OKC Beats Space Cowboys Behind Bobby Miller and Ryan Ward

OKC Comets 3 – Sugar Land Space Cowboys (Houston) 2

 

Bobby Miller drew the start against Houston’s Lance McCullers, Jr. on a rehab assignment in the 3rd and final game of the series.

OKC started the scoring in the 2nd inning.  Kody Hoese had a one out single and moved to 2nd on a WP.  Hunter Feduccia drew a walk.  Both Hoese and Feduccia scored on a Ryan Ward double and a 2-0 lead.

Bobby Miller got through 4.2 scoreless innings before reaching 78 pitches…time for automatic removal.  Logan Boyer relieved Miller and completed the 5th.  In his 4.2 IP, Miller allowed 2 singles, 2 BB, with 4 K.  Of his 78 pitches, 46 were strikes (59%).  A lot of 5-6-7 pitches to batters.  His fastball sat 97-98 with a peak at 98.8 MPH.

Ben Harris relieved  Boyer and gave up a solo HR to Jesus Bastidas in the 6th inning.  Julien Fernandez relieved Harris and gave up the tying run in the 7th on a BB and run scoring triple.

In the 9th, Austin Gauthier and Chris Okey led off with singles.  Hyeseong Kim moved both runners up on a sacrifice bunt. Dalton Rushing drew the intentional free pass to load the bases.   Alex Freeland followed that with an unintentional BB to force in the go-ahead and eventual winning run.

Jack Little entered the 9th in a save situation.  He did allow a single and BB, but no runs.  Little got the save in the 3-2 victory.

OKC starts a 6-game series at home against El Paso Chihuahuas (San Diego) on Tuesday.

  • Chris Okey – 2-4
  • Ryan Ward – 1-4, double, 2 RBI
  • Alex Freeland – 1-4, 1 BB, 1 RBI
  • Hunter Feduccia – 2 BB, 1 RBI, 1 run
  • Kody Hoese – 1-4, 1 BB, 1 run
  • Austin Gauthier – 1-4, 1 run

Yes, he did but the stuff was very very good. One of the two hits he gave up was of the infield variety too.
If he continues like that at the very least he will restore his trade value.

Straight out of high school. Where is Kellon Lindsey starting out?

Badger

“Harlan is a Pennsylvania high schooler with a loose, fluid right-handed stroke, and he really knows how to rotate. Nearly everything he hit had backspin and was elevated with authority. He got into multiple balls to the pull side when he was really letting it eat, and he undoubtedly already has above-average raw power in his game. It’s a very efficient and repeatable swing that produced one of the best prep BP rounds of the event. There’s also obvious room for projection on the frame. Harlan hit four balls 108 mph or above during BP. He entered the spring with hit tool question marks that he wasn’t necessarily able to put to rest playing in PA. Because he’s a corner bat, teams may ask him to go to school to prove he can get to his power in games.”

I have high hopes for this guy. I think exposed to it now, he could post high OPS numbers in Low A.

High hopes for both Lindsey and Harlan.
From what I’ve read, scouts think Lindsey will be a quality SS, while Morales and J. Vargas are more likely to shift to other positions.
But if Lindsey could shift from SS to CF like the Pads’ Jackson Merrill, that would be cool.
A lot of talent on the 20U Dodgers.

Really appreciate the reports from OKC.
I noticed that Kim played CF in this one, with Outman shifting to RF.
They’re competing for next-man-up, in part because of Edman’s versatility. But if Teo or Conforto get hurt, Outman should have the edge….
Nice start for Miller. He’d be a good fit for a few contenders–and maybe still a good fit for the Dodgers.
Now let’s see what Glasnow and May can do…

Harsh.
Because of Mookie’s illness, Outman made the opening day roster in Tokyo. That wasn’t charity. The Dodgers must think he counts.
Still the best CF glove, and still just a sophomore slump removed from finishing 3rd in ROY balloting with a .790 OPS and 23 HRs.
Outman and Bobby Miller have had similar arcs. Promising in ’23 to the pits in ’24 to the Comets in ’25–just a phone call away.
Would you say Miller doesn’t count?

The torpedo bat.

I may have told this story before but it’s worth telling again.

A good buddy of mine in Oklahoma taught me how to find the sweet spot on a bat. I never knew, and assumed it was where the barrel is the thickest. It is not.

How to find it:

Hold the bat with two fingers toward the center. Take a wooden spoon, or some other similar hard object, and start tapping the bat from the end toward the label. You will feel the bat vibrate with each tap until you get to the sweet spot, which is closer to the label than you might think. And the bat is actually narrower there. What the torpedo bat has done is moved the widest part of the barrel down to where the sweet spot actually is. It’s ingenious. And I’m blown away nobody has thought of this until now.

It’s called the Point of Percussion in science and in percussion instruments. My friend was a coach for a couple of decades, is a master woodworker and turned a lot of his own fungo bats. He sent me pictures of his bats, one was hickory and the end was bored out 3” down the barrel with the hole reduced about 1/8th” every inch. Made the bat considerably lighter and didn’t significantly change the sweet spot.

I should amend that last statement.Any weight removed from the end of the bat does move the sweet spot some. The torpedo bat kinda does that with the tapered end. This will move the point of percussion a bit towards the hands.

Request on a topic: Is Andy Pages the answer at CF?

He doesn’t need to be great, mind you, but is he good enough?

Johnny Gentle
Johnny Gentle
2 months ago
Reply to  Dionysus

My thinking is he is not in CF for his defense so he needs to be producing offensively. Obviously he is young and cheap but I don’t see him as a HR threat right now. I think he has toned down his swing to try to cut down on strikeouts, but his power has suffered. Every so often he has a good at-bat [goes 3.-2 then lines a single to CF] but the impact bat is lacking. The good news is his defense appears to be improving.

Edman moving to CF mid-year to accommodate Kim or Freeland seems possible; simply trading for a MLB CF is also on the table. The presence of Keekay makes a move not urgent, but I’m sure we’ll evaluating Pages daily. The better the team, the more apparent it is when a link is weak.

Badger

Good take

This offense can give a player like Pages a runway to figure it out. The question is how long a runway will it be. The league has discovered his weakness. He needs to fix it.

In the mean time his OPS of .515 in front of Ohtani sucks begonias. They might consider Edman, .865, or Kiké, .821, for the 9 hole and place Pages at 8. Just a thought.

Pages is improving, but I don’t think the Dodgers see him as a full-time answer in CF–at least not yet.
The Dodgers love that “optionality” stuff. Edman’s ability to shift between CF, 2B and SS enables them to optimize the use of Pages, Kike, Rojas and Taylor. …
With Freddie out and Sale pitching, today’s lineup is loaded with RH bats. Except for Shohei and Edman (a switch-hitter), its all righty swingers.

Nope.

As OD says, not yet. Will he get there? So far he’s hitting .158 with more Ks than hits. Outman can do that with better defense. And Kim can do that with more speed and better defense. It’s way too early to make a determination but it’s a bad start for Andy.

Reply to  Michael Norris

Dreyer is excellent. I admit I hadn’t even heard of him when he was protected on the 40-man roster. He is a strike-thrower who trusts his stuff. Although he is probably second in line to lose his spot when reinforcements arrive, he could make it a hard decision if he keeps putting up clean innings.

With Scott, Vesia, Banda & Dreyer, this might be the best group of LH relievers we’ve had in a long long time.

Maybe someday soon Kopp joins the fray.

On the subject of strike throwers, Glasnow threw 79 pitches 48 for strikes, which isn’t awful but 3 walks in 5 innings, 5.4 BB/9, is. That was more walks than hits. With his stuff he could easily get 6 innings on 80 pitches if he cut down on his BB’s.

100% the case last night. There were several head-scratching calls. Other than a brief spell in the 2nd inning when he lost the zone completely for a couple batters, Glasnow had excellent command the entire night.

He’ll never go deep into games because he’s the quintessential modern pitcher, but if it weren’t 3/31 he would’ve gone at least one more inning.

Still on pace for 162-0.
Some thoughts on last night’s game:

Glasnow was awesome, especially the first inning. They talked about the work he’s put in on his mechanics and it looks good to me. One of the things I promoted and looked for in both hitters and pitchers is Balance, Posture and Alignment. Balance includes staying over your belly-button at three critical phased; at lift and load over the rubber, at front foot strike and at release. Tyler showed up perfectly at all 3 phases and it was especially evident as the ball came out of his hand. He pitched downhill and just powered that 4-seamer 12 to 6 through the strike zone. There was no flying open early which apparently he worked on. He lost it temporarily with runners on. Since he throws everything from the stretch, that wasn’t a difference but he seemed to outrun his arm and not staying back when he went to a slide-step. But he got it back and was mostly great with his mechanics for his 5 innings and on par with his pitch count. Very nice to see.
Jesus, what happened to Dan Belino’s strike zone for a few hitters. Did he take a cat-nap? 
Who was the Dodger scout that sold Ned Colletti to draft Grant Holmes in the first round in the 2014 draft for $2.5 million? The guy’s a midget to start with. Good for him to finally make the show after 10-years in the minor leaguer, but unless something drastic changed he doesn’t look like a first rounder.
Teo’s signing was the best Dodger move of the off-season.
A quick tip for Muncy; please try harder to throw the ball to Edman in the air at 2nd base on a potential double play. Tommy has bailed Max out 2 game in a row from short-hopping the ball into right field.
I’m liking Conforto’s swing more and more.
Orel made mention of on Ohtani’s slide into second for second time. I was thinking the same thing. For a change he didn’t rely on sticking his left hand in the dirt to slide. Back in the day, we were taught to slide touching your butt and back on the dirt and throwing the hands in the air. That keeps that damaged elbow from more injury.
What is the exact job description of the Dodger’s “Skills Coach?”
