I was posed the question after one of my posts regarding the topic of pitch counts. Now, there are not any specific rules that apply to this as far as Major League Baseball is concerned. This isn’t little league where the coach (aka the only dad who knows baseball) can potentially forfeit games if one [...]

The bullpen made up for a rough start by Lauren Gagnier in the Flying Tigers 8-6 win over Jupiter.  Chad Linder was the star on the mound and he gave up just three hits in three scoreless innings to improve to 3-1.  Scott Green pitched a shutout ninth and he picked up his eleventh save [...]

The Lakeland Flying Tigers have had an interesting season of weather related happenings before and during games. Some could say that our season could be chronicled by a Steven King novel, and my journey especially. For a while I held the title of the rainman, and not because I have savant type intelligence, a la [...]

Lakeland lost a tough one tonight as they took an 11-3 lead into the eighth inning and then Charlotte broke out for nine runs in the eighth inning.  Six of those runs were unearned because of a pair of throwing errors in the inning.  Chad Linder gave up five of those runs and Scott Green [...]

Lakeland and Brevard County played two and Lakeland walked away with a win in both.  Game one was a 4-0 shutout that saw Lauren Gagnier hold the opposition scoreless through six innings.  He gave up six hits and a walk with four strikeouts.  Adrian Casanova went one for three with two RBIs while Devin Thomas [...]

Lakeland and Dunedin played two and each team walked away with the win. Game one was a 3-0 win in which Mauricio Robles threw six shutout innings.  He gave up four hits and he walked two with four strikeouts.  Scott Green pitched a shutout ninth for his eight save and Maiko Loyola singled and drove [...]

Charles Furbush improved to 5-4 with a really nice start.  He gave up [...]

Hello again and I apologize for my absence over the last few days. It’s getting to that point in the season where a player’s brain begins to go on auto-pilot and you find yourself in some kind of baseball purgatory where days have no names and time seems to repeat itself. For a while there [...]

Chad Linder didn’t take the loss in Lakeland’s 10-6 loss to Clearwater, but definitely had the worst outing of the bunch.  He gave up six runs on seven hits with one strikeout in one inning.  Trevor Feeney took the loss and he fell to 0-3.  He gave up two runs on four hits with three [...]
