MONDAY MINORS THREAD 8/5/19; Moves ahead?

Pache goes 2-5, and Waters betters him by going 3-5.

Anderson got lit up a bit in his AAA debut.

Not much else matters.
 
Maybe, but 4 BBs in 3 IP gives ammo to the "he's striking out impatient AA hitters" crowd.

I did mention to you when I watched his highlight vids he got a lot of K's on hitters swinging at pitches out of the zone that ML caliber hitters will foul off over and over making him throw more stress pitches.

I don't know how big the jump in hitter discipline quality there is from AA to AAA but if he ain't foolin guys in AAA with his low spin rates I don't care how downhill he throws he's going to be a big bust when he gets to the bigs.
 
I'm not going to read too much into a rough couple innings for Anderson in his AAA debut. I'll wait for a significant sample size.

I still can't wait to see his statcast data.
