We were at this game as we were passing by Binghamton at just the right hour on the way home.

Young hasn't really emerged on my radar, but I did see him pitch to Francisco Alvarez twice.   Mets AA seems pretty horrible except for him (last night's Rumble Ponies starter had a 27.00 ERA, and walked the park).    Young walked him on four pitches his first time up, and hit him on the first pitch (after a Baysock had been hit) the second time up.

We left after the Mundy HR to make it home before not too much past midnight, Ortiz had a fantastic game.

Still no word on Young, who last pitched on April 22.   

When they put him on the 60-day that usually means they are not expecting him back. Maybe Melewski will get some info on him. Ashamed, I liked his stuff a bit.

This thread is sprinkled with a few rather entertaining typos/autocorrects.  I got a good laugh.  

Lately, my phone has been really crazy with its insistence on some of these despite me telling it otherwise, sometimes funny and sometimes just aggravating as hell. 

Anyway, laughter's always good medicine 😁

First rehab start today in FCL.  Two hits, 0 walks, 3 strikeouts in the first.   Young was looking like a potential starting pitching prospect before he went down to injury.

 

2 IP. 2 hits, 0 walks. 5 K’s

Nice to see him on the way back. I liked him a bit pre injury. Looking forward to seeing what he looks like post injury.

After one inning of his rehab start at Aberdeen, I already like this guy more than Povich.  Big and tall with nice mechanics.   94 mph fastball with a very nice looking 86 mph changeup.   No sign of breaking stuff yet.  I missed the 1st inning when he gave up 2 hits and a run.   
 

Hung one curve that was pulled foul but broke off a good one after that.   Can locate his 92-94 fastball and seems to have good ride on it.   I like him.

Curve is 85/86.  From angle doesn’t look like a lot of movement on curve and change.  He his 95 a couple times but is effortlessly throwing 94.  He’s got the frame for sure.  He repeats his motion well.  Looks like he is locating the FB where he wants. In, out, up, down.

Watching on Mila.tv, located changeup well, down.  Not much fade but enough downward movement to be effective.  Looked good to me.

Was hoping to see him in the 4th.  He will be done after the delay.  He shoved in the 3rd.

 

5ks total in 3ip.  34 of 41 pitches for strikes.  Solid outing.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By StottyByNature · Posted

      A question precedes #2: when will the left field wall be fixed?  I think I remember Elias saying they probably went too far, which is quite literally true.  No reason they can't fix it quickly.  I had no problem with them moving it back but it is pretty absurd where it is.

      12 Questions for the Offseason

      By Warehouse · Posted

      On #3, I would guess that Elias is very wary about going longer than 3 years for a starting pitcher (maybe four years if pitcher is younger and AAV is favorable).  I think Mike and Sig believe the history of long-term SP deals isn’t favorable and the wrong deal could derail a mid-market team with dead money.  I’m not sure they are wrong (e.g., Patrick Corbin, Strasberg).   I don’t think ownership cares directly; I would guess they just give Elias an annual baseball ops budget and forecast and he can choose how he manages against that.   Not in play Gerrit Cole Corbin Burnes Max Fried Blake Snell Jack Flaherty    Possible free agent targets Yusei Kikuchi Nathan Eovaldi Nick Pivetta Sean Manaea Luis Severino Alex Cobb Max Scherzer Justin Verlander Jose Quintana Frankie Montas Spencer Turnbull Andrew Heaney Matthew Boyd   Possible trade targets Garret Crotchet Sandy Alcantera Jesus Luzardo Eduardo Cabrera Reid Detmers Emerson Hancock Jordan Montgomery Lance McCullers Jr.

      Is Webb anything special.  I would rather replace Webb with Norfolk shuttle guy.

      Our SS is Gunnar, our CF in this scenario would be Cowser, and C is Adley. Hopefully none of those guys are in contention for being the team's worst hitter next season. We don't need a power bat in LF - we need to add a good contact bat, that can use all fields and run.

      I would not pick up O'Hearn 8m option

      Kemp was part of it but bringing back 2 UTIL IF is blocking your best prospect when your manager covets veteranosity. If they aren’t resigned then Holliday gets a longer leash.

      LF is a bit of a waste of a spot for #9 hitter.  Its not a premium defensive position so you shoudl be able to get a decent bat who can also play there.  If you're worst hitter isn't an SS, C or CF, either you're contending for a WS , or something isn't quite right.  And this team isn't quite WS contenders just yet.

      How does Povich fit into your 2025 plans?

      By Tony-OH · Posted

      A lot could change between now and then, but right now he's the 4th starter. I like Povich more than most around here and think he can be a solid 4th starter. He may have been command days, but he doesn't get hit hard.  The cool new Baseball Savant chart shows his fastball and curve and have above average movement and is why his slightly below average velocity (.9 MPH below MLB avg for LHP) plays up a bit.
