AFL Update: Oct. 16, 2022
SSDG for Tim Cate, who didn’t make it out of the 1st Forrest Gump pause again in a 10-6 Peoria loss to Scottsdale.
The 25-y.o. retired just two of eight batters faced, giving up four singles and issuing two walks. He got the leadoff man and was lifted after his only strikeout, leaving the bases loaded.
Cleveland’s Lenny Torres let in two of three runners left on by Cate before rolling a ground ball to end the inning.
Cate threw 32 pitches, 16 for strikes. He was charged with five runs (all earned) and now has a Fall ERA of 60.75 – nine runs allowed on seven hits and three walks in an inning and a 1/3rd.
No other Washington Nationals players appeared in the game.
The Javelinas return to action tomorrow afternoon against the Scorpions at the Peoria Stadium Complex.
momma don’t let your babies grow up to be baseball fans! Mets – 101 wins gone, Braves 101 wins gone, Dodgers 111 wins gone. this game is not for the faint of heart.
Yes, the Nats were the classic “just get in the playoffs and see what happens” team in 2019. They beat a 107 win Dodgers team and then the 107 win Astros.
Oy! I remember when I was worried the Nats were going to lose Tim Cate in the Rule V draft.
In more incompetence Will Frizzell sat this one out. Why is Mike Rizzo not saying anything here?
