What Happened This Weekend

A Not-So-Great No-Hitter: The Angels’ Double-A Trash Pandas threw a seven-inning no-hitter in the first game of a doubleheader on Saturday, but still managed to lose 7-5 in one of the wildest games you’ll ever see. Center fielder Jeremiah Jackson couldn’t catch a fly ball with two outs, which proved to be a bases-clearing three-run error, but the Trash Pandas’ pitching staff shares the blame. Ben Joyce faced seven batters. He did strike out one batter and added another out on a pop out, but he also walked four and the Jackson error came with him pitching. His replacement Eric Torres had an even rougher time. Torres hit three batters in a row (Noelvi Marte, Ivan Johnson and Rece Hinds) and then walked Allan Cerda. A wild pitch scored Chattanooga’s seventh run and Torres walked one more batter before getting out of the inning with a strikeout. Torres managed to hit four of the six batters he faced.

That’s More Like It: The Clearwater Threshers had five pitchers combine for a more conventional nine-inning no-hitter on Saturday. Samuel Aldegheri, Eduar Segovia, Andrew Walling, Orion Kerkering and Wesley Moore shut down Bradenton in a 3-0 win.

They’re Patrons, Not Fans: The most creative play-by-play call of the weekend came in West Michigan, where play-by-play man Dan Hasty channeled his inner Jim Nantz on the weekend of the Masters.

 

Jo Adell, OF, Angels: Adell is no longer a prospect, but what he’s doing with Triple-A Salt Lake is worth noting. Adell homered on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday and homered twice on Sunday. His home runs in six consecutive games sets a Salt Lake Bees record, and his seven home runs overall lead the minors.

 

Ty Madden, RHP, Tigers: Madden struck out 10 batters in four hitless innings of work for Double-A Erie on Saturday. Madden struck out the first six batters he faced.

Sam Bachman, RHP, Angels: After a rocky 2022 season, Bachman has shown signs of getting back to his college form that made him a first-round pick early in the 2023 season. His velocity is up and he struck out nine while allowing one hit and no walks in five scoreless innings for Double-A Rocket City in the nightcap following its no-hit 7-5 loss. Bachman did hit two batters.

Tobias Myers, RHP, Brewers: Myers has bounced around between pitching savvy organizations in recent years. The Rays prospect was traded to the Guardians in November 2021, but the Guardians eventually designated him for assignment and shipped him to the Giants. The Giants then designated him for assignment and the White Sox claimed him. He signed with the Brewers as a minor league free agent this offseason. In his organizational debut, Myers struck out 11 of the 21 batters he faced in 5.2 hitless innings for Double-A Biloxi on Friday. He walked three and hit one batter.

Tanner Bibee, RHP, Guardians: The Guardians have turned Bibee from the command-and-control pitcher he was at Cal State Fullerton to a command-and-control pitcher who now sits 95 and touches 98. That’s what he did in his outing on Friday as he dominated Triple-A Charlotte with his 95 mph fastball, 83-84 mph slider, slower mid-70s curveball and low-80s changeup. Bibee allowed four hits while striking out seven in five scoreless innings. He threw strikes on 70.5% of his 78 pitches.

Nolan Jones, OF/3B, Rockies: Much like Adell, Jones is looking for a bounceback season and so far it’s going well. The former Guardians’ prospect has settled in nicely at Triple-A Albuquerque. He hit his sixth home run in nine games on Sunday, and sits second in the minors in home runs.

Patrick Monteverde, LHP, Marlins: Monteverde struck out 11 of 20 Double-A Montgomery batters he faced on Sunday, allowing only one hit in six scoreless innings.
