Ball Security Posted August 3, 2023 Share Posted August 3, 2023 Just now, Riggo#44 said: Haha. Just beat me to it! Hassell is 0-2 with 2 k’s, but Wood, Lipscomb, and House are 4-6 including that HR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted August 4, 2023 Share Posted August 4, 2023 Hassell was supposed to have an elite hit tool, but his K rate is way too high for that to be true anymore. I think he's just one of those guys that was a pretty good prospect in low A and high A, but better competition exposes them. Lipscomb's now had multiple hits in 5 of his last 6 games. His K rate is still the same as it has always been in the minors. Just north of 18%. Maybe it's too early to swap Lipscomb and Hassell in the farm rankings, but one of them is thriving when moved to better competition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's too early to swap Lipscomb and Hassell in the farm rankings, but one of them is thriving when moved to better competition. No doubt about it. Hassell’s season has been disappointing. I do try to remind myself that at 21, he’s close to 3 years younger than the average AA. Lipscomb, for comparison is in his age 23 season. Talk about Hassell making the OD 24 team was premature. Let’s see how he does next year repeating AA after an offseason at full strength. But yeah, Lipscomb is a very exciting development. Especially if he shows well at 2B. House is having an outstanding year. But they have been very careful managing his workload with his back. Having a guy like Lipscomb who can bounce around the IF and give House necessary rest will be a big plus. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Lipscomb with a 3 hit game. Where did this come from? I wish we had some reporting on it. Is it a brand new approach, swing, etc or what? James Wood went 1-4, but it was a double that plated two. So that's sounds pretty good yet he also had 3 strikeouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Nice one tonight. Down 3-0, came back and tied it. The bullpen held it together and stranded the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth. Lane Thomas with two HR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 do yinz see why I wasn't pleased by the 3 of 4 to the Mets? Because the Mets have lost 3 straight and the Nats other than that series have routinely beat the Rangers, Giants and now the Reds. Those are good teams so "dey's gotz a better rkord" isn't a good excuse. Show up and play hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball Security Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Armando Cruz had 4 hits today in the double header. If he can develop that hit tool, he can make it. He’s still on the young side for single A. Morales had a double, triple, and got on base five times. Fredericksburg has been on a tear since the drafted guys joined. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted August 5, 2023 Author Share Posted August 5, 2023 We've won series against good teams too: Texas, SF, and Milwaukee. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Joan Adon is making the start today. So they’ll need to send a reliever down. Williams has been away from the team because of a death in the family. With the off day on Thursday, they didn’t have to make this move. As Gore and Irvin’s innings add up, we may see for of Adon and Rutledge in September. EDIT: Mason Thompson to the IL.

Gave up two singles and a homer and ended up with 6IP and 3ER. Puts pressure on the org to give him another start. Don’t know if they will though.

Pickney has really quick wrists. He looks the part. If he develops, this could be their best draft class since returning to Washington. Morales looks like he should move to 1B, but damn if he didn’t look like Machado going behind the bag in the 1st inning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
