roman Quinn going deep, (err…what do you call it when it’s an inside-the-parker?), in the NYPL All-Star Game.
Justin Friend’s AA ERA drops below 3 on the year. Sorry, check that…0.3. He’s allowed 1 run in AA this year. In 31.1 innings. 1 run.
And ICYMI, Jake Fox took the AAA spot left vacant when Hector Luna went back to the show. I guess Darin Ruf is playing out the year in AA to keep that team in the playoff hunt. Cause how hot does he have to be? Actual flames coming out of his hands? Some kind of nuclear glow?
I just don’t understand who thinks it’s a good idea to pitch to Darin Ruf right now. Baffling. Continue reading Box Score Recap 8-12-2012
Yikes, Brody. Yikes.
Pettibone getting it done. Couple too many walks, not enough Ks, but only 2 hits and 15 ground outs. Solid. And Sebastian Valle with his 2nd AAA homerun – his ISO at Lehigh Valley is .273. Massive.
I imagine you’ll all want to talk about Adam Morgan now. I guess that’s fair. Also in that game, big nights from Ruf, Asche and a nice welcome back HR from Tyson Gillies.
VSL Phils win the series and the VSL League Championship for 2012. Well done. Maybe we’ll see a couple of those names in DSL or even GCL next year.
Couple of note from the GCL – Jiandido Tromp with a 4-5, 2xbh performance at the plate, bringing both his BA and his ISO over .200. Power to dream on for an 18 yr old. Also Braden Shull works a clean inning with 2K in his pro debut. Nice to see him on the field.
2012 pick Mitch Guellar with a nice outing, stretched out to 4 IP, allows 2H, 1BB, 3K.
Dugan and Franco with back-to-back jacks for Lakewood, while Asche and Ruf also go deep. And a very efficient outing from Perci Garner – 2 hits, 0 BB, and faced just one over the minimum in 5 scoreless IP.
