Tim Berry today, 2013

*I checked and couldn't find a thread for him; if there is one, mods please merge.*

He got completely wrecked tonight. Eight ER in 1 IP, ERA from 3.86 all the way to 4.83. Can anyone comment on what happened? First inning was just a 2 run homer; it happens. 2nd inning went: reached on catcher's interference (!), double, double, single, double, homer, HBP. Yikes!

He was coming on very strong through the first 9 games of the year. Anyone have a first-hand account of the game, or even more info than can be gleaned from the play-by-play?

I like the competitiveness of finally drilling somebody though. I think I might have thrown at my own manager by that time. :laughlol:

I watched a little but the camera angle is from behind home plate and far away. Best I could determine was that his fastball was just very hittable last night. His strikeouts have been decreasing in recent starts. I have to wonder if he has a tired arm or some mechanical or physical issue. He was striking out a lot of guys early in the season.

He never was a super high strikeout guy... maybe just regression. Another injury to a decent prospect would just suck.

Thanks for the info, always appreciated. Edit: must spread rep, etc etc.

His fastball does not have a lot of life and batters pick him up well despite the good velocity. He has to have precise location of his fastball and his curveball needs to be on for him to have success. He's made some strides but will have set back games like this when things just don't work.

Thanks for the thread. Maybe we/I can track him as the season progresses right here, and perhaps Paul or Weams can just tweak the title (maybe add "Today, 2013.")

He's only 22 years-old, and he's at Advanced-A, so he may be worth keeping tabs on.

He had several good outings earlier this season, but his last few lines have not been good.
