Shouldn't we expect BABIP to be higher in the minor leagues?

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.

Good to hear good things from those that watched the game

I saw MLB tv highlights. Looked like Meyers hit one out. Sybarite hit one out that kemp caught. One k on a high fastball that was only 91.

Left handed just seem to play up velocity

Sounded like the walk was an 8 pitch walk.

Internsting that he's had this good of results and he's not really been as described in milb. Was he just trying to get promoted with radar gun numbers? Numbers were wrong?

Iirc we are measuring velocity different this year in MLB so everyone gets a mph or so extra. So he blew a high fastball by at what would have been 89-90

I know sd is bad and they k a lot but still

Ensheff will probably post the pitchFX report later, but his fastball was much crisper than that. He sat 93-96 basically the whole night.

He's been throwing strikes. I think the credit belongs mostly to him. Not to the umps.

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.

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.

and Colon is scheduled to pitch against them too!
...assuming he gets a second start

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'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.
