A Few quick thoughts-

All in all this was another strong week for the system, maybe not as hot as last week but as a whole the system looks to be finishing strong.

‘sup with that?

I know what you’re thinking, “Hudson Head hit .200 and struck out 35% of the time”. You’re not wrong, and I am really hoping the K rate is way down next week (has been headed in a positive direction for weeks) But one thing I do love here: the OBP and walk rate were fantastic. If Head is to continue to develop he HAS to continue to shrink that zone and show pitchers a better approach, a 25% walk rate is higher then it needs to be but if they aren’t giving you something to drive, take your bag. Hopefully a good sign moving forward.

Mike Burrows and Quinn Priester both appeared headed for good starts on Sunday and both pulled extremely early. Quinn after 3 IP(50 pitches) and Burrows after 2 IP(32 pitches). While neither start was perfect I’m not sure why the early hook? Are we looking at an innings/control type situation? Or is something afoot?

Keep on keeping on…

Since I opened my big mouth a few weeks ago Luis Ortiz has looked pretty, pretty good. Maybe I should spout off more often?

Solemeto and his funky cool delivery continue to be fun and effective! This kid develops the city of Pittsburgh, is gonna love him!

Hey Bubba! He continues to be better off the mound, and he seems to get better every outing.

Jared Jones. Did you know Jones is one of the youngest players in A+? He turned 21 less than a month ago. I know his numbers don’t look phenomenal, but he’s one of the better young pitchers in A+(statistically) And is on a bit of a run. Get ‘er done Jared!

What’s left to say?

Endy. Am I right? If you’re new to these updates may I suggest getting used to seeing his name. Not because I love the dude, ok…I love the dude, but he just continues to get better. Every week I continue to be wowed as I get to and update his table.

And it’s not that he has jaw dropping numbers. He isn’t hitting 30+ HR. He isn’t hitting 40 doubles. He’s just so damn consistent in everything he does, that he does it well is almost a given . On the road. LH or RH. At home. 2 strikes against, no strikes against. He stays and plays within himself.

P.S.-There are only so many seats left on the Endy bandwagon, get em while they last!
