If he continues to fail to throw the off-speed for a strike, he is continually going to get hit. We are in AA now people, these guys can hit a fastball whether it is 85 or 95.

I am a broadcaster a couple nights a week for Palm Beach. I was thinking I could do something where I could offer my thoughts on the team or one particular prospect after games. I have writing experience including writing for RISE/School Sports magazine and writing for my college newspaper this year as a freshman.

I can now see how he was basically left hung out to dry by his defense and bullpen, I should've looked closer. I'm confident he'll come around, assuming he's healthy. cardsfan1--we never doubted you and greatly appreciate your timely info on the call ups. you rock. Thanks all who caught that info on Ottavino.

Brian Barden's bat returning after a lousy 2007 is one of the more positive stories of the young AAA season. It's great to see him playing everyday and having so much success, and at short, nonetheless. Definitely looking forward to seeing him called up in September, if not earlier. It'd also be nice to see some of the old and grouchy guys released. (Looking at you, Jimenez.) As the first two commenters said, Ottavino was royally screwed by his defense per the gamelog.

I've said before, I've seen this kid pitch and he' s got a great sinker at 88-89 and a developing curve and change up. If he can add a couple ticks to the fastball and sharpen his curve, he will be someone to keep an eye on. Also nice to see Diapoules with another nice outing and high a ground ball ratio.

If you read the game play-by-play, it looks like Ottavino had a lot of bad luck and wasn't getting hit as hard as the box score suggests. I thought the same thing nuhusky.
