Wednesday afternoon Brian Goodwin got his first start for the Washington Nationals in a game and he played right field for the injured Bryce Harper. His first at bat was a strike out. His second time up he hit a sharp one hopper to the first baseman. His third trip was a come backer to the pitcher. Finally in the bottom of the eighth Brian Goodwin grounds a ball between the first and second baseman for his first major league.
The good news is two of B Goods at bats he pulled the ball which indicates to me that major league pitching that he is not over matched. Let's see if they let him play today.
Down in the Florida State League Benton Moss stands with 22 appearances and 17 starts so far in his first full season in pro baseball. He has won 7 while being on the losing end eight times but since around the Fourth of July Benton has really pitched well. He has pitched a total of 116 innings and walked only 28 on the season. That is about one walk per four innings and I can assure you from little league to the majors any pitcher who can do that is as good as it gets.
Moss has struck out 103 batters on the season and has one complete game pitched. His ERA is 4.03 but that has been shrinking since The first of July. I don't see any problem with Benton moving up to AA next season.
Collins Cuthrell season continues in Florence Kentucky. Every player dreams of one day reaching the majors. Some it is a long process that never materializes. This is Collins second season in Florence and after a broken arm last year this looks to be his first full season. Unfortunately this season is not developing into a season that makes for careers in baseball.
Collins average has risen to 224 but those are not the numbers that Major League Baseball clubs are looking for when they sign free agents. He has ten home runs and driven in 42 rbi's on 53 hits. He surely has had effective hits per RBI but just not enough hits.
Hobbs Johnson life in baseball this season has been in AA Buloxi Mississippi, home to Rocky Mount after being released by the Brewers and then a car trip to Sioux City Iowa to play for the Explorers.
Hobbs first outing one inning and one run, outing number two only 1/3 of and inning and two runs and a loss.
His third time out was much better going two innings and no runs and a victory to boot. So far his three innings he has given up five hits but the big bug-a-boo is four walks. He needs more outings like his last before the end of the season to attract more major league teams to give him a look.
Tarboro's Todd Gurley in his second NFL camp but first one when he has been an active participant can bee seen this year on the NFL Network football show Hardknocks.
Gryphon football scrimmages tonight at home 6:00 pm.
