But he has talent..he isn’t a nobody.  Some people acted like we gave away Iglesias for nothing.  

Guilty as charged.  Hopefully he continues to prove me wrong.

Elias really does a nice  of trading for guys that make nice splashes int the minors.  We haven’t seen the performance yet in the majors but at least it gives you hope.  Duquette, on the other hand, traded for a bunch of guys that were basically worse in the minors once they got here

Seems like every minor leaguer that Duquette acquired looked awful.  Everyone Elias acquires seems to have enough to give me hope. 

Grow the bats buy the arms.

92-93 in this start. Nice slider and workable change against lefties. Hard to tell about eh curveball with the camera angle used throughout most of the game. Got away with a few mistakes in the middle of the plate and gave up some long outs. Better command overall than his first start obviously.

Another fine outing for Pinto tonight: 4.2 IP, 5 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 3 K’s.   He threw 69 pitches, 45 strikes. I would have liked them to give him a chance to finish the 5th inning, but they yanked him after issuing a 2-out walk.

Another good outing today:

6 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 SO

[Chaka Garcia]

Anyone check the readings on his velocity the last few starts? Is Pinto still hitting mid 90's?

[DoobyDoo]

Another solid outing for Pinto:

5 IP, 3 H, 2 R (1 ER), 1 BB, 8 SO

 

Numbers at Delmarva so far:

 

1.75 ERA, 25.2 IP, 14 H, 0 HR, 6 BB, 31 SO

 

Hopefully, he keeps this up for the rest of the year and starts next year at Aberdeen.

I like zero homeruns in 25 IP. That always seems to be the Achilles heel of our pitchers

[Frobby]

This guy is climbing my personal ladder quickly.   Tonight, 5 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 6 K’s.  That’s an off day for him this year.

Plenty there to like !!! 

4 innings, 8 strikeouts, 4 ground outs, 0 fly ball outs.

I just love a strikeout/groundball pitcher.

One drawback is he's only 5'11". 

Not a drawback.

Number one on this list is Pedro Martinez. Colon was listed at 5’11” and doesn’t make the list, but I’d take his career.

I think it’s appropriate that we have a short pitcher named Pinto.

Because he resembles a small, dangerous automobile?

Something like that.
