■ Coleman helps freshman through first start with Missouri baseball team, says the Missourian:
"He gets in trouble when he cuts it off and chokes the grip a bit," Coleman said of freshman pitcher Ryan Clubb's change-up pitch.
Besides catching on Tuesday night, Coleman hit a home run and an RBI double and drew three walks in five plate appearances in the Tigers' 8-1 win over the Indiana State Sycamores.
Coleman also said Clubb is more successful pitching from the arm slot that he throws his change-up from. He talks about how to get hitters out and how if you're going to throw a lot of fastballs that in college you have to locate your fastball or it's going to get hit all over the ballpark.
■ Max Scherzer lasted 5 innings in his first 2009 start for the Diamondbacks against the Cardinals. His Diamondbacks won the game, but Max got no decision. AZSnakepit sums up his outing:
Lost in all the kerfuffle was a decent performance by Max Scherzer, who pitched five innings, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks - albeit with only one strikeout. He did lose it somewhat in the fourth frame, giving the Cardinals three extra-base hits, but all told, he looked pretty impressive.
