Memphis plays 2, Springfield early games

[craviduce]

Palm Beach 0, Jupiter 0 ; Top 3rd

Jacob Odle ~ 2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 2 K

Chase Heath ~ 1-1, Single, PO/CS.
Ryan Mitchell ~ 0-0, SB, BB

Odle comes in with a 12.00 K/9 and a 5.89 BB/9 (that's worrisome)...but it's something to like...and you hope it gets better to something like 3.50 BB/9

Has and 82mph Curve that he throws early in counts, as well as late. Tries to keep the batters honest. His control wanes and the walks look like they stack up in a hurry.

No control over what they term as a sinker.(missing high on it...quite a bit)...but his 4 seamer has pretty good control.

Odle is behind on all but 1 hitter in the 2nd inning...that's concerning...but he escapes

Chase Heath ~ 1-1, Single, PO/CS.
Ryan Mitchell ~ 0-0, SB, BB

Luis Pino ~ 0-1... GIDP on one pitch. Incredible talent, hit's it hard...but rarely makes contact...no patience. January 2020 signee. Waste of talent...extremely loud bat, can't make contact...and when he does, it's grounded
Ryan Weingartner ~ 0-1, SB, BB, K

poor Yordalin Pena..can't buy a hit....two over 100mph EV gappers that have been tracked down for outs....that's at least 2 doubles he's been robbed of tonight.

Palm Beach 0, Jupiter 0 ; Bot 2nd

Jacob Odle ~ 1 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K

Chase Heath ~ 1-1, Single, PO/CS...grounder finds its way into CF. Heath has been cold since a fast start to the season the first 2 weeks. Maybe this will get him going again? Then he gets PO/CS going for 2B.
Ryan Mitchell ~ 0-0, SB, BB

Walton and Reis (in particular Reis) talked at some length about Mitchell on today's Wednesdays with Walton and Reis

Peoria 0, Wisconsin 0 ; Top 2nd

Blake Aita ~ 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 2 K

Tai Peete ~ 0-1...ground out to 1B. Roller
Rainiel Rodriguez ~ 1-1, Single, CS...hard liner into LF. He's hot again....back up to .315 BA....slider, 98mph EV....he can hit almost anything and doesn't chase out of the zone much at all.
Jalin Flores ~ 0-1...fly out to RF....he can't steal much, bad jump...

so...what was said? I think he's overexposed in Palm Beach...and that makes me sad. He needs FCL or an overhaul in pitch recognition, and then the Balls to actually swing the bat. He's taking a lot of walks the last few games...that's good starting point.

was it fluffy positive? Or was it merited criticism? A lot of these Pundits do fluff stuff so they don't (bleep) off the Org. It's a fine line they must traverse.
