C'mon...it's 2.2 IP...not 2.67.

No, it's 2.67. 2/3 of an inning is .66 or.667 or .67.

.2 is 2/10 of an inning, which does not exist.

If the boxscores want to display .1 or .2, they can ........ but it's wrong.

It's not a base 10 system, it's base three. You know, like binary is base one and programing languages use hexadecimal, which is base 16.

As far as I know there has never been a math system invented just for baseball but it wouldn't surprise me if Drungo develops one.

I got your PM. Thanks, it's OK though. I'm actually glad that you pointed it out, because now I know that writing it as .1 or .2 could still technically be correct. :) I always thought that it was just lazy sportswriters that didn't want to bother writing it correctly.

48 strikes, 47 balls? Ugh.

Yeah, that's awful, especially against AAA talent. Honestly, I think Tillman is AAA talent at this point though too. I suppose if he regains his velocity and can learn how to throw strikes he could still be a #3/4 starter. But the odds of that happening decrease in my mind with every poor start like this. The guy has a razor thin margin of error right now.

Barring an injury, do you think he'll be back up before September?? I know a lot of people probably think it's a given but I think he'll have to show something to Buck, Conners, etc before he gets recalled.

I saw Tillman pitched tonight. I felt that there were 4 "games within a game" for him tonight:

A. He looked very good for the first 3 and 2/3 innings.

B. With 2 outs and a runner on first base in the 4th inning, Tillman was coasting. Then he walked a batter on four pitches. Then he walked the next batter as well. Then he gave up a 2-run single. Fortunately, he got the final batter of the inning on one pitch.

C. After the bad 1/3 of an inning in the 4th, Tillman looked very good again in the 5th with a 10-pitch inning.

D. In the 6th inning, he reverted back to the way that he was pitching in the final 1/3 of an inning in the 4th. With one out, he walked 2 more batters, gave up a single in between, and then he was tagged for a 2-run double, which ended his day. Fortunately, Chris George came in to get the last 2 outs of the inning with runners on 2nd and 3rd and only one out to prevent any further damage.

Other than that, Chris had his usual huge breaking ball working well for him. Overall though, it was a disappointing outing after a very promising start.

      Trey Gibson 2024

      Ranked #259 prospect in 2020 draft Gibson popped onto the national radar last fall in Jupiter, when he struck out 12 batters and walked two while showing a four-pitch mix over six innings. The Liberty commit has a physical, 6-foot-4, 225-pound frame and a below-average operation, but he showed an ability to repeat it consistently and threw solid strikes in that outing. What will challenge scouts given the shortened 2020 season is Gibson’s limited track record. He was close to an unknown before his performance in Jupiter, and teams probably don’t feel great about the information they were able to add to his file this spring. In Jupiter, Gibson threw a 90-93 mph fastball and showed good feel for a slider, curveball and changeup. The slider sat in the mid-80s and was a firm breaking ball, the curve flashed two-plane break and his changeup was in the 82-85 mph range with good depth and sink. His curveball and changeup both looked like above-average offerings. With some stiffness and crossfiring action in his delivery, scouts wonder about Gibson’s reliever risk and without significant looks to clarify that question this spring teams might opt to let him get to campus in Lynchburg.

      Baseball America 4YR Commit/Drafted: Never Drafted  Age At Draft: 21.2  Gibson made a strong early impression at Liberty by putting up a 3.32 ERA with 70 strikeouts and 21 walks in 65 innings as a freshman in 2021. His second season wasn’t as strong. With 72 strikeouts in 56 innings, his strikeout rate was actually up year over year, but otherwise, the numbers paint a grimmer picture. His ERA ballooned to 6.75, his hits allowed per nine innings went from 7.1 to 10.1 and his walks allowed per nine innings went from 2.9 to 4.8. Gibson didn’t pitch at all for Liberty in the 2023 season, but threw in the Cape Cod League during the summer. He struggled through his first four appearances, posting a 13.50 ERA in 10 innings, with 12 strikeouts and eight walks. Gibson pitched around 89 and got his fastball up to 92, but he struggled to land his secondaries, which include a downer curveball in the mid 70s, a low-80s slider and a mid-80s changeup. There’s arm talent here, but his inconsistencies, lack of playing time and history with arm injuries in 2022 could make him a complicated draft target.

      Well Vespi has been decent in AAA where almost everyone else has been getting lit up. Matt Krook who is similar to Vespi and Luis Gonzalez have been decent from the left side. Wandisson Charles may be worth a look for a little bit. I'm not convinced his fastball works despite the velocity since it's a low spin pitch and doesn't seem to have good vertical movement, but he's interesting since he can sit 98 MPH. Garrett Stallings is a guy that could be a multi-inning guy if he can find a way to get lefties out.  None of these guys are thrilling, but as the 7th reliever to each a few innings for he bullpen when the team is up or down a lot, sure.

      4/17: A Pair Of Extra Inning Losses

      Good job on the Carlos Tavera mention.  He finished with 4 perfect innings an 7 strikeouts.  Easily his best performance since 2022 in Aberdeen and perhaps in his pro career.   If he follows this one up with something similar he gets his own page.

      That might be an issue in this clubhouse.

      Rumor is that he consistently skipped Bible study.
