Price’s AAA Debut

80 pitches, 50 strikes in four innings, allowing 3 runs, 7 hits, no walks, 6
Ks as he suffered his first defeat as a professional. He hit 96 on the board
a few times and did show off his entire arsenal.

四局八十球，被得三分，七安打，六次三振沒有保送。最高球速96mph，並且
把他所有武器展現出來。

He’s not ready for prime time yet. Couple of things that concerned me:

似乎還沒有完全準備好上來

1. Pitch selection. He didn’t mix his pitches very well. He threw sliders
and changeups almost exclusively to right-handed hitters - I didn’t see a
fastball until the third inning - and threw about 90% fastballs to lefties. I
would want to see him spot his fastball more to righties and mix in the
change to lefties.

球種選擇，他沒辦法有效運用他的球種。他對右打者幾乎只投slider和changeup
，對左打則幾乎投了九成的快速球。對於球種搭配上他必須要更能夠交互使用

2. Movement on his pitches. Last night, there wasn’t much. Some of the outs
were hit solidly, as was the ball that Joel Guzman booted at 3B leading to
two runs (although subsequent events made both runs earned). Of his six Ks,
four were against lefty swingers Freddie Bynum and Brandon Fahey, neither of
whom is exactly a terrific threat with the lumber.

球的移動軌跡，似乎不是很好。

Mechanically, he is very sound - and he is a bulldog. After Guzman kicked the
ball that probably would have been a DP grounder, Price gave up a single to
Oscar Salazar that reloaded the bases with no one out, but battled back to
strikeout Bynum and give up a soft fly ball to Chris Heintz which turned into
an inning-ending DP, as Gary Allenson sent Eider Torres to challenge Jonny
Gomes’s arm - bad choice.

I hope (and expect) that he’ll be around for a couple more starts at AAA;
the Bulls come back on the 23rd and he would be in line to start the opener
against Indianapolis if he sticks around.
