June 2, 201313 yr Is anyone else following the New Britain - Bowie game tonight on MILB.com? Currently, it shows that Alex Meyer has completed 5 innings, but has only thrown 33 pitches with not a single pitch called a ball, and has 8 strikeouts. This is almost beyond belief.
June 2, 201313 yr Gametime stats on AA games are like Gametime stats on ST games. No balls thrown means no walks, practically...
June 2, 201313 yr Author Gametime stats on AA games are like Gametime stats on ST games. No balls thrown means no walks, practically... <sad face> I guess I'm not following a historic night. <sad face/> Regardless of the pitch count and ball deception, it looks like Meyer is pitching very well tonight, so that is exciting.
June 2, 201313 yr 6.1 innings 10 K's, 2 BB's, 1 ER, 48 pitches per box score. Doesn't seem possible. If only 3 pitches on K's & 4 on BB's that's 38 pitches. Leaves 10 pitches for 8 more outs plus 2 hits. Some kinda efficiency. Also Buxton not in lineup tonight, injury? Rest?
June 2, 201313 yr The pitch count had to be wrong obviously. I have seen this before in the minors boxscores. Even the opposing pitcher is only at 40 pitches and he threw 6 innings. We won't have to wait too long for Meyer but I'm not sure if we will see him this year. I hope so though.
June 2, 201313 yr Love to see a few more starts like that. I think he'll be sent to AAA before the majors but I could be wrong.
June 2, 201313 yr Outstanding start by Meyer, he gets some consistency and he could really be one to watch. In the MiLB writeup about the game, they have a video from one of his previous starts, that slider is nasty Meyer tinkers with delivery, ends skid | MiLB.com News | The Official Site of Minor League Baseball
