Jurrangelo Cijntje faced off against his former organization Saturday and turned in the following line:

6.0 IP | 2 H | 0 R | 0 ER | 4 BB | 7 SO

He's been looking pretty good in his last few outings.

The real issue for him is that 4 next to "BB"

Yeah; but that is why he is in AA. To see if he can figure that out.

Not sure I understand the comment. Are you saying that prospects who need to throw more strikes to be major leaguers go to AA?

Org. guy used to cover innings in a bullpen game. More of a pawn than a promotion, honestly.

No. I am saying he is where he is to work on things like mastering the strike zone.

yeah; Bedell went on the IL for Memphis so that is probably why they were looking for some depth.

Two of Cijntje's walks were in his two batters faced while throwing lefty, FWIW.

I read that he was switching to lefty in one of his previous starts so it must be. He still uses that ambidextrous glove that he can put on either hand. The only rule about switch pitching is that you can't change during an AB. He can switch between batters or innings so long as he declares to the umpires which hand he will be throwing.
