Kinda flew under the radar this weekend, but Jackson Jobe with 2IP, 4K's this weekend... good to see!

That is one way to reduce the amount of hits on routine grounders to Isaak Pacheco

Might be a challenge to make that a highly-repeatable delivery

Alex Faedo's first start for Toledo tonight!

[romad1]

Faedo is shoving!?

I posted that in the first inning.  He didn't do that badly.  I'll give him credit.

[mtutiger]

Wonder how much runway Faedo needs before getting a looksie in the big leagues...

Update:

Olson came out and got one out in the 6th but surrendered another run.

In the second game of the 7inning DH. Wolf: 5ip, 4H, 0R, 2BB 7K. Parker Meadows 2/5 2B, BB for the DH.

I would guess not much if Mize or Manning is out very long. Faedo's 26, he's over 500IP NCAA + MiLB. If he does continue to handle AAA hitters, there doesn't seem much of anything to gain for him at AAA.

I never understood the term "shoving" for pitchers.  I know it's a word scouting types like to use, but it makes no sense for a pitcher.  Is there an origin I don't know about?

Sounds right, he may get some action soon.

I didn't find any info on his velo but I did see that Faedo had 17 WHiffs in his start, apparently the slider was pretty nasty.

I remember a guy who shoved the ball, he was in the Orioles bullpen in the late 60s and his name was Dick Hall, and of course we all referred to him as Dick All.  He was a right-hander who pushed the ball out from his right shoulder.  In our late teens in the late 60s, warming up before the game, half of the guys would be doing Luis Tiant and the other half would be doing Dick Hall.

No, I don't know any origin story.  Its as you say: slang the cool kids use.  Hence, as an uncool kid I was using it ironically. 

Glad to see he pitched well.  That would be a nice story.

Can he hit?

[RatkoVarda]

Short 3HR; Clemens HR as everyone hit in 14-0 win

Kreidler DNP; had 2 HBPs Tuesday, including one on his hand so hopefully no long term issue there

and for WMI, Dylan Smith had is 1st stumble after 3 impressive outings, 4 IP 5H 2BB HBP 3K 5R

Wenceel Perez starting to get hot at WMI... maybe following Meadows soon?

I was Luis Tiant.  I imitated him so much that it became my natural pitching motion.  When I pitched in Little League, I was pitching like him without even realizing it.

Wenceel Perez 5/2 and his 4th HR tonight. 1.069 OPS at WM. What's up with that? - he's fallen off all the prospect lists.

Madden takes a loss despite giving up 0 ER in 5IP with only 3H 1 BB  4 K against 1 HR.

Parker Meadows with 3BB for Erie.

Hens: Wentz 4.2 IP, 2H 0R 2BB 4K. Short with a 1.015 OPS and we are watching Harold giving up defensive runs by the carton.

Should be noted, for all the Harold talk, that Kreidler is on the IL... hopefully nothing too serious

It was posted earlier in this thread he got hit by a pitch in one of their recent games, assume it's because of that.
