Pitcher Howard enjoying ride at the pro level

Will Korn

It doesn’t take long to notice Midland RockHounds pitcher Brian Howard when one enters the team’s clubhouse.

A self-professed “goof ball,” Howard is adept at keeping his teammates loose through the rigors of a professional baseball season.

“I guess I’m just kind of a goof ball, I’m just messing around with people and whatever there is to do (I do it),” Howard said. “I don’t have anything set, I’m always just goofing around.

Noticed box score at the bottom. Was that Riley Ferrell getting the save?

Different Ferrell. Riley was recently promoted to AAA Fresno after coming off the 7-day DL. Had a 1.9 ERA in 21 appearances at CC this year (5 ERs in 23.2 innings). Went 7 for 7 on saves (33 SOs to 18 BBs).

Looks like he had a rough intro to AAA (2 runs in one inning), but he's had successful outings in two of his next three appearances.

I thought he was higher than Texas league, but thought he was doing well in AAA. Hate to hear he is struggling.

I'm no expert at the whole pro ball thing, and have nothing to go on but the numbers (which, as we all know, never lie), but I'd hesitate to slap a "struggling" label on Riley after four appearances in AAA -- especially when two of 'em were lockdown performances.

Hopefully, the most recent of those is a nice springboard into the last half of the month.
