I'm trying something new at the end of the stats. I'm putting pitch counts and strikes for each of the starters in; the AAA and AA ones are supplied in the box scores and Wisconsin's are unofficial, being relayed by the Timber Rattlers' Twitter account. (Thank you!)
Oh, after I mentioned Nick Shaw's walk talents, he quit walking. This is much like how I profiled Matt Cline and he stopped hitting. Hopefully this works in reverse, considering my rant about Kyle Heckathorn's walks. As for what happened with Nashville tonight, I should keep my fingers off the keyboard.
