It's been a while...but on to bees pitching.

 

Well well well, look who finally showed up. It’s me, I finally returned. Things happened, nothing bad, so let’s get back to the mediocre baseball analysis. Oh but before I take a crack at the Bees pitching, the Bluejays just had a hell of a 6th inning in the first game of the world series. They went off. Anyways, back to the Bees.

             Well, what did the Bees pitching staff get up to in the 2025 season? They were hurling balls trying to strike folks out…duh. But in that effort they ended with the second highest ERA in the Pacific Coast Leage with a 6.29. Trailing only the Reno Aces. They were 6th in both saves and save opportunities, which is nice I guess. The pitching staff ended the year with the most hits allowed this time beating Reno by 3 with 1516 hits allowed. Thankfully though Reno takes the most runs allowed with 1016 vs the Bees 959. They had the 3rd highest WHIP and the highest batting average against them of the league. So it seems like they are allowing a healthy amount of contact. This contact was thankfully not exacerbated by base on balls, they are ranked 7th in base on balls for the year. Now that we have the team stats out of the way let’s start calling out some individuals.

             The first person to call out is Dakota Hudson, that man pitched 136 innings for the Bees this year. A full 20 above the number two spot Shaun Anderson. Even with that many innings Mr. Hudson maintained a 1.794 WHIP and a 5.9 strikes outs per nine. Which is a hell of a lot better than I could do. Though even with that many innings Mr. Hudson is ranked 5th in games played for the Bees. Of pitchers with 10 or more games played Mr. Hudson he is ranked 10th in WHIP out of 24 other pitchers. Now who else should I call out…hohum, what about the folks with the most strikes out per nine. Well, those would be Jose Fermine and Angel Felipe. Both with an above 13 strikes out per nine. That is a shit load of strike outs per game. Though their WHIPS are wicked difference with Fermin sitting at 1.35 and Felipe sitting at 2.544. Neither are in the top ten for total strikes out though…which may or may not mean something. I’m not sure if it does, which is why I started writing about the team so I can figure out what I don’t know and then learn it. So maybe next times I will have figured out if that stat is important…maybe.

             Welp, it is a bit late for me now and the Haze Threebus beer from Desert Edge Brewing is hitting me now. So I’m bailing to listen to the rest of game one of the world series. Between now and the next time I write something try to do something kind for a stranger and something kind for yourself.

Salt Lake Bees Check In

Welp, I think it is time to check in on the Salt Lake Bees, the triple A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels (of Anaheim). As I sit here today, 8/28/2025, watching them play Round Rock Express they are down four in the top of the seventh. Sadly, being down is not uncommon for this team this year. The Bees find themselves 8th overall in the 10-team league with a winning percentage of .433. Which is not ideal but it is an improvement from their first half performance where they were dead last in the standings with a .392 winning percentage. With 21 games left to play in the second half they are doing much better. They are sitting at 6th with a winning percentage of .491 which is kissing distance from .500. Though unless something changes in this game, I expect them to put another tick in the loss column. I’m of the opinion that winning is not everything, though it is definitely one of the most important things in a game. To get a little more under the hood of this team let’s dive i...

Bees Again

              Well, I’m back again, taking a look at the Salt Lake Bees. Since we last met the bees have played Round Rock three times. The results were positive, 2 wins and 1 loss and a new winning percentage of .435. They may still be in 8 th place, but I’m still “buzzing” with excitement for these two wins. As I promised last time I will be taking a gander at the specific batting and pitching stats of the team. So let’s get after it.              To start off, who do you think had the most games played as a batter? If you guessed Chad Stevens, you’d be correct. The 26 year old has batted in 112 games for the Bees. So Mr. Stevens batting in the most games, let’s look at their stats. They have a Batting Average of .289, On Base Percentage of .372, and a Slugging percentage of .488. A couple of fun facts about Mr. Stevens they have the most total bases on the Bees and 5 games played in the ...
