Yep that’s when I turned it off. Pinch hitting Hays started the turn of fortune in this game. Doesn’t matter that there’s a LH on the mound. You give Stowers the opportunity to hit.
I’m not quite ready to start a Kyle Brnovich thread, but he pitched well last night, allowing 1 run on 4 hits, 2 BB and 3 K’s in 5 IP. He’s been very good at limiting the hits (only 24 in 38 IP), which also was a strength before his TJ surgery in early 2022 that ate up half of 2923 as well. However, he’s been gopher ball prone this year, allowing 8 homers among his 24 hits. His BB rate also is higher than pre-surgery, at 4.3 compared to 3.1 for his career. Overall, he’s at 3.79 ERA, 1.105 WHIP, 11.6 K/9, 2.7 K/BB.
Brnovich had reached AAA by the start of 2022 before needing TJ after two starts. He resumed pitching in late June 2023 and made it as far as Bowie. But ended up missing about five weeks in August and September with some other malady. Hopefully with a run of good outings he can make his way back to Norfolk.
