My only concern with back to back DH's is they'll sit Harper for one or two of the games. Damn, I might have to go to both on Saturday.

and drink heavily, which would be a bummer

Baseball Prospectus on Bryce Harper's strikeout versus Julio Teheran:

"Teheran started Harper off with a fastball away for a called strike. The pitch was probably a couple of inches outside, but Teheran hit his spot, so he got the call. Teheran then missed low on a change, but he wasn’t afraid to double up with the offering, this time throwing his change at the knees. Harper was way out in front. Up 1-2, Teheran went to the same spot as his first pitch, stretching the zone on the outside corner, and again got the call. From what I can tell, getting Bryce Harper off-balance isn’t overly challenging, but it is imperative, because when Harper times a pitch, he hits it hard. Teheran threw one pitch in the zone for a swinging strike and earned called strikes on two pitches out of the zone. He was in total command of that matchup."

If anyone wants our tickets to Saturday's game in Harrisburg or knows someone who could use them let me know. Looks like I'm going to Brawltimore on Saturday.

Bump:

If anyone wants our tickets to Saturday's game in Harrisburg or knows someone who could use them let me know. Looks like I'm going to Brawltimore on Saturday and can't use them. I can email them to you and the cost is $0.

No huge shocker here but Keith Law has Bryce as the #1 prospect in baseball in his new rankings which came out on the 14th.

6/31 with 3 BBs to 7 Ks (.194 BA) since being called up to Harrisburg. No extra base hits.

Not really worried. 18, just skipped a level. Its going to take a little time for him to get settled.

hammondsnats · « **Reply #1886 on:** July 19, 2011, 12:23:07 am »

he's always been a notoriously slow starter for every level - college, AFL, pros.

I heard the first time he walked on water he sunk up to his ankles.

Strasburg, OTOH, is the real deal.

I'm wondering if the grind is wearing him down, I imagine this is the longest stretch he's played so far in his career.

UMDNats · « **Reply #1891 on:** July 19, 2011, 08:24:34 pm »

There's going to be an adjustment period. He'll be fine.

0/4 with a K tonight. BA down to .171

I think Sportsnyan is trying to quiet some of the maroons that were complaining about Bryce not being in the show after lighting up A level pitching. I'm actually surprised he's not striking out more.

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #1895 on:** July 20, 2011, 07:49:26 am »

No he's not. He actually thinks he's a bust.

That would be morons . I am taking over for the spelling nazi while he is in New Mexico.

I agree with your premise. Harper is not ready for the show this year and it is way to early to pencil him in to any lineup at any point of the 2012 season.
