NOTES


It was home runs for everyone night for Buffalo. Steward Berroa in the first inning, Damiano Palmegiani also in the first inning, Brian Serven in the fourth inning, Cam Eden in the fourth inning and Palmegiani again in the seventh inning. Palmegiani had four runs batted in, he and Berroa had two hits each.


Chad Dallas returned from the IL and rehab to pitch four innings. He shut Scranton out on two hits with four K's. Eric Swanson seems to be going backwards, he gave up three runs and has an 11.57 ERA in AAA.


For Vancouver, Connor O'Halloran could not get out of the second inning. He gave up seven runs in that inning before he was pulled from the game. Rafael Ohashi followed and he conceded four more runs. He did strikeout five of the eight outs he recorded.


Jommer Hernandez and Robert Brooks each had three hits, Jommer drove in four runs.


Ricky Tiedemann made a rehab start for Dunedin. Ricky went two perfect innings with four K's, 28 pitches. Grant Rogers went 5.1 innings and shutout Daytona on three hits.


This game went to the eleventh inning. At that time Daytona had three hits and Dunedin had two, no offense to speak of. In the bottom of the eleventh Robert Robertis homered to send everyone home.

Leo Jimenez reached base 3 times in 5 trips last night, twice by getting plunked (unfortunately).  He now has 10 HBP in 192 PAs this year, or over 30 per year.  He managed 410 PAs last year, but durability is going to be an issue for him.

His line for the year is .279/.422/.442, good for a 133 wRC+.  It's driven by medium range pop, an almost even W/K and a totally sustainable BABIP.  The projection systems have him as .233/.320/.337 hitter in the major leagues, good for a 93 wRC+.  For a fine-fielding shortstop, that will play.  Ernie Clement's projection is for a little more O and a little less D, and both are likely to be average-ish major league players, with Clement probably  a little ahead as of today.  Jimenez has just turned 23, and if he continues to improve modestly, could be a valuable player in a few years.

The recent performance of super prospect Rafael Ohashi in Vancouver is not at all concerning. Bad luck is all. A bounce back is imminent.

Ohashi's 15 walks in 27 innings this year after 51 walks in 94 innings last year was:

a. the result of horrible umpiring, or
b. a hidden strength- it has been a good wild and keeping batters on their toes.

Discuss.

Ohashi was very successful with low H, bb & Ks. Then he changed to trying to get higher K numbers which he was very successful in doing. This also increased his bb & Hits with very bad results. This is Vancouver so maybe he has to increase his K rate to succeed higher up.

Arjun Nimmala is back in the FCL today for the first time in 11 days.

Yes. Exactly.
