David Price recorded his first regular season win last night going 5.2 IP giving up 1 ER and striking out 11 Twins. For the season Price has 9 IP and 17 Ks but he also has 7 BBs. Wieters got his 1st MLB hit last night going 2-4 with a 2B and a 3B both off Verlander. Fernando Martinez also recorded his first MLB hit yesterday going 2-5 with a 2B and a RBI.
Baseball America on Kyle Skipworth:
"Kyle Skipworth, C, Marlins: Scouts who have seen Skipworth play in the minor leagues have come away scratching their heads over a player they liked as an amateur. The sixth overall pick last year out of a California high school, Skipworth has had trouble making contact with even marginal pitches as a pro. Scouts who saw Skipworth, 19, hit .208/.263/.340 with 46 strikeouts in 176 plate appearances in the Rookie-level Gulf Coast League were confused, and those concerns are only getting greater with Skipworth struggling to a .167/.221/.292 start with 38 strikeouts in 105 plate appearances for low Class A Greensboro. Even as Greensboro tagged Lake County righthander Alex Perez for eight runs (including four homers) in three innings, Skipworth struck out swinging in both of his at-bats against Perez, whiffing at five of the six pitches he swung at."
Texas Baseball Coach Trying to Kill Senior Pitcher
Yesterday Texas and Boston College played the longest game in NCAA history, 25 innings, and Texas pitcher, Austin Wood, threw 169 pitches over 13 innings. Per Keith Law, this kid is going to get drafted and I understand the "win at all cost" mentality but this is crazy. Source: Keith Law
