VSL Rays (Day Off)
The VSL Rays host the VSL Pirates in Saturday.
Some highlights from today's Crab Notes provided by the team:
ReplyDeleteOn tonight's starter Matt Moore: In his last 10 starts, Moore has compiled a stellar 1.78 ERA (12er/60.2ip) with 83 strikeouts and just 34 hits allowed in 60 2/3 innings pitched. Moore’s 157 strikeouts leads both the FSL and the entire Tampa Bay Rays organization and ranks second in the entire Minor Leagues -- just one behind Minors leader Charles Furbush who previously pitched for Lakeland before his promotion. Though he has struggled in the early parts of the year for the past two seasons, Moore carries a career ERA of 2.32 (59er/229ip) after the month of May.
On others: Despite a slow night at the plate last night, Isaias Velasquez and Jake Jefferies have both heated up offensively in the last two weeks. Velasquez has hit safely in 12 of his last 14 games for a .346 batting average (18-for-52) with five doubles. Jefferies, meanwhile, has hit safely in nine of his last 11 games for a .300 batting average (12-for-40) with three doubles and three RBIs.
On the pitching staff and strikeouts: The Stone Crabs pitching staff struck out five batters last night to move their season total to 940, which ranks third in Minor League Baseball. The MiLB leader is still the Quad Cities River Bandits of the Midwest league with 951. The Stone Crabs staff remains on pace to break the FSL record of 1,132 set by the 2001 Tampa Yankees.
On Tim Beckham: Shortstop Tim Beckham continues to turn things around at the plate after a slow start to his 2010 campaign. The former number one pick finished the month of July with a .340 batting average (32-for-94) with hits in 23 out of 26 games during the month. He snapped a sevengame hitting streak on Tuesday but has batted .370 (17-for-46) in his last 13 games with six doubles and eight RBIs. He’s now batting .283 since the All-Star break compared to a .212 average before the break.
