Ariel Miranda Pitching Tonight

Recommended Posts

I saw the stats of this guy while watching the blowout today verses Oakland. Very impressed with his stats this year at Bowie and with his years in the Cuban league...any chance we bring him up this year? He's not exactly a youngster and should be given a chance in the big leagues.

I like him as my Chen replacement. Next year.

Hard to judge Cuban talent. Is he AA or AAA or ML ready? Next year to replace Chen might be too soon. Certainly a spring training invite.

I saw him handle Ryan Zimmerman with ease. But you are right, you never know until you see them with the big club.

In the very first inning, Miranda had runners on 2nd and 3rd base with nobody out.

He struck out the next 2 batters, and then got the 3rd to pop out.

This was only a 7-inning game, hence part of the reason for removing Miranda after 4.33 innings instead of letting him at least finish 5.

Miranda gave up 4 runs in the 2nd inning, but hung in there to complete 6.

At one point, he retired 10 consecutive batters.

3 walks and a mediocre strikes-to-balls ratio were the only downsides to this outing.

Other than that, it was exemplary. Miranda knocked almost a full run off of his 2016 ERA (4.29 to 3.33.)

    • If you're projecting a future lineup without Mullins in 2026, then EBJ is a reasonable placeholder name to put in there. I would assume most people understand that it's not a sure thing to work out that way. 
    • Every year players are injured sliding head first into bags or even worse home plate. Just noticed that EBJ has a head injury from sliding head first into home (really dangerous and stupid) I'll say it again, what analytics driven organization will be the first to ban head first slides for all of their players I remember when David Sequi was a decent player and ended his career with a serious hand injury sliding head/hand first into home. Cal never slid head first, and wouldn't have been the iron man if he did.
    • Oh, I don't know. I thought when accusing someone of wild malpractice over possibly, maybe, slightly speeding up highlights that kind of opened the door to a little goofy exaggeration.
    • I was going to post something about this after reading about that on MLBTR this morning. That gives me a lot of hope for Bradish if this kid can come back from a UCL sprain and throw 103. Obviously, reliever vs. starter so who knows. But uplifting to read nonetheless. 
    • Hollocher hit almost exclusively 2nd in the order. The Cubs' 3rd hitters (and it was the Cubs, not the Indians as I previously stated) were mostly Marty Krug, Zeb Terry, and John Kelleher. Krug was awful for a 1922 3rd-place hitter, with an 83 OPS+ in his only season as a MLB regular, but he only struck out 43 times in 524 PAs. Terry was worse, OPS+ing 74, but with just 16 Ks in 571 PAs. And Kelleher was the worst of the bunch, OPS+ing 60, while striking out 14 times in 222 PAs. Cubs manager Reindeer Bill Killefer stuck hard and fast to the old rule of thumb that the catcher should bat 8th, even if it's Bob O'Farrell and he hit .324 with an .880 OPS. Ray Grimes had a 1.014 OPS and batted cleanup. But Hack Miller and his .899 OPS batted mostly 6th. Statz wasn't a terrible leadoff hitter, was one of only a couple players who had a SB% higher than 50%, but was 6th among their regulars in OBP. That's as bad a bunch of #3 hitters as I've seen in a while, yet the Cubs finished 80-74-2. Just goes to show you batting order doesn't really matter. Anyway, back to the main point... yes, I'm sure some of Hollocher's CS were busted hit-and-runs. But nobody that regularly batted behind him struck out in even 7% of PAs so they shoulda been putting the ball in play the vast majority of the time.    
    • Bobby needs to git gud. 
    • How many people actually said they were one of the greatest teams ever?   They did hit the snot out of the ball the first 9 games of the year, mostly in a 6 game series in a very hitter-friendly ball park against a bad pitching staff.  That said, they’re still second in the league in runs per game.  Their pitching has been problematic, yielding 6.50 runs per game.
