International League Playoffs: Durham @ Norfolk

I like seeing Povich getting the ball.

His 2022 was 24 games and 114 innings.

Entering tonight he is at 28 games and 127 innings.

These days I consider that entirely ready platform wise for a MLB rookie year.

150 innings is the new 200 innings, and I think most pitchers who earn innings 151-200 have to prove it.     Maybe not Paul Skenes.

Mayo with the oppo bomb, Stowers with the CF bomb, Ortiz with a great defensive play and key RBI single. Props to Voth too for having a great game. It's very easy to be depressed this time of year that you are pitching in AAA vs the big leagues and kind of go through the motions, but Voth definitely upped his game.

They looked like they had never seen a curve like Voth’s.   He will pitch again in the bigs.

Such a turn around from Tuesday to Wednesday.

Tuesday's pitching staff threw 9 BB, 13K, Baumann had 2 WP (Bemboom Catching).  Offensively the Tide had 14K and 0 BB

Wednesday's pitching staff threw:  2BB, 17K, no WP or PB and NO stolen bases (Handley Catching).  Offensively the Tide had only 5K and 6BB.

Just watching the game, both offensively and defensively the feel and performance were 180 from night to night.

Beeks (Bulls starting Pitcher) is LHP.  Handley is RHH while Bemboom and Godoy are LHH.  As such, I think the Tide will give the NOD to Handley to start tonight. 

Best Chance for a W lineup?  (McKenna is my unknown as he is a RHH but OF and Norby/Cowser/Stowers have been solid)

L  Holiday    SS   

R  Norby      LF   

L  Cowser     CF   

R  Mayo       3B   

L  Stowers    RF  

R  Ortiz        2B   

L  Lester      DH

L  Diaz         1B

R  Handley    C

Good thoughts there.  Maybe Lester sits.  With McKenna in CF, Cowser in RF, and Stowers to DH.

Does anyone know, if the Tides win tonight, who the Home team would be Saturday in the "Championship" game?

That is a great question.  Tides were 90-59 for a .604.  OKC Dodgers were 90-58 for a .608.  On the MILB scoreboard for Saturday the OKC Dodgers are already listed as Home team.

    • Frustrating sure, but boring is not what I would I say. We do steal bases at times. I would like for us to play more small ball sometimes and it is frustrating to see us be so homerun happy. I think with Westy back, we will see a resurgence of timely hitting as that is very contagious.   We saw that at the beginning of the year. Amazing sight to see for sure. I think the most disheartening thing that really shocked me is the apathy and outright disgust I’ve seen from O’s fans toward their team. Perhaps we have been spoiled? No idea. Maybe expectations were too high? No idea, but frankly, a lot of yall focusing on other things and simply not watching/posting would make next season a lot more enjoyable. This is the first time since 96-97 where we make the playoffs in back to back years and you guys have been acting like some real lame jerks this whole dang season. Frankly, yall should be ashamed of yourselves. We are an incredibly young team and with that come highs and lows, but yall don’t see that. You just love to complain and moan and bloviate. Where’s the heart? Where’s the loyalty? Where’s the gratitude? You’d think with all this team has overcome, especially being so young, y’all would be happy, but no. So go off on your little bike rides or whatever. Go watch a movie if this saga seems boring to you. I don’t care. Just for once this season, keep your immense negativity to yourself.
    • Really an amazing run, 4 straight years. I completely agree with the ranking, too. There's no way Kjerstad is still a prospect though, right? 45 days is the cutoff and he's played in 48 games.
    • i think we all are going to have ptsd from that 9th inning for a while,it was that brutally bad . they need to do some special to get us to forget about it
    • wow,did gunnar and adley have to do this last season? 
    • I suggested that earlier but I think it's probably a bad play with no out. The O's have like 85% probability of scoring. There is a huge downside risk of Mullins popping up the bunt for a double play. He could also whiff on the bunt making at least Holliday an easy out. With one out and only 65% probability of scoring it's a much better play. I think if Santander and Mullins were reversed in the lineup Hyde may have done it but not when you have two shots to get the run in. 
    • WE GOT US ONE - JD5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • Completely disagree about Orr. He will be fine. His defense has been better in its first few games compared to McDonald’s first few games.     And some of these big passing stats are over exaggerated. There have been mistakes for sure.
