Let's Go Bucs!
Pittsburgh Pirates 2012 1st Rd. Pk. Mark Appel was Rocked tonight against Florida St. in the NCAA Super Regionals.
3 Innings of great pitching & then an absolutely awful 4th inning.
Appel gave up 7 runs ( 5 earned ) on 5 hits with 4 walks & 3K.
Appel threw a wild pitch as well. Stanford lost Gm 1 of the best of 3 series, 17 - 1.
I know that this is only 1 start. Yet, it does not exactly leave me with a warm & fuzzy feeling, being that we take this kid with our 1st rd. pk Monday night. He is believed to have high bonus demands. Boras is his agent & Appel did not seem to be entirely happy to be drafted by the Pirates, not giving a conference call to the local Pittsburgh media.
Being that these college playoff series gms are some of the biggest that Appel will pitch in in his college career, tonight's start was worrisome to me.
Does anyone else have concerns about this pk?
