Rico, where did you get starters? MiLB shows Blair, Withrow, Pike and Lawlor

[devilsbballfan]

Anyone heard anything new in the last week on some of our injured pitchers? Last update I heard on AJ Minter had late May as a possibility for his return, and haven't seen anything on Wentz since he took the liner off his leg or Gohara since Coppy indicated they were skipping him a start.

[zbhargrove]

These were the starters from a couple days ago

That's the worst day of minor league starters in like 2 years.

[Enscheff]

That's the worst day of minor league starters in like 2 years.

You've just reverse-jinxed them into tossing 4 gems.

Then I just jinxed the reverse-jinx. Dammit, sorry.

Interesting from MILB on Cumberland:

The Braves' No. 29 prospect may not pay much attention to those splits, but the numbers speak volumes. Cumberland ranks second among all Minor Leaguers with 60.3 percent of the balls he puts in play going into the air. Oklahoma City slugger O'Koyea Dickson (62.9) is the only other Minor Leaguer above 60 percent. Among Class A hitters, his ratio of 0.47 ground balls per fly balls is second lowest, trailing only Dayton's John Sansone at 0.46.

Take a look at the rest of the article. Cumberland spent time in college with the guy who taught JD Martinez his new approach:

Don't see how Pike fits into that statement.

3-2, 1.93 ERA and 1.07 WHIP in 51.1 IP, 6.3 hits allowed/9, 9.5 Ks/9, 3.3 BB/9, .200 Average Against, hasn't given up a homer yet.

Is he adopting the flyball revolution?

[zbhargrove]

Just as an FYI, Rob Whalen is starting for the Mariners tonight... for those who may like to follow.

[CJ9]

Is he adopting the flyball revolution?

His quotes in the article say he's not, but the stats seem to say otherwise.

Acuna 2-3 with a SB.

[CJ9]

Acuna doubled off the top of the RF wall. Demeritte followed with a two-run single.

Have high hopes for these 2.

Cumberland 2-3

His K's are still a bit too high, but other than that Cumberland is having a hell of a month of May.
