Pitching move
 |
| Matt Sergey |
The move comes one day after Malone (0-0, 6.92) had a rocky outing in relief against Traverse City, giving up three hits and a walk in one-third of an inning. However, the previous outing for Malone was the best of his young pro career. He pitched two innings June 19 at Lake Erie, did not give up a hit or walk, and struck out four of the seven batters he faced.
That, in a nutshell, has been Malone's season. The rookie out of Louisiana-Monroe has been good one outing and not so good the next, though the right-hander has much potential.
Sergey, a native of Plantation, Fla., and product of Campbell University, was 0-1 with a 4.32 ERA in 16 relief appearances for Southern Illinois last year before being released in late June. He was signed by Gateway a few days later and pitched in 10 games as a starter, going 2-04 with a 5.19 ERA. For the season, he struck out 71 batters in 67 innings.
Sergey was released by Gateway a few days before the season opener this spring.

This kind of stuff is is exactly why the team will not improve from here because they do not know how to nor seem to be very interested in developing pitchers with potential. They released three good pitchers before the season started to take a chance on 2 other rookies and a returning injured pitcher. They wanted guys to just step in and produce to right the ship so they brought in 3 established staters who will not have the seasons they had last year. The team is pretty much where they were last year at this time and now the offense is sputtering and the pitching will be tested. The hot early start may have been an aberration as the team plays down to a more appropriate level. The real games are about to start
Don't fret Devin. There's always the Pecos League.
Potential will get you beat 8-2 every night.
When will the team be good enough for some of you people? If they are in a playoff spot at the All Star break? Once they clinch? Once the regular season ends?
This blog has been full of moaning and groaning for years, craving a playoff caliber team. You have a team that does more than just compete on a nightly basis, where is the enjoyment?
The community should be behind this team and what they are doing.
The story that will go unwritten about the game of June 26th is that the WT hijacked the Sweetheart of the Night promotion. You know, the floral arrangement that is supposed to be given to one of the ladies that paid their way into the ballpark?
Apparently Stu Williams thought the flowers should be given to his wife, Frannie, because it was her birthday. It just goes to show how selfish and narcissistic the Williams family is. No class at all. Everything is all about them. Stu Williams is wealthy enough to probably buy and sell every person in the ballpark yet his wife is awarded a gift that SHOULD have been given to a fan. Then they wonder why so few fans show up at the place.
Come on Jeff, the apologist for the WT, defend this shameless act.
Team comes from behind to win a game and a series & stays in first place & player hits 3rd home run in 2 nights ... & what are the old unemployed rednecks on this blog talking about today? Freakin' flowers. Guess nobody here knows a damn thing about baseball or they'd be discussing it already instead of poseys, and I don't mean Buster Posey.
Your picking old on retired people because you know there is no defense for the Williams family lack of class.
I'll talk a little baseball to ya.
This team is no better than the last few years. If you weren't so bent of making fun of old people you would be wide eyed enough to see that. This team will be darned lucky to make the playoffs. Of course you are so blind from sucking up that you can't see anything in the proper prospective.
Shameless is a posting about a bunch of flowers when the blog was an article about Pitching. Besides, is it so wrong to acknowledge a lady's birthday? I sure don't recall hearing or reading anything about the presentation being for 'a paying customer', and I seriously doubt that Stu had anything to do with the selecting the recipient.
And yes, I agree with both Anon posts of 8:30PM and 11:00AM - this has been an exciting season, enjoy the game, flowers excluded.
Some of the people posting on this Blog have either never played the game, or just have an axe to grind for whatever reason. This 2014 team is a quality team and the community should be very excited about the talent assembled on this years SQUAD! Just have to look past some of the ignorant comments being posted here. This team will play hard every night out, win or lose.
GO WILD!
Just wondering Negative Anonymous, at what level of professional baseball did you play at during your career?
Hey Bubba, do they give away flours, oooops, I mean flowers, in the Pecos League?
Ima Fraid
Way to go Jeff! We all knew you'd be posting some sort of apology for you buddies. What a blank bullet you are!
Anom at 8.03 AM. Some one just might ask the same question of you. At what hat level above Little League did you play? What qualifies you as an expert?
BTW: The community is so exited that they are staying home in droves or haven't you noticed in blind following. Bet your really Jeff.
Franni Williams, Sweetheart of the Game..really?
Most people in Washington fall into one of these categories: in jail, drug dealer, unemployed, old and on a fixed income, living here only a few days a week while working in gas well drilling and returning to Texas for the remainder of the week. That means they either can't go to the Wild Things games, are too busy selling drugs to go to the games, can't afford to go to the games or spend their free time traveling back to Texas. No wonder attendance is lousy.
Okay, I've read all these blogs and no one has mentioned that if the WT are doing so great why is attendance down so low? I've been to every game this season and have yet to see but only half the bleachers filled. I go to watch the game and don't care about all your other complaints.
However, it would be nice to see another full house like a few years back. Makes watching the game more enjoyable.
It’s easy folks, no one is going to the games because of all the damage done over the past few years by ownership and pretend management. There are no, repeat no baseball people involved above Bart. It’s so funny to hear non-baseball people talk like they wrote Money Ball. The beer is too expensive, the concessions stand are filthy and serve bad food and the$5 parking is just plain greedy. It’s a real shame. Ross cared and so did a bunch of the other management people who ran screaming into the night.
