Boy Ian Anderson had just an awful game tonight

Seems like Malloy takes a little time to adjust to each level and then just goes off. Hopefully that K rate goes down a bit more.

I'm hoping they had him working on a 3rd pitch or something
4 doubles and 2HR in the last 4 games. Not bad…
Yes - 100% - they said they sent him down to work on change up and especially curveball. So he ain’t exactly trying to win or just gets outs smoking fbs by AAAA manure hitters….

Soroka day isn’t it??
Some Owen Murphy video in this tweet, raving about the life on the fastball. It was up to 94: https://twitter.com/flasmitty/status/1563590319354314756?s=21&t=AFduFQziFBW36dWZ3eadww

His AAA performance isn't going well. Maybe time to just hope he's ready for 2023

Sounds like he actually did pretty well outside of the second inning

Era is bad. Had 3 walks. I said in the game day thread though that a lot of the hits were GBs, so they may have been outs in Atlanta

Ritchie with a solid first start at Augusta yesterday.
4.0 IP, 2 hits, 1 walk, 1 K, 0 ER

He’s definitely intriguing. K numbers aren’t crazy either. I think zbhargrove and others have mentioned it, but there’s a fun group that probably starts at Rome next year with Kilpatrick, Baldwin, McCabe and Alvarez.

As CJ9 says, very interesting prospect. I can never tell what goes into the draft calculus, but looking at Kilpatrick's JC and Summer League stats, the guy has hit wherever he's played. He had an extra year in junior college due to the cancelled COVID season and he had a commitment to play at the University of Houston if he hadn't signed. Curious to see which A-level team he starts at next season. I imagine a lot depends on where they place Morton and Paolini from this year's Augusta team and whether they have Williams and Jackson repeating the FCL.

Javier Valdes could be a UT option in the next year or two. He was a Below average college UT player drafted as a C.
He crapped the bed in 21, but he is having a solid season between Rome and Miss. He could always draw a walk, but now he’s developed some power.
I’m not sure what other positions he could still play, but with using Contreras/TDA as a DH I think we could use a 3rd catcher with some versatility.

Wow - Considerable uptick in performance from last year. Wonder if any specific change were made to his swing.
