[Chop]

It’s raining in this sunshine.

 

[Chop]

Faltine robs Schuesler of a base hit.

 

[Chop]

Howard likes to put the ball in the upper-outer corner. Just inside the zone.

 

[Chop]

Powell flies out to the track.

Howard got through 3 innings, giving up 1 run. Good result. But he took 61 pitches to get there.

 

[Chop]

Murph Homerun off of Hurley.

4-1 Alums.

 

[Chop]

Flores and Jack turn a nice double play.

Jack’s a Captain this year.

 

[Chop]

There’s Jack with another play.

 

[Chop]

DuPlantier takes the mound.

 

[Chop]

He’s throwing a cutter as his main pitch.

He strikes out Flores.

 

[Chop]

Jack grounds out.

 

[Chop]

DuP beans Brown.

 

[Chop]

Faltine makes a nice play.

DuPlantier is out of the fourth with no damage.

 

[Chop]

Fontenot takes the mound. He’s big. He’s throwing hard. #99. Got two outs.

 

[Chop]

Fontenot is putting 95 mph fastballs on the corners of the zone. He’s going inside with his breaking ball a lot.

 

[Chop]

Fontenot’s up to 96 mph. Strike out!
(2 for the inning)

3 up
3 down

For Fontenot.

Remember this guy. He’s one of our best relievers this year.

 

[Chop]

DuP beans Sanders.

Kennedy will pinch run.

Werchan at bat.

 

[Chop]

Double play. And Werchan was burning up the first base line. Impressive D.

Fly out.

DuPlantier gets out of another inning with no damage. Nice work.

This is the DuPlantier we’ve been waiting for since his Tommy John surgery.

 

[Chop]

Gage Boehm takes the mound.
6’5”
255 lbs (at least)
Lots of tattoos.

98 mph+ fastball.

 

[mchammer]

I hope to see DuP to be serviceable this year when we need to chew up innings to save our bullpen.

 

[Chop]

88 mph slider past Hamilton by Boehm. Swindell calls it “Nasty.”

 

[Chop]

I hope to see DuP to be serviceable this year when we need to chew up innings to save our bullpen.

He’s looking better than serviceable. Keep him to 1-2 innings.

 

[Chop]

Boehm gets Hamilton again on that nasty slider. Strike out!

OK it’s settled.
Boehm has some Nasty Stufff!

 

[Chop]

Ground out to Flores.
