5/14 MILB Thread
Intriguing game between Myrtle Beach and Frederick highlights early action. Brian Matusz had pitched two scoreless before Heyward took him deep in the third. Heyward also has a walk. After a brilliant 13 K outing last time, we'll see how Matusz does in this one.
Starters to look for later include -
Daryl Thompson, Jeff Samardzija, Neftali Feliz, Bud Norris, Evan Anundsen, Alejeandro Sanabia (see this week's Rotowire show), Brett Hunter, William Smith, Bret Lorin, Casey Kelly, TJ House vs Wilmer Font, Ross Seaton, Jason Knapp, Matt Moore, Jeurys Familia
Post away.
Fields sidelined by sore shoulder
Josh Fields, Seattle's top pick last June, has pitched just once since April 30th (a poor outing on May 5th).
Why?
According a Diamond Jaxx beat writer, "He'd had some shoulder soreness last week when they were in town."
He's not on the DL, and hopefully it's nothing major, but as Kevin Goldstein wrote last month:
"He could get a late-season look, that is unless his arm falls off, as one scout who saw him recently categorized his mechanics as "some of the most violent I've seen in recent memory."
You might be able to put two and two together on this one.

Not relevant to today's games, but ..
Mat Latos is looking mighty gross these days.

Heyward went yard on Matusz...
He came into last night’s game hitting .242/.318/.432 -.750 OPS, he’s currrently hitting .270/.362/.520 -.882 OPS. Watch out Carolina League. Looks like the hip is healthy and he’s about to go on a tear.
They’re going into extras in Frederick, by the way…
Tommy Hanson 4 ROY
Wieters misses Reimold
2 jacks in his first 2 ABs tonight.
Good start for Knapp
3 Innings, 1 Hit, 5 K’s
3:1 GB:FB
No, I just worded it poorly
Realized it after I submitted it lol
brett hunter has terrible control
5 walks in 3 innings. 20 in 17 coming into the start.
damn.

new delivery
from my understanding, the A’s gave him a new delivery that he is still trying to work out. I’m predicting a few starts like this until he gets used to said delivery.
Casey Kelly
6 IP, 3 Ks, 0 BBs, 2 hits, no runs. That means he’s given up only 4 ERs in 37.1 IP
Oscar Tejeda went 1/3 with a double.

Will Smith
6 IP, 2 R, 6 H, 1 BB, 7 Ks. Nice to see he’s back on track after spending time on the DL.
a NEFTALI sighting
5 innings – 1 h – 1er – 1 hr – 1 bb – 7ks – 76 pitches
Nice to see the "minor" shoulder issue truly was minor
Only 1 bb is encouraging, too. 3 bb in his last two outings. It’s a start.

6’3" 20 year old RHP already with AA Akron in the Indians system, tonight went 8 IP, 0 R, 0 BB, 4 H, 8 Ks. In 20 AA IP he’s got 18 Ks, 1 BB, 9 H, and a GB rate pushing near 60%. It’s time to start tracking him.
Who is he? What's his stuff, etc?

Seems to be some discrepancy on his age though, some places have him as 21 already, some don’t have him turning 21 until October.

Spruill has another solid outing, showing great control and continues to make a name for himself in a system deep in pitching:
