Loading ...24 year-old Bobby Livingston (Mariners #4 – 2001) pitched another great game. Livingston threw 7 innings giving up just 4 H, 2 ER, and 0 BB while striking out 4.
23 year-old RF, Cody Strait (Reds #12 – 2004) went 2 for 5 with a 2B and an RBI. Strait, from Beaumont, TX, is hitting just .234/.300/.422.
24 year-old Calvin Medlock (Reds #39 – 2002) tossed two more scoreless innings. He now has 9.2 consecutive scoreless innings. He has a 1.69 ERA with 17 Ks, 1 BB, and 7 H in 10.2 IP.
22 year-old James Avery (Reds #5 – 2005) bounced back nicely from his last terrible start, going 6 IP giving up 3 H, a BB and 2 ER while striking out 5. He has a 4.22 ERA with 16 K, 4 BB, and 21 H in 21.1 IP.
Sarasota DNP; the FSL doesn’t play on Sunday.
22 year-old center fielder Drew Stubbs (Reds #1 – 2006) went 2 for 4 with a 2-run HR. Last years #1 pick is now hitting .357/.410/.500. Last year at Billings, Stubbs hit .252/.368/.400.
21 year-old starting pitcher Daryl Thompson (Expos #8 – 2003) pitched his 3rd straight gem. Thompson, who we obtained for just Ryan Wagner, Austin Kearns and Felipe Lopez, now has a 0.53 ERA, with 13 K, 1 BB, and 10 H in 17 IP. You have to wonder, if the rest of the trade keeps looking as bad as it does, whether Krivsky will want to move Thompson as quickly as possible.
I was at the Dragons game yesterday and Thompson was impressive. But I thought he had a very “funky” motion…also Chris Heisey had two nice grabs in LF. Stubbs has 3 errors already this season, but he seems to catch EVERYTHING in CF and makes it look easy. He just glides…
Bill,
Any idea how hard Thompson was throwing? That is one thing I havent heard about him since he came back from surgery. Also, not sure if you saw it but I responded on the last DOTF thread to the Milton Loo question if you didn’t see it.
We need a real reliever. Not another project, a proven guy that can pitch well now. We’ve got outfielders and infielders to spare. I hate to say it, but if this keeps up, someone’s got to go. I say give it some more time to come around.
The radar gun wasn’t working, I don’t think. But he seemed to be throwing hard to me…that Rojas kid throws HARD.
From todays DDN
Coming off the injury, one concern was whether Thompson would regain the hop on his fastball. Radar-gun readings this season in the low 90-mph range apparently have answered that question to the Reds’ satisfaction.
Probably should have just checked before I asked lol.
