It worked i guess but I thought his hip was injured, if it still is no sense running him out there for fear of bigger injury. The 3-4 MPH drop really concerns me.
Connor Prielipp's Saints debut tonight
3.1 Inn
3 H
2 ER
5 K
4 BB
He topped out at 98 MPH on his fastball but threw 81 pitches. Encouraging start but will be excited to see what he does next. His slider was on point.
I wish I could provide some video but I can't, but it looks almost like a straight 2-seamer with more movement. Dives away from both righties and lefties. Nasty to say the least.
Holy crap this lefty for Oakland tonight hasn't given up a ER in his last 24 innings. Four scoreless starts in a row. Twins are looking good right now though.
Joe Ryan coming into tonight's game
T-2ND (W)
4TH (ERA)
6TH (SO)
2ND (WHIP)
5TH (OPPBA)
and I still get people telling me hes not an ace. Whatever happens from. Here on out, it will be a dominant year for Joe Ryan.
