Bowling Green Series Wrap-up

I'm still trying to decide what this blog will look like when I'm not able to attend games. We'll see how this goes....
4/12/09-The final game of the Crawdads opening series vs. Bowling Green.
-Starting pitcher, 19 year old Carlos Pimentel (pronounced pee-mehn-tehl), pitched more innings than any starter thus far going 6 innings and allowing 7 hits, 2ER, 0 BB, 6 SO, 1 HR. After being submitted to Rangers-Tigers action the last few days, I'm really drawn to the 0 BB stat.
-It ticks me off that I missed Wilmer Font, the man-child. 3 of his K's were the "strikes out swinging" variety.
-After the 4 error (should have been more if the score keeper wasn't so generous) debacle opening night, the Crawdads have not been charged with an error. Jacob Kaase is starting to play the infield after being the DH for two games. He's played 2b and SS. I've got my eye on this one. He's about to turn 23 and has a lot of middle infielders in the system ahead of him. It will be interesting to see how his story develops.
-I'm keeping another eye on Timmy Rodriguez. The outfielder had 37 AB's in high-A Bakersfield last year but hit a paltry .081 with 11 strikeouts. Timmy didn't play the first two games of the series but he caught my eye on day one. Tall, big, smiling guy that's always swinging the bat or laughing with a teammate. Rodriguez played the last two games and in 7 AB's has 4 hits and a stolen base.
-Clark Murphy finally got his first two hits of the season. More importantly for Clark, he did not strikeout on this night. He's settling in. Opening night he seemed to be lacking confidence or distracted or something. The 19 year old's body language is improving. Watch out.
