| Its funny how certain players around here will get 1000 chances | |
| no matter how bad they suck and some will get written off | |
| instantly no matter how good they are. | |
| It looks like Matt Mervis is another one who's not gonna get | |
| many chances around these parts. | |

| I bet if we just signed a 25 year old left handed Japanese 1st | |
| baseman named Wang Suk Tanahashi who just hit .282 with 22 HRs | |
| and 78 RBIs with a .932 OPS in Japan some here would be ready to | |
| build a statue of him. | |

| Here are the pitcher reports from Sunday's Padres - Cubs game at | |
| Sloan Park if anyone is interested: | |
| JAVIER ASSAD: | |
| FB: 91-94 | |
| CT: 87-90 | |
| SL: 79-81 | |
| COMMENT: Allowed three runs (two ER), surrendered three hits | |
| (two doubles and a single), and walked two in 1.1 IP (39 pitches | |
| - 24 strikes)... recorded no strikeouts... four swing & miss | |
| (two on FB and two on CT)... too much hard contact... really | |
| labored (slogged) in his second inning of work especially and | |
| was relieved after a one-out two-run bases-loaded single... | |
| BLAKE WHITNEY: | |
| FB: 91-93 | |
| SL: 83-85 | |
| COMMENT: Relieved Assad with one out in top of the second and | |
| runners on 1st & 2nd and retired both of the batters he faced | |
| (L-7 and K-looking) on eight pitches... two swing & miss (both | |
| on SL)... has a mediocre FB so he relies heavily on the SL... | |
| DANIEL PALENCIA: | |
| FB: 95-97 - T-99 | |
| CH: 89 | |
| COMMENT: 1-2-3 nine-pitch inning (L-5, 4-3, 4-1) although he was | |
| behind on the count against every hitter he faced and threw only | |
| four strikes... threw eight FB (no swing & miss)... was helped | |
| by a spectacular diving catch by Christopher Morel at 3rd base | |
| on a frozen rope headed toward LF to retire the inning's | |
| lead-off hitter... | |
| EDWIN ESCOBAR: | |
| FB: 93-94 | |
| SL: 83-86 | |
| CH: 81 | |
| COMMENT: Surrendered a screaming line-drive HR pulled over LF | |
| fence to lead-off batter (RH-hitting Jose Azocar) on his third | |
| pitch of the inning (94 MPH FB), then retired the next two | |
| hitters (a 5-3 GO and a seven-pitch K-swinging on SL), then | |
| walked two and was relieved after throwing 24 pitches (only 11 | |
| strikes - two swing & miss)... FB has decent velo but it is very | |
| straight & hittable... the two batters that he walked were both | |
| LH-hitters... he obviously struggles to throw strikes and so he | |
| would probably have difficulty pitching out of an MLB pen... | |
| JOSE ROMERO: | |
| FB: 93-94 | |
| CH: 81 | |
| COMMENT: Came into game with two outs and runners on 1st and 2nd | |
| and immediately threw a WP, and then retired the one batter he | |
| faced on a 6-3 GO on his fifth pitch after starting the AB by | |
| throwing three consecutive balls... no swing & miss... | |
| CAM SANDERS: | |
| FB: 97-98 | |
| SL/CT: 88 | |
| CH: 83 | |
| CV: 80 | |
| COMMENT: Mixed high-octane FB with three different | |
| secondaries... worked fast and retired the side 1-2-3 on nine | |
| pitches (K-swinging, 6-3, K-looking)... threw eight strikes and | |
| only one ball... If he can throw strikes while maintaining velo | |
| like he did today he could be a high-leverage MLB RP... | |
| CHRIS CLARKE: | |
| FB: 91-93 | |
| SL: 82-84 | |
| CH: 81 | |
| COMMENT: Nibbled his way through the inning... needed 27 pitches | |
| (18 strikes) to retire the side... five foul balls and only one | |
| swing & miss... allowed two runs (both unearned thanks to a | |
| Moises Ballesteros boot at 1st base to start the inning) on | |
| three hits (all singles)... no walks & no strikeouts... he is a | |
| "pitch-to-contact" type and he fits the profile of a pitcher | |
| with the ceiling of a AAA 5th starter... can't see him being of | |
| any use working out of the pen... | |
| FRANKIE SCALZO JR: | |
| FB: 95-96 | |
| SL/CT: 89 | |
| CH: 83 | |
| CV: 78-81 | |
| COMMENT: Threw a shutout inning although he did allow a hard-hit | |
| two-out double... needed 21 pitches (13 strikes - only one swing | |
| & miss and six foul balls) to retire the side... has the pitch | |
| repertoire of a multi-inning "bulk" guy... | |
| RILEY MARTIN: | |
| FB: 93-94 | |
| SL: 81-84 | |
| COMMENT: Threw a shutout inning (13 pitches - only seven strikes | |
| - no swing & miss).. allowed a hard-hit two-out double... | |
| alternated FB/SL... | |
| CAYNE UECKERT: | |
| FB: 94-97 | |
| SL: 83-85 | |
| COMMENT: Worked one inning and allowed a run on back-to-back | |
| two-out doubles (one smoked into the CF-RF gap and the other | |
| looped into short RF)... threw 12 pitches (11 strikes - two | |
| swing & miss)...[/quote] | |

| Shaw got a couple innings at 3B, I see. Doesn't look like the | |
| ball found him. | |

| He caught one soft line drive to his left, if I remember right. | |
| Don't remember any ground balls. | |
