how did he go from the Nats to the Tigers? Has he been DFA'd a lot this season?

[craviduce]

I hope Clarke's fastball is unhittable today, because Lackey and Tinney are fastball crushers. Let's keep their first hits/homers until tomorrow, or even better...next week.

Memphis @ Jacksonville ~ will begin in a rain delay

Rain has moved out of the river front (Saint Johns River)...so I guess they need to make the field playable?

should start soonish

[craviduce]

Rain all over northern and central/eastern Iowa...Peoria @ Cedar Rapids might be interrupted tonight...we'll see come game time

no doubt the Cards won that trade.

Palm Beach 0, Ft. Myers 0 ; Bot 1st

Sebastian Dos Santos ~ 0-1, K...swinging...late swing on the high cheese. Late on the 1st pitch he fouled off, too
Yairo Padilla ~ 0-1...ground out to SS
Brayden Smith ~ 1-1, Single, SB...weak bloop falls in between SS and CF...68mph EV. SB was taken without a pitch, late step off, throw wasn't in time, and it went into CF...28th SB
Yordalin Pena ~ 0-1, K...looking

I wouldn't be against a reunion. It's clear our relief depth isn't great. Might as well throw numbers at it at this point

[craviduce]

no command on the Sinker for Clarke early on.

Four Seamer is commanded a smidge more than the sinker

[craviduce]

Peoria @ Cedar Rapids ~ opens in a Rain Delay....new start time is hopefully 7:10pm CDT

[craviduce]

Clarke has so much talent with his 3 pitch mix....but he can't command for POOP

he might not make it out of the 1st inning

3 walks...at 25 pitches, 1 out

[craviduce]

Palm Beach 0, Ft. Myers 0 ; Top 2nd

Brandon Clarke ~ 1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 1 K ....26 pitches, 10 strikes

Brayden Smith ~ 1-1, Single, SB

Clarke sitting 99-100mph on the Sinker, 92-94mph on the Fourseam Fastball, power slider is at 88-92mph when he doesn't lose his grip on it.

runs the count full on #3 overall pick, Vahn Lackey...gets him looking on a 92mph four seamer...loses battle with Tinney, BB.

first 4 batters faced full counts

LUCKY...GIDP after loading the bases

Palm Beach 0, Ft. Myers 0 ; Bot 2nd

[craviduce]

Memphis 2, Jacksonville 0 ; Bot 1st

Leo Bernal ~ 1-1, HR, 2 RBI....crushes one over the RCF wall.... 14th HR on the year....414 feet, 105mph EV
Chase Davis ~ 0-1...ground out to 1B...ground and pound chopper
