New Hampshire trailed 8-1 but came back to win 11-8 in a rain shortened game. Vancouver only trailed by one in the eighth but they too rallied to win as did the FCL Jays. Dunedin won and found a way to drive in runners in scoring position without hits. Maybe the big club could learn from them.

NOTES


Michael Dominguez made his second start for NH. Nick Ward for Reading homered to lead off the game and homwered again when he came up in the third inning. Ward hit a sac fly in the fifth to make it three runs off Dominguez. Dominguez was pulled after 4.1 innings. He only allowed three hits, but he walked four and struck out four. For a second start in AA it was decent and hopefully something to build on. Troy Watson followed and he gave up four runs ame it an 8-1 game and a win looked to be out of reach.


But NH scored five runs in the sixth. Doubles by Leo Jimenez and Damiano Palmegiani and a triple from Will Robertson were the big hits. Aplmegiani came back up in the seventh with two on and hit his 14th home run to give NH a 9-8 lead. Robertson then doubled in another run and scored on a wild pitch to make it 11-8. Then the rains came and the game was called, a seven inning win for NH.


Palmegiani had five RBI, Robertson two. Michael Turconi was 0-2 in his AA debut, but he walked twice and scored two runs. With Turconi arriving, Trevor Schwecke was promoted to AAA.


Vancouver gave up two runs in the top of the eighth to turn a 1-0 lead in a 1-2 game. Dasan Brown led off the bottom of the eighth by getting hit with a pitch. Garrett Spain singled him to third. The tying run came in on a wild pitch and Peyton Williams singled in the go ahead run. Earlier Kekai Rios had homered for the first run.


Devereaux Harrison started and went six shutout innings, four hits, seven K's.


Kendry Rojas started for Dunedin and went five innings. He gave up three runs, just one earned, on four hits with no walks. He struck out three.


Dunedin's five runs were scored as follows: two on groundouts, two on bases loaded walks, and one via a sac fly. In total they tallied six hits by six different hitters.


In the FCL Jean Joseph had a nice day, two hits, four RBI and his double in the eighth inning drove in the tying and winning runs.

BA's updated top 100 prospects is up. Tiedemann is #39 and Orelvis is #60.

Baltimore has seven players on the list and six in the top 50. Here are their rankings and draft position:

Holliday #1 (drafted #1 overall)
Cowser #12 (drafted #5 overall)
Mayo #27 (drafted #103 overall)
Westburg #33 (drafted #30 overall)
Basallo #49 (signed out of DR for $1.3m)
Kjerstad #50 (drafted #2 overall)
Ortiz #72 (drafted #108 overall)

Bottom line is Baltimore is excellent now and they're probably going to be excellent for a long time. Time for the Jays to aggressively improve their prospect acquisition, scouting and development processes.

Jace Bohofren and Braden Barry are off to nice starts at Dunedin, and have been hot tonight.

Ricky T did not make it out of the first inning.

The significant injuries this year suggest that Tiedemann may not be cut out to be a starting pitcher. Maybe he’ll end up becoming a good power lefty out of the bullpen. That would be unfortunate, but, as we all know, TINSTAAPP.

It looks like Tiedemann threw 31 pitches in the first inning. He could have been removed for pitch count reasons, not injury.

The significant injuries this year suggest that Tiedemann may not be cut out to be a starting pitcher.
What significant injuries? Didn't he suffer a bicep injury, from which he actually returned in the same season with full recovery of his velocity/stuff? He was just bad last night and got pulled for pitch count reasons. This is hardly groundbreaking. No organization is going to let a pitcher just coming back from injury to labour through 30+ pitch innings. It's not an indication of anything.

BA on Tiedemann:

“Health has been the only thing keeping Tiedemann from ranking as the top pitching prospect in baseball. His fastball, slider and changeup are all above-average or better and when on he shows command of his arsenal to both sides of the plate. Unfortunately, Tiedemann has dealt with shoulder and biceps injuries that have limited his innings.”

Tiedemann has thrown a total of 100 innings over the last two years (21.1 innings this year). What is a realistic number of innings for him to throw next year? It's hard to see him joining the Jays rotation before 2025, assuming he stays healthy and builds up his stamina.
Gerry - Saturday, August 12 2023 @ 07:58 PM EDT (#434171) #
Tiedemann should be a candidate for the fall league to give him more innings.
