Noesi surrenders first runs of the year
ByOne year ago today on DotF, Justin Christian and Brett Gardner hit back-to-back homers in game two of Triple-A Scranton’s against Pawtucket.
Hector Noesi is your South Atlantic League Pitcher of the Week. Noesi had a 0.00 ERA, 0.51 WHIP, .117 BAA, and a 35-5 K/BB ratio in 27.1 IP coming in to tonight. Hot damn.

Double-A Trenton had a scheduled off day.
High-A Tampa‘s game was postponed due to wet grounds. They’re going to play two tomorrow.
Low-A Charleston (6-5 loss to Bowling Green) I’m not liking Tampa Bay’s new affiliate in Bowling Green, not a fan of the central time zone

Cory Arbiso: 2.2 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 3 K, 3-2 GB/FB
Brad Rulon: 0.1 IP, zeroes – didn’t even record a traditional out, an inherited runner was caught stealing





Oyy Marky, we’ve all heard about his focus and fortitude lets see how he handles this little slump he’s been in since being called up.
At least he’s gotten some of that adversity/challenge everyone was talking about
Word. Gotta get back on that horse.
Melancon seems to be struggling a bit.
hes off the fertility drugs
I think you mean Rulon 0.1 IP
Thanks, fixed.
The inherited runner being thrown out accounts for 1 out. What about the other out?
I goofed, he threw just one-third of an inning, not two.
Brewer having a fine year thus far
Will Fossum be released or be a throw in in a trade?
With Kennedy out and Aceves in the Show — and Hughes likely to spend at least part of the year in the bigs as well — I expect he’ll stick around in AAA. He could even earn his way to the bigs as a swingman.
I wouldn’t bet against Fossum being a call up.
DOTF posts get me psyched for the draft.
Ditto. I’ve actually planned to work from home that day, since I’d miss the 1st hour due to my commute, lol.
+1
“High-A Tampa’s game was postponed due to wet grounds. They’re going to play two tomorrow.”
I seriously doubt it. Raining like crazy here in Florida.
Not very sunny, you might say, eh?
As long as I’m here, it’s always sunny in Daytona.
Was going to say the same thing, I’m in South FL right now, couldn’t see a foot in front of me on the highway, freakin pouring and I hear it’s pretty much the same in Tampa and Orlando. Good luck with that
What’s Noesi’s celling? Is he really that good or was it just one heck of a week?
3 more K’s for jackson. not good. his BABIP is close to .500. not going to last
Mike. Seeing as someone mentioned draft…What are thoughts on A&M’s Alex Wilson? I’ve seen him fall to the Yankees in a couple of mock drafts (I know that means nothing at this point) and his scouting report looks very good. I’m intrigued.
