I know this information is available on the web for people, but I compile it during the game and I like to look at it. I also enjoy having some of these key demographics together in one quick table. I've yet to decide how I'm going to present the info (images aren't seeming to post over and copying data from excel is losing it's formatting), so for the time being, it's in the form of a JPEG in the attached Gallery. I may just make one for each starting pitcher and keep a rolling compendium of their starts, but that is still yet to be seen. If you have any suggestions for other things to track, or any comments, feel free to leave them below.

Administrative stuff out of the way, May's control tonight was spotty. Between the 2nd and 4th inning, he actually threw 30 of his 40 pitches for strikes. In the 4th though, his fastball command disappeared (9 of his 16 fastballs were balls). Then, the Royals hit a couple of first pitches that were down the middle to drive in all three runs. He didn't get hit overly hard, got a fair amount of swinging strikes (against the second best team in the league at not swinging and missing). Some things to be optimistic about still.

    Definitely too early to panic. The Royals lineup is underrated and makes good contact, as you said. On other forums I read that the point of the Twins leaving Meyer and May in the minors so long was that they would be good and seasoned when they finally were called up - who knows. I'd really like to see Suzuki catch his next start.

    One thing we can say is his second start was an improvement. That's the advantage of setting the bar low enough - some improvement is almost inevitable.  Still, you can't tell much about a young pitcher after one or two starts.  If you could, Andrew Albers would be our ace right now.

     

    May is still a good (but not great) prospect, and that hasn't changed. It would be nice to see him have some success in the next 6 weeks.

    One minor adjustment. I had registered a foul tip as a swinging strike, so his total swinging strikes should be 6 and his swinging strike rate should be 7.1%. I'll be updating the image shortly
