Catching up

By

In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been slacking off lately because of the World Series. Here’s three days worth of games. Well, two and a half.

AzFL Surprise (9-0 loss to Peoria Saguaros on Wednesday)
Colin Curtis: 1 for 4, 1 K
Brandon Laird: 0 for 3, 1 BB, 2 K
Zach Kroenke: 1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 2 K, 1-0 GB/FB - 16 of 28 pitches were strikes (57.1%) … PitchFX had him at 88.85-90.2 with his fastball
Mike Dunn: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 2 BB, 1 K, 1-1 GB/FB – just 13 of 27 pitches were strikes (48.2%) … PFX had him at 94.41-95.3 with the heat

AzFL Surprise (3-0 win over Scottsdale on Thursday)
Colin Curtis: 1 for 4, 1 2B
Brandon Laird: 0 for 4, 1 K – 0 for his last 10 and 2 for his last 15

AzFL Surprise (the game is tied at five in the ninth, and I don’t feel like waiting around … here’s the box score)
Ian Kennedy: 4 IP, 4 H, 2 R, 2 Er, 0 BB, 4 K, 4-4 GB/FB – 43 of 69 pitches were strikes (62.3%) … PFX says he was sitting between 90.98-93.4, and hit the high end of that range near the end of his outing
Grant Duff: 0 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 3 ER, 2 BB, 0 K – just 11 of 23 pitches were strikes (47.8%) … PFX had him at 93.13-94.3
Mike Dunn: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K, 1-0 GB/FB – 11 of 14 pitches were strikes (78.6%) … he came in and bailed Duff out in a big way … PFX had him at 92.98-93.7

    Kennedy can touch 93+? Woo!

  2. Short Porch says:

    How about that 17:1 K/BB ratio!

  3. Reggie C. says:

    Its probably an flash and aberrant spike in velocity, but that’s gotta mean that Kennedy must be 100% healthy. If he can hit 93 again in his next 4 inning appearance, i think we got to start debating his trade value.

    • Accent Shallow says:

      It can’t be that much after being both hurt and terrible in the majors, can it? Sure, the MiL stats are gaudy, but he doesn’t quite have the stuff to match it.

      I say keep him around until next July at least.

  4. Ben says:

    why would trade him, didn’t we see the value of young pitchers waitning in AAA?? you always need the 6th and 7th sarter waiting.
    #or maybe they pull a joba and hughes with him and put him in the bulpen we all saw he can work out of a jam.
    #sarcasm
