DANA EVELAND (4/18 vs.Gwinnett Braves)

Ugh. TWO ERRORS in the first inning already. AAA-Norfolk's defense is as bad as the Orioles' defense. :( Eveland had to get 5 outs, and had 2 unearned runs score on him in addition to the 1 earned one.

IP:O1

H:o 2

R:O 3

ER:.1

BB: 0

SO: 1

Pitches: 36 (23 Strikes, 13 Balls)

2012 ERA: 3.29

Yeah, his 10 hits the other day were all singles. I wonder how many of those hits were GB's and how tight that defense is. His walk rate (one of the major complaints against him) has been encouraging.

The defense was horrible for Bergesen 2 nights ago, as well. Not only did the commit 3 errors in 2 innings, but 4 of the 7 hits against Bergy were not hit hard, and 3 of them got through an infield that ......... that isn't exactly reminiscent of Brooks, Belanger, Johnson/Grich, and Powell.

Wonder why they took him out after 88 pitches.

I don't know, but I'm very much in favor of using your catcher's and your manager's lying eyes more, as opposed to relying so predominantly on the pitch-count.

IMRAOAO, I believe that a pitcher can still be OK after 115 pitches, and that same pitcher, for whatever reason, could be tired after 65 pitches in a game 2 or 3 weeks later.

When pitch-counts first started being used they were (I believe) supposed to be just a general marker. Unfortunately, they have been weighted extremely heavily. Kudos to the Texas Rangers for throwing them out the window completely.

Don't know. 58 strikes and 30 balls is pretty good. He's not exactly a hard thrower anymore. If anything he's been pretty consistent so far. I like the fact his walk rate has been down.

    • Is wanting to win games a good enough reason?
    • Good catch-when you look at the leader board it is mostly starters (more innings, more opportunities) a few relievers (small ball at end of games).  What is sinful for Baumann and Bautista is steals per runner/opportunity.  Why are our starters so much better (in aggragate) at holding runners-the success rate is so high it's really about volume attempts not steals themselves.  
    • Elias has used premium draft resources twice on pitchers and been burned both times. Carter Baumler and Nolan McLean.    With where we pick, it seems like HS bat would be the best value pick. Soto does sound crazy impressive though. 
    • Yea but tons of pitchers get guys out this way.  I don’t think this is it. I think the quality of his pitches are just worse. Of course, this is why it’s hard to rely on players like this too. They go from being a dime a dozen guy to really good. It can happen for a year but to repeat it is tough.    While guys slip through the cracks, teams don’t give up lefty arms like this unless there is a reason.
    • RH - Negative for cartoon wall SS/2B/3B - we trot out GG level defense already with 4 guys in the MLB now. Ortiz doesn’t hurt that.    Not on the 40 man.    All this adds up to him likely being dangled the most as he’s having the best AAA performance and is expendable. The other prospects fill holes or line up as replacements for current mlb’ers.    Cowser - RF Ortiz - Frazier Kjerstad - Santa Mayo - Mountcastle Holliday - Mateo Basallo - Adley 😢 So that leaves Westburg, Stowers, Norby, Prieto, Beavers, Fabian, Haskin, Wagner, and Willems, as our trade bait. 
    • Stats wise it seems like he was on a roll, but I remember a couple of times where Cano came on and stranded his runners.  Perez isn’t handling business versus LHB.  .811 OPS and 7K/6BB.  The walks to lefties have to stop ASAP.  1.000+ OPS vs RHB, btw.   
    • Cowser just has to show that he’s healthy and back in a groove. I don’t see Vavva/O’Hearn blocking him in RF. Hays and Hicks in LF and CF.
