Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Josh Tomlin tonight...9 IP, 0 R, 3 H, 10 K, O BB, 89 pitches (70 strikes, 19 balls). 17 straight scoreless innings for him.
 
I am really not worried about our pitching. And once our offense gets going it will be solid. Just our defense is trash!!!
 
Tomlin lines up for Tuesday if he pitched last night.

I'd imagine he's getting the call.

Just looks like a ballplayer. Of course, so do all the other guys wearing uniforms, but you get the point.
 
Dang, I was thinking he bombed that HR- completely over the UPNC Health Plan Outfield bleachers- but upon looking at the ballpark, left CF is 365. With a 6 foot fence. Probably a legit bigleague HR, but but a surprisingly small LF in that park, never knew that. Wonder if that puts a damper on Stetson Allie's numbers.
 
So Paulino got sent to Arizona...getting moved to corner outfield. It was pretty obvious the guy wouldn't be able to stick at SS.

Cody Anderson needs to find a way to start missing bats. His K rate is absurdly low this year.

I'll update player stats later tonight

His HR pimping needs a bit more work in Double-A.
 
Will we ever see LeVon :(
 
Jesus, that wasn't a cheapie either. Murdered that.
