Batter's Box Interactive Magazine - Carnline Mows Them Down

Billy Carnline gave up a lead off single and decided enough was enough. The affiliates went 2-1 on the night.

A 4 spot in the 7th was the difference for the Chiefs. Santos led off with a double, advanced to third on a groundout and scored on a Roberts single. Following a Barker walk Mottola double to drive in two. John Hattig drove in Barker with a single. Mottola and Hattig each had 3 hits and Sergio Santos had 2 hits.

David Purcey got the start for Syracuse. He gave up one run on three walks and a double, striking out 5. He left after 4 innings and 89 pitches. Weber, Houston, Tallet and Gronkiewicz finished off the game allowing only one unearned run. Game Over struck out the side in the 9th for the save.

New Hampshire 1 @ Harrisburg 4

Davis Romero had a mixed night. He gave up 4 runs in 6 innings, but gave up 6 hits and a walk to go with 7 Ks. His K/BB ratio for the year is 22/3 in AA.

The Fisher Cats had just 2 hits on the night.

Cedar Rapids 0 @ Lansing 4

Billy Carnline gave up a leadoff single and then retired the next 18 batters. Last year's 12th round pick now sports a 0.41 ERA and a 25:1 K/BB ratio to start the year and is likely looking at a promotion to Dunedin shortly.

Cory Patton led the Nuts at the plate going 4-4 with three doubles and three RBIs. Brian Pettway chipped in with a solo home run, his 4th on the year.

Three Stars!
3rd star - John Hattig

Even more amazing is the 8H that Carnline has allowed in 22IP.

What does Carnline throw/how hard does he throw?

In BA's draft review last season they mention Carnline in the best fastball category behind Robert Ray. BA said Carnline could get it up to 94. Lansing Lugnut fan says Carnline is around 92 with a slider and change. Remember that location and deeception are as important as speed.

Lugnut Fan - does Carnline have anything unusual in his delivery?

New Hampshire played this afternoon and lost again, the hitters managed only 4 hits.

Dunedin are winning and new call up Anthony Hatch is 2-3.

Lansing are in extras.

Gerry,

No, he doesn't have anything unusual in his delivery, or his arm angle. He just throws his fastball, slider and change up. I'm kind of hesitant to talk much about his change up because he really doesn't throw it. His slider is pretty sharp and he gets quite a few K's on it. I didn't get a chance to see his start on Tuesday, but according to the Lansing State Journal, he said that he only threw about five sliders and five change ups, so his start on Tuesday was he stuck mostly with the fastball.

I would imagine that as the weather gets warmer, Billy will add a few MPH on his fastball and probably get it up to 94 or 95. Of course, I don't think that he will be here in Lansing much longer.
