Friday’s Games

AzFL Peoria (7-5 loss to the other Peoria)
Juan Miranda: 2 for 4, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 3B, 1 RBI, 1 K – 5 of his first 6 hits went for extra bases
Austin Jackson: 0 for 1 – pinch ran for Miranda late
Kevin Whelan: 1.2 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 3 K, 0-2 GB/FB – 15 of 22 pitches were strikes (68.2%) … this the Whelan we all want to see more of
Humberto Sanchez: 0.2 IP, 2 H, 4 R, 4 ER, 3 BB, 0 K, 1 WP – only 12 of 32 pitches were strikes (37.5%) … considering he threw a grand total of 2 innings in the last 43 days coming into this game, I think we can chalk this one up to rust

HWB Waikiki (2-1 win over West Oahu)
Austin Romine: 2 for 4, 1 K – here’s something I didn’t notice during the season: this guy never strikes out … between the regular season & winter ball, he struck out only 58 times in 423 at-bats
Jeremy Bleich: 6 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 6 K, 8-4 GB/FB – 54 of 76 pitches were strikes (71.1%) … impressive outing

Justin Christian will be playing for Caneros de la Mochis of the Mexican Pacific League this winter, while Walt Ibarra suits up for Naranjeros de Hermosillo. Frankie Cervelli, Carlos Mendoza & Edwar Gonzalez will be playing for Cardenales de Lara of the Venezuelan Winter League. Still waiting for some rosters to post, so I’m sure there’s more guys playing winter ball.
