Hrbek fifth Otter signed to affiliated baseball this season

0
Evansville Otters relief pitcher Danny Hrbek had his contract purchased by the New York Mets this weekend.

“I always thought that Danny would get looks early in the season from affiliated organizations,” Otters manager Andy McCauley said.

“He has a plus fastball with good spin that keeps its plane through delivery. It’s very successful up in the zone that’s complimented with a wipeout slider.”

Danny Hrbek, from Allentown, Pa., signed and joined the Otters going into the 2019 Spring Training season following two seasons in the Kansas City Royals organization.

“When Andy (McCauley) told me, that I was going to the Mets, I got chills,” Hrbek said. “They were my favorite team growing up so it’s an honor to get the opportunity with them.”

“I can’t thank the coaching staff in Evansville enough for the opportunities they gave me.”

In his last appearance with the Otters, Hrbek earned a save on June 18 against the Washington Wild Things, sealing a 5-4 win for the Otters. He struck out two in an inning of work.

“The key for me this season was sticking within myself and not trying to be something I’m not,” Hrbek said. “That mindset has helped me tremendously.”

“Danny is a very composed, mature pitcher with a high baseball IQ because of his time as a hitter in college,” McCauley said. “He is a hard worker with a professional approach to his daily routines.”

Overall, Hrbek had five saves and a 1.08 ERA with 27 strikeouts in 16.2 innings pitched, making 15 appearances. The right-hander had allowed two earned runs total and zero allowed in his last seven appearances.

Hrbek played collegiately at Radford University before joining the Royals organization in 2017.

“I’m just going to try to show them what I have, going to continue to work hard and get better,” said Hrbek.

“I’m excited to get to work with a whole new group of teammates and coaching staff.”

Hrbek is the fifth Otters player to be signed to an affiliated organization this season and second signed by the Mets.

In May, utility position player Taylor Lane signed with the Mets organization after possessing a .348 batting average to start the season with the Otters.

Last week, starting pitcher Randy Wynne signed with the Reds organization following a 5-2 start with a 3.42 ERA and 47 strikeouts, and Jacques Pucheu signed with the Reds following one start with the Otters, going 4.1 innings pitched with four strikeouts and zero walks.

A couple weeks before that, starting pitcher Patrick McGuff signed with the Diamondbacks organization after a 5-0 start with a 1.04 ERA and 60 strikeouts.

The Otters have sent 79 players to affiliated organizations out of Evansville.

Crouch: Applications now open for new mentorship program

0

Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch and the Indiana Office of Community and Rural Affairs announced the peer program, designed for communities to work together on improving their quality of place programming and have productive development conversations, is now open for applications.

“We know how successful communities can be when they look to their neighboring regions and work together towards a common goal,” Crouch said. “Now, with the help of the Office of Community and Rural Affairs, these partnerships can provide higher qualities of life for all Hoosiers.”

The program’s goal is for local leadership to gather best practices and the necessary tools to advance an innovative vision through in-person assessments, stakeholder conversations and peer advisement.

Any size community can be a peer participant or host community. The lead applicant must be a local unit of government with multiple organization and agency partnerships committed to participating during the process. Those involved should be key stakeholders and individuals who are decision makers.

“In our Strategic Plan, expanding the quality of place opportunities is one avenue we identified as a way to help retain, attract and develop talent as well as encourage regionalism,” said Jodi Golden, Executive Director of OCRA.  “The program’s success will be realized by the communities’ ability to share strategies with others facing similar challenges.  We are excited about the potential this pilot program holds.”

Golden said once applications are reviewed, OCRA will pair the final two communities. The host community will receive a $20,000 grant to implement a quality of place project based on recommendations from the process. A $20,000 cash match will be required from the peer community. Travel stipends will be available for both communities to fund travel costs.

An informational video will be available on Wednesday, June 26 that further explains the program and application process. Applications for either the host or peer community are due by 4 p.m. ET, Friday, August 16, 2019. Applications received after 4 p.m. ET will not be accepted. Paired communities will be announced on Thursday, September 12. For more information, visit www.in.gov/ocra/2999.htm.

Welch stellar once again as Otters win weekend series

0
The Evansville Otters received another stellar performance on the mound from Jake Welch Sunday, going eight innings at his old stomping grounds for a 3-2 Otters win over the Lake Erie Crushers.

Welch returned to his home collegiate ballpark in front of his friends and family, throwing eight innings, allowing two unearned runs, and striking out eight on Sunday. He outdueled Lake Erie starter Alex Romero in a low-scoring contest.

Welch attended Notre Dame College of Ohio, which is a short drive from Sprenger Stadium, home of the Crushers. He felt good coming back to a familiar field and proved it on the mound in the Otters series-clinching win.

Offensively, the Otters scored the first tally of the game once again.

In the top of the third, playing right field for the first time this season, Mike Rizzitello led off with a double.

Two batters later, David Cronin hit a ground-rule double over the fence in left-centerfield, which would hold Rizzitello at third.

Ryan Long continued his hit parade with a two-out, two-RBI single to give the Otters a 2-0 lead, bringing his season RBI total to 33.

In the top of the fifth with one out, J.J. Gould smacked a single up the middle, and scored on an RBI double by Cronin, extending the Otters lead to three.  It would be Cronin’s second double of the day.

In the bottom of the fifth, the Crushers would put two runs on the board.

Emmanuel Marrero led off with a double, and advanced to third after Aaron Hill reached on an error in right field.

John Cable hit a sac fly, scoring Marrero, and Karl Ellison grounded out to score Hill to make the score 3-2 in favor of Evansville.

From there, Welch was smooth sailing. Two of his next three innings went 1-2-3, shutting the door down on the Crushers. He would earn the win, improving his record to 3-1 and an ERA of 2.66.

Taylor Wright relieved Welch in the ninth and shut the Crushers down in order. Back-to-back strikeouts to Jake Vieth and Dale Burdick ended the game, giving Wright 30 strikeouts on the year and his fourth save of the season.

“IS IT TRUE” JUNE 24, 2019

4

We hope that today’s “IS IT TRUE” will provoke honest and open dialogue concerning issues that we, as responsible citizens of this community, need to address in a rational and responsible way.

IS IT TRUE that this upcoming Wednesday City-County Observer “Living Outside The Box” Speakers Series  event will begin in earnest??  …we started out to make this event  invitation only but it quickly got out of control when we started to receive many requests from interested people that wanted to attend?  … we originally planned to invite 20 guest but it quickly multiplied to 40 guests?  …even more amazing is we now have a waiting list around 23 guests who want to attend our next session?

IS IT TRUE if our elected officials want to clean up Jimtown and Jacobsville, the first step is to stop the Jims and Jacobs who seemly rob and pillage everything that is put there? …good paying jobs, reliable public transportation, affordable and livable housing, good schools, affordable daycare services, a quality grocery store and accessible and affordable healthcare would go a long way in helping people in that area?

IS IT TRUE that last week a group of the more privilege individuals of this area attended a “plush” political fund raising event for Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch at the home of a local business tycoon?  …this event raised $200,000 for the re-election campaign of the Holcomb and Crouch ticket?  …did we forget to say that Mayor Winnecke gave a glowing introduction speech of Lt. Governor Crouch?

IS IT TRUE that Mayor Winnecke re-election political war chest is alleged to have $750,000 in it?

IS IT TRUE we are hearing that many citizens are extremely pleased with the way that District #77 State Representative Ryan Hatfield is conducting himself?

IS IT TRUE it looks like the rampant drug related homicides investigation in our area is beginning to take a financial toll on the Vanderburgh County Coroner’s 2019 budget?

IS IT TRUE we have an outstanding group of law enforcement professionals that are doing everything they can to protect us?  …Its almost impossible for members of law enforcement to stop anyone from killing someone?  …It’s obvious that it’s time for our  elected officials  to look for more creative ways to help of our law enforcement agencies so they can do a better job fighting violent crime?

IS IT TRUE we are hearing that there is a quiet movement a foot to find a way to fund a discount grocery operation on North Main Street?  …we are told that the Director of the Evansville DMD may have found a one?  …we are told that this could be a developing story?

IS IT TRUE we wonder how many people have received summons to appear at the Warrick, Posey and Vanderburgh County Superior Court-Small Claims Division to dispute the validity of a medical debt allegedly owed for medical services at area hospitals during the last two years?

IS IT TRUE that ProPublica newspaper claims that medical bills are often riddled with errors? …that they also suggests that you should ask your medical provider if they have a financial assistance policy, which could result in a sliding scale discount?

IS IT TRUE we wonder if  members of the City Council, County Commission or County Council will ever provide an interpreter for those attending meetings who have a major hearing problem?

IS IT TRUE we are told that First Ward City Council candidate Ben Trockman is having a mega political fundraising event at the Knob House located on the property of the Knob Hill Tavern?  …this event is being held this coming Tuesday between 5:30 to 8:00 pm?

IS IT TRUE if any candidate running for the Evansville City Council and would like to put their upcoming political event in the CCO  please send the information to City-County Observer@live.com?

IS IT TRUE last year the Indiana Department of Revenue’s Tax Advisory Council convened behind closed doors for its inaugural quarterly meeting? … that the Revenue Tax Advisory Council was created in December of 2017?  …the group’s mission is to “shape the future of tax administration by providing input regarding agency operations, policies and legislative proposals,” according to the department?  …we wonder if they met behind closed doors this year? …we are highly disappointed that not one individual appointed to this Advisory Council is from this area?

Todays ‘Readers Poll” question is: How do you rate the overall performance of Indiana Governor Eric Holcomb?
