Shouldn't we expect BABIP to be higher in the minor leagues?
He's been throwing strikes. I think the credit belongs mostly to him. Not to the umps.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Facing the Giants and Padres the last two games has helped. He's pitching well though.
There is some improvement in defense as you move up the pyramid. That has some impact on league wide BABIP. But generally for a pitcher moving up from AAA to the majors this is more than offset by the fact he is facing better hitters. So on average a pitcher will see his BABIP rise when he moves from AAA to the majors.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Ensheff will probably post the pitchFX report later, but his fastball was much crisper than that. He sat 93-96 basically the whole night.

No question about that. So far all its been is a good 4 games. Needs to keep this up.
What I like is that his misses are not by a lot. He is around the zone and when you couple that with flowers he is going to get a lot of generous calls. We need to extent flowers.
welcome to the late bloomer bandwagon
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
It's risky but I would certainly investigate that option. Lucroy was this guy as of last year and has completely fallen off in all areas. Such is the life of a catcher.
Is he an annual or prennial.
How many hits a game is a .250 BABIP to a .310. 2, 3? I don't know.
lets say during 6 innings he has six strikeouts...the other 12 outs are registered on balls in play...12 times .06 is equal to .72 ...so rounding up 1 hit per 6 innings
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."

that is a really good question...looking at the way his strikeout rate has improved, I'd say perennial
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
No one told me there would be math!!

Newcomb will see a challenge in his next start vs. Houston, so I'm looking forward to watching that.
and Colon is scheduled to pitch against them too!
...assuming he gets a second start
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
Who knows... maybe if Colon stymies San Diego tonight and throws a quality start vs. Houston, other teams may be interested. Of course, he would have to have e2 other great starts after the all-star break. One can only hope, but I'm not holding my breath.
if you want to focus on the bright side of giving Colon some starts it would have to center on draft position
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I've been saying that if we don't trade him we need to extend him. I think you rip up option for next year and double that salary if it will get you a team option or two on the back end.
