Why is it every time momentum builds for a Meyer call up, he goes out and throws a stinker?

Twins Daily

UPDATE: Per our Rochester reporter, C.J. Fee, Sean Gilmartin will be promoted from New Britain to Rochester and make the start tomorrow night. The rest of the rotation will be pushed back. Thursday's original starter, Logan Darnell, and Thursday's new starter, Alex Meyer, should get the speculation wheels turning.

Yo Gardy,

is this competition good enough for May's performance last night to be a valid result in your eyes?

May dominated a lineup that included Mookie Betts, Shane Victorino, Will Middlebrooks, and Garin Cecchini,

Probably not.

He'knows way more than we do.




Stacey King -> RE: Players and prospects III (6/17/2014 9:27:30 AM)

Should be noted that Josmil Pinto caught Trevor May in his dominant, 120-pitch, 11K, 3-hit, 8.1 IP win last night

That's why he has the cute little uniform and we don't.

May (7-4) allowed just three hits and walked two while striking out a season-high 11. His fastball topped at 95, and his earned-run average dropped to 2.77.

“It’s all about getting my fastball over for strikes, but my other pitches were working too,” May said. “My changeup was great, my curve got better later and I was throwing my slider for strikes.”

May’s biggest test came in the fourth. The game was scoreless, and Mookie Betts opened with a ground-rule double to left-center. Up next were two rehabbing major-leaguers who played in last year’s World Series: Shane Victorino and Will Middlebrooks.

May struck out Victorino, retired Middlebrooks on a fly and ended the threat by getting Travis Shaw on a fly to right.

“That’s what you want to do — face big-league hitters,” May said. “To get proven hitters like those two is a nice thing.”

Funny how that works, when you have a starter that doesn't have a BAA of .300 or more.

Meh. Nice outing, but need to see more consistency.

Idk. All those strikeouts...

Those aren't allowed at the Major league level...

Are they?




Stacey King -> RE: Players and prospects III (6/17/2014 9:42:45 AM)

It’s weird how you sometimes discover a life-altering medical condition.

Kohl Stewart was just a normal third-grader, a kid playing baseball for a club called the Banditos in the Houston area. But his coach noticed some things about him that weren’t normal.

Things Roger Jarvis had noticed about his own son, who was Kohl’s age.

“Grogginess, urinating all the time,” Stewart said. “I was getting slower, I was skinny.”

It was Type 1 diabetes.

“Looking back at it, I learned more about my body than the normal kid my age would,” said the Cedar Rapids Kernels pitcher. “It’s just something that became a part of my life. I don’t really think about it anymore.”

Stewart and third baseman Bryan Haar will represent the Cedar Rapids Kernels Tuesday night in the Midwest League All-Star Game at Comstock Park, Mich. The 19-year-old pitcher is expected to throw at least part of an inning.

He’ll leave the team Wednesday for a few days and fly back home to Texas to meet with his physician, past due for a check on his condition. Call it diabetes maintenance.

“You’re supposed to see a doctor every three months, and I haven’t seen one since spring training,” Stewart said. “The whole time, they were looking at the all-star break for me to go do that ... Nobody knows me better than my own doctor. They might change some things, they might not.”

Nothing changed for Stewart athletically despite being diabetic. He was a hot-shot quarterback who was slated to become Johnny Manziel’s replacement at Texas A&M until the Minnesota Twins took him with the fourth-overall pick of last year’s Major League Baseball draft.

He signed for $4.544 million dollars and has had a very good start to his pro career. Polished beyond his years, Stewart has has a 2.44 earned run average in 12 carefully monitored starts.

On a 75-pitch count, Stewart has limited opponents to a .212 batting average. The strikeout total is a tad low for a kid with his stuff (41 in 59 innings), though he believes that’ll improve.

“I don’t know how important strikeouts are, but that’s a number that everyone is going to look at and point toward,” he said. “That’s the thing that me and (pitching coach) Ivan (Arteaga) are working on right now, actually. I’ve had a lot of guys where I’ve wanted them. It’s just making that one pitch to put them away. I think I have those pitches to strike those guys out with. My fastball and slider in the right spot, not necessarily throwing my fastball and slider as hard as I can.

“People are going to want to see more of them, but as a pitcher, I want to keep my team in the game. I think the more I work with him, the more they will come. I can’t really worry about them. I’m a guy that’s going to pound the zone and ask you to put the ball in play before I start worrying about pitching around guys. As long as I keep getting guys out and getting them to pound the ball into the ground, that’s just as good, in my opinion.”

Stewart gives himself one shot daily of Lantus, a 24-hour insulin. He’ll also give himself a shot if he feels his blood sugar is a bit high.

He’s thinking about eventually getting an insulin pump that constantly monitors his blood sugar and automatically injects insulin when needed. But beyond that, diabetes doesn’t enter his mind much.

“You know, I got it when I was in third grade, and I’ve been dealing with it ever since,” he said. “I think being an athlete is a good thing for it.”

Did anyone hear Perkins on with Mackey and Judd yesterday? I wonder if he's just being a mouthpiece for the Twins or if he really feels this way, but he was not high on Pinto as a catcher at all. Mackey asked him how close Pinto is to being a ML-caliber catcher. Perkins said "He's not close at all." He went on to say that he's not good at framing pitches at all. Needs a ton of work. Reading between the lines, it sounded like he doesn't think Pinto will ever be a starting caliber catcher in the majors.
