A Lil Papi error allowed a run to score & extended the 3rd inning. Yhoiker walked the next hitter & was taken out. Madinson Frias came in & GRod threw out another base stealer to end the 3rd.

Final line for Yhoiker: 2.2 IP, 1 run (0 ER) 1 hit, 3 bb, 3 k

THE HOLOGRAM IS PITCHING *siren*

Greenville
CF Yophery
SS Naz
RF Nelly T
3B AA
LF Ehrhard
1B Brannon
2B Alcantara
C White

No Arias or Bleis, though.

The Hologram pitched a 6-pitch, 1-2-3 1st, & Greenville has scored 2 in the top of the 2nd so far on b2b2b doubles by the 5 to 7 hitters.

1-2-3 2nd for Hologram with a strikeout. Took him 15 pitches, though. Going to have to sit with this one a bit more.

YUTE just worked a 9-pitch walk.

In Hologram news, I was trying to withhold opinion after the 2nd inning because I didn't think it was fair to be disappointed by his stuff simply because it's not straight up ridiculously dominating like Tolle & Clarke.

The 3rd wasn't great...

Single
Single
Strikeout
Passed Ball when he bounced the ball off Hudson White's head because White was expecting a breaking ball & Holo threw a fastball.
Brannon error (1st run)
Wild pitch (2nd run)
Groundout (3rd run)
Strikeout

All the runs were technically unearned...but it was not pretty.

Yute got caught stealing after the 9-pitch walk.

& Brooks Brannon had his own adventures on the bath paths...he stole 2nd basically before the left-handed pitcher had thrown to the plate...& then he tried to steal 3rd before he even threw his next pitch & got thrown out at 3rd (pretty close play, but weird base running).

1-2-3 4th for Holo with a strikeout sandwiched between 2 flyouts. I think my main concern is the effort he seems to have to throw with (it looks like his arm is going to snap or something) & the lack of top end stuff. He could be interesting, though. & it hasn't been a disastrous High-A & org debut.

Austin Ehrlicher pitched 3 scoreless innings for Salem, 2 hits, 1 bb, 5 k (45 pitches, 30 strikes). Joe Vogatsky, on the other hand, hit the 1st batter he faced & allowed a 2-run homer to the 2nd.

Holobetz finished the inning. I would be pretty shocked if he came back out. So probably final line:

5 IP, 4 runs (1 ER), 3 hits, 0 bb, 4 k

76 pitches, 50 strikes (65.8%)

Kind of a mixed bag. Probably comfortable with him around 50ish in the system for now?

Those were the only 2 runs Salem would allow though as they held on to a 7-2 victory.

Dalton Rogers threw 55 pitches (34 strikes) in 1.2 innings...1 ER, 1 hit, 3 bb, 3 k.

Matt McShane came in with the bases loaded & 2 outs in the 7th & got out of that inning, & pitched 2 more scoreless innings...1 hit, 0 bb, 4 k.

McShane made it into my top 60 at #57 in my last rankings update a week ago, & he made it into SP's at #59 today (right behind the guy he came in for, Dalton Rogers). We may both be criminally low on McShane at this point.

In 21.2 innings across Salem & Greenville, he has allowed 1 ER (0.42 ERA), 14 hits (.177 BA, 0.83 WHIP), 4 bb (1.66 bb/9) & 29 k (12.2 k/9).

McShane does not turn 23 until November, so he's not particularly old for these levels, especially Greenville where his line since being called up is 7.1 IP, 0 runs, 4 hits, 0 bb, 9 k.

White 3-4, hr
AA 2-5, 2b, 3 rbi
Ehrhard 2-5, 2b
Alcantara 2-4, 2b
Brannon 1-4, 2b, sb, cs
Lugo 1-4, 2b
Nelly T 0-3, 2 bb

Mild concern:
Yophery 0-4, bb. Avg. down to .179 with Greenville, OPS down to .682. He has walked (21) more times than he has struck out (19), though & seems to generally be the victim of his .206 BABIP. Going to guess he breaks out pretty soon. In his last 6 games he is 0-23 with 4 bb & 4 k...meaning he is 0-19 on balls in play which is pretty wild.

Larger concern:
Naz 0-4, hbp, 3 k. Zanetello lacks the BABIP excuse. He is riding a .388 BABIP to a .210 BA & .684 OPS. He has 50 strikeouts in 122 PAs (41.0%)...which is a full 25% higher than Yophery.
