[cosmo.kramer]

Memphis 2, Norfolk 0 ; Top 5th

Quinn Mathews ~ 4 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K, 1 HBP....he's cranking 92-93mph Fourseamers now, and in the zone. Busts barrero with a bottom dropping change to end the inning....better Mathews tonight with his offspeed, for sure

Nathan Church ~ 2-2, 2 Singles
Matt Koperniak ~ 1-2, Single
Cesar Prieto ~ 0-2, Run, K
Matt Lloyd ~ 1-2, Double, Run, RBI
Bryan Torres ~ 1-2, Single, RBI
J.J. Wetherholt ~ 0-2
Jimmy Crooks III ~ 0-1, BB, K
Gavin Collins ~ 0-2
Mike Antico ~ 0-1

What's his normal fastball velocity?

94-95

Not sure how easy this will be to read but worth a shot. Can see two separate drops in velocity on the 4 seam

Mathews change-up gets another

Looks good, but I'm surprised they brought him out for 7th. He's dealing on 80th pitch.

[cosmo.kramer]

Followed by a walk. He really is throwing off speed almost every time

[ClassicO]

Wow, that guy pushed his knee in front of Mathew's inside pitch. He could have been called out.

Looks good, but I'm surprised they brought him out for 7th. He's dealing on 80th pitch.

Gave up a 101 line drive off the wall in center on his 87th pitch. Likely done

[craviduce]

Mathews has been dining inside to RHB all night long....2 HBP on off speed, though...but it's an aggression that'll happen when the opposing team is swinging all the time.

I'm happy with it

Still out there. Weird.

Hit 93 on pitch 88 then gives up a single to lose the shutout

Still out there ...

[ClassicO]

Terrible play by Prieto. How did they give him a single?
