Lakewood Game Report

NYPhilsmaniac19 was out at the Lakewood Game Wednesday evening and filed this report:
Pitching:
Ethan Stewart went the full 7  innings and looked decent.  The radar gun wasn’t on for the first inning or  two but the fastest pitch I saw was 87.  Hard to tell what he was throwing  from the angle I had (well up the 1B line), but he mostly had them off-balance  except for one inning (the 4th) Continue reading Lakewood Game Report →

Around the System–Bullpen (LV and READING)

The bullpen of the upper part of the organization is currently thin because of the Phillies recent dependence on call ups but certainly some noteworthy performances below.  Next up will be the Clearwater and Lakewood bullpens, Sunday or Monday.

Lehigh Valley

Tyson Brummett, 27, Phils 7th round pick in 2007, 17 games between Reading and LV; 2-0 with a 2.17 ERA and 1 save; 29IP 15H 3BB 35K; 1.13 GO/AO; .152 opp. avg., 0.62 WHIP; 0.9BB/10.9K per nine; It has been an entirely different Tyson Brummett this year, a guy I had written off to organizational status.  More often than not he has dominated with outstanding BB/K ratio and .opp avg..  Not sure if this is an aberration, but he has begun seeing action in critical situations for Lehigh Valley.

General Discussion

Here’s the place for all non-prospect related chit chat. I’ll suggest a topic: Carlos Ruiz is hitting kinda ok this year. Discuss.

Interview with Cody Overbeck

Recently, I had the chance to talk to Lehigh’s first baseman Cody Overbeck. Though the talk may have been brief, his answers to my admittedly novice questions were pretty insightful. Jump it for the transcript of my phone call.   Continue reading Interview with Cody Overbeck →

Box Score Recap 5-22-2012

Since a very bad outing on April 19, Jesse Biddle’s WHIP is 1.03.  Hope the graphic works better for you all.  I believe I figured out what I was doing to make it so blurry and fixed it.

Interview With Ethan Stewart

Hi! I’m Bryan Sheehan, I’ll be contributing some prospect interviews to the site. Here’s one I did recently with Lakewood’s Ethan Stewart. – Jump it – Continue reading Interview With Ethan Stewart →

Hot or Not

Quick Hits: Dave Bush had about as good a week as you can have while Jesse Biddle has come around to give us exactly what has been expected.  On the other side, Brody Colvin continues to disappoint and some troubling numbers from Trevor May as AA hitters get a second look at him.

–It is time to notice Tyler Knigge who has been excellent all year for CLearwater.  BJ Rosenberg should start receiving some close attention as well, considering the Phils porous bullpen situation.

–Low draft pick Carlos Alonso has been absolutely crushing the ball through close to 100 AB’s for CLearwater.

—Anthony Hewitt, after his special guest appearance on the Hot list, returns to the Not Hot list. Gauntlett Eldemire has started appearing there consistently as well. Continue reading Hot or Not →
