River Ave. Blues ยป Eric Hacker is not a fan of pitch counts

Eric Hacker is not a fan of pitch counts

April 8, 2008 by Mike 17 Comments

Hip, hip, oh, no.
How Hughes has changed my perspective on Melky

Triple-A Scranton (1-0 loss to Louisville)
Justin Christian & Greg Porter: both 1 for 4 – Christian K’ed three times … Porter stole a base and K’ed once
Cody Ransom: 0 for 4
Juan Miranda: 0 for 2, 2 BB – 6 games into a year, and he still hasn’t K’ed
Eric Duncan: 0 for 3, 1 BB, 2 K
Alberto Gonzalez & Bernie Castro: both 1 for 2 – the Former Attorney General K’ed once … Castro took a base on balls, stole one base and was caught trying to swipe another
The Ghost of Kei Igawa: 4 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K, 1 WP, 2-4 GB/FB – 50 of 74 pitches were strikes (67.6%)
Chris Britton: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 0 K, 2-3 GB/FB – 16 of 22 pitches were strikes (72.7%)
Jon Albaladejo: 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 3-1 GB/FB
Edwar Ramirez: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K – typical Edwar outing … 7 of 8 pitches were strikes

Double-A Trenton (5-1 win over Altoona)
Ramiro Pena: 2 for 5, 1 2B, 1 K
Austin Jackson: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 SB – and just like that, he doubles his hit total on the year
Jose Tabata: 2 for 4, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 1 SB – already 3 steals on the year
Colin Curtis: 1 for 5, 1 RBI – GIDP’ed
Marcos Vechionacci & Reegie Corona: both 1 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 K – Vech drove in one run, Corona drove in two … Vech is off the great start, with 3 doubles and 7 hits in 6 games
Chase Wright: 5 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 1 BB, 4 K, 7-4 GB/FB
Steven Jackson: 3 IP, zeroes, 7 K, 1-1 GB/FB – dominant
Bo Hall: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K

High-A Tampa (1-0 win over Dunedin, walk-off style)
Chris Kunda: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 2B – Damon Sublett must be hurt, he hasn’t played since last week
Mitch Hilligoss: 1 for 4, 1 BB, 2 K – intentionally walked in extras to get to…
Edwar Gonzalez: 2 for 5, 1 RBI, 1 K, 1 CS – walk-off single
Seth Fortenberry & Kyle Anson: both 1 for 3, 1 BB, 1 K – Fortenberry’s walk was intentional
Braedyn Pruitt: 0 for 4 – batting .000-.000-.000 after 6 games
Kevin Smith: 1 for 4, 1 2B, 3 K
Eric Hacker: 7 IP, zeroes, 6 K, 11-4 GB/FB – took a perfect game into the 8th, but was removed because he reached his pitch count
Sean Henn: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 2 K, 1-3 GB/FB – coughs up the perfecto and no-no by giving up a hit to the first man he faces
Jon Hovis: 1 IP, zeroes, 1 K

Low-A Charleston (7-3 in over Savannah)
Abe Almonte & Wady Rufino: both 2 for 5, 1 K – Almonte was picked off first
Justin Snyder: 3 for 5, 2 R, 1 SB
Bradley Suttle: 3 for 5, 1 R, 1 K – hitting a cool .500-.556-.750
Jesus Montero: 2 for 5, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 K – started behind the plate
Brandon Laird: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 BB, 1 K
Carmen Angelini: 1 for 2, 1 R, 1 RBI, 1 BB
David Williams: 1 for 2, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 RBI, 2 BB – 5 RBI in his last 3 games
Dellin Betances: 5.1 IP, 2 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 6 BB, 8 K, 1 E (pickoff), 3-4 GB/FB – it’s going to take him some time to get his mechanics right with that big gangly frame, so gets used to seeing lines like this
Craig Heyer: 2.2 IP, 4 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 0 BB, 1 K, 5-2 GB/FB
Jon Ortiz: 1 IP, zeroes, 2 K
