Kibbles & Bits “Statistics are to baseball what a flaky crust is to mom’s apple pie” - - H A R R Y R E A S O N E R Texas League South Corpus Christi held off Frisco, 7-5, at “the beach,” in the first of their four-game series. The Hooks’ win draws the three clubs in the potential wild card race to within just 2½ games of each other (see above). Notables Greg Deichmann and Mickey McDonald each went 2-for-2 (with an RBI) before the rains halted the game. In four games since coming back from a seven-week stint on the IL, Greg is 5-for-13, with two RBI and two steals (he was ruled to be caught stealing Monday night, but video clearly showed him safe). On the Hill Tuesday Luis Patiño (Amarillo): With (Adv.-A) Lake Elsinore 6-8, 2.69 / .192 / 1.09 in 18 G (17 starts) - 87.0 IP / 61 H / 34 BB / 113 K Kyle Friedrichs (RockHounds) 5-6, 3.34 / .282 / 1.32 in 16 G (15 starts) - 91.2 IP / 99 H / 22 BB / 65 K - vs. AMA: 1-1, 3.24 / .246 / 0.96 in 3 GS Luis Patiño makes his Double-A debut after opening the season with Lake Elsinore of the (Advanced-A) California League. The 19-year-old native of Panama is rated not only the San Diego Padres’ # 4 prospect, but the # 33 prospect in all of baseball by MLB.com. In his last five starts, Kyle Friedrichs has allowed a combined five earned runs over 30⅔ innings (a 1.47 ERA). Three of the runs came August 3 at Corpus Christi, so he has allowed zero or one earned run in four of his last five. Rocky’s Corner A Statewide Road Trip...
