Ah, Lynn, he hit for a 754OPS last year with a 304 BABIP. This year he has a 625 BABIP in 14 plate appearances. Tough luck with the injury, but let’s not get too excited. Save that for Franyerber! 😎

Why did Jaden Hamm leave after an inning last night?

I can't find anything on Twitter but he did have 30+ pitches in that first inning and I know there is an org mandate around the amount of pitches in an inning can't remember if it's 30 or 40 though.

I'm rusty as heck at Tables so I'm going to post this "dirty" and then see if I can clean it up correctly (position players of interest/ note, not everybody included). PPOS = primary position, there could still be other positions a player is playing but I gave a primary where it seemed appropriate. Vilade got a UT (utility) designation because he's played a few games at almost every single spot in the field. Excepting SS and catcher. YTD Table:

Max Clark walked, was singled to 2nd and then stole 3rd against a RHP, came home on another single to score Lakeland's first run in the 1st inning.

Eddys Leonard on his rehab down in Lakeland was one of those singles...

I’m sure you’re correct and I agree having both is outstanding. I think we got McMonigle with money saved from passing on Langford. Not sure if that’s correct but in my mind it was  two for one.  

That's what I remember too.

Something you don't see in a box score very often: Lakeland has 12 BB in their game today. Every player in the starting lineup has at least one.

Welp, kinda. I thought they were 100% robo zone, but found an article from March on BA.

https://www.baseballamerica.com/stories/milb-rules-changes-for-2024-will-tweak-strike-zone-in-triple-a/

Quote

For 2024, the experimental rules across the minor leagues won’t change dramatically from 2023, but there will be some tweaks, Baseball America has learned.

The biggest changes will be the continued attempts to tweak and improve the automated ball-strike (ABS) strike zone. MLB will be running two different types of measurement for ABS for Triple-A and the Low-A Florida State League.

Quote

The ABS system experiments will continue in Triple-A and in nine of the 10 parks in the Florida State League (all but Daytona).

For Tuesday-Thursday games in Triple-A and the ABS-equipped FSL parks, the ABS system will call all pitches. The home plate umpire will relay the call after hearing it in their earpiece. The ABS challenge system will be in effective for Friday through Sunday games. The home plate umpire will call pitches, but the batter, pitcher or catcher can appeal their strike call. The ABS system will then rule on whether the call stands or is overturned. Each team gets three unsuccessful challenges per game. Successful challenges do not count toward that total. All challenges must be made within two seconds of the call.

Quote

The strike zones for Triple-A and the Florida State League will be different. In Triple-A, the strike zone will be 17-inches wide (the width of the plate) with a two-dimensional rectangle at the midpoint of the plate. The top and bottom of the strike zone will be set at 53.5% and 27% of the batter’s height. While the width and bottom of the zone are the same as last year, the top of the strike zone has increased by 2.5%.

Last year, the strike zone was deliberately lowered at the top to reduce the number of swings and misses on high fastballs. However, that adjustment inadvertently resulted in a significant rise in walks, outweighing any decrease in strikeouts.

In the International League, runs per game increased by .52 (4.98 to 5.50), while walks increased from 4.0 to 4.8 per nine innings and hits increased from 8.7 to 9.0 per nine innings. The strikeout rate remained flat at 9.2 per nine innings.

In the Florida State League, the zone will be quite different. Most importantly, the width of the zone in the FSL will be 20 inches (three more than in Triple-A). Like Triple-A, it will be measured as a rectangle set at the middle of the plate.

The top and bottom of the zone will use the Hawk-Eye visual tracking system. The bottom of the zone will be set to the height of a hitter’s back knee, while the top of the zone will be set based on the midpoint of a batter’s hips, with the goal of making the top of the zone equal to one baseball above a batter’s belt. If a hitter’s stance changes, the strike zone will change as well, but it will be based on a rolling median of the hitter’s stance on previous pitches that have been put in play. So a hitter who tries to manipulate the zone by taking pitches but not swinging from an exaggerated crouch will not be rewarded.

 

I was wrong. I thought they were 100% automatic, but they had the challenge system, and a bigger strike zone.

Interesting. My wife and I are going on a driving trip, during which we’re going to see a Wednesday game in Erie and a Thursday game in Allentown; then we’re going to see a game the following Thursday in Harrisburg and a Friday game in Toledo. So I will see two and two. This will be interesting.

Awesome!

I bought tickets for this Tuesday when Erie is in Richmond. Attending that with my son. Had hoped to see Jobe in that series but doesn’t look like he’ll be back this week.
Not Tigers related but my wife and I got tickets for the June 18th game at Rickwood Field in Birmingham. The opponent is  Montgomery. I have wanted to attend a game at Rickwood for years. The following night the Barons and Biscuits play at Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery. We’ll see that game as well. Looking forward to that excursion. Can’t beat MiLB road trips.
