Thompson having a tough go of it so far.

Law thinks Montgomery should have made it as well. Had him in the omissions portion of his breakdown. https://theathletic.com/3407383/2022/07/07/mlb-futures-game-2022-roster-analysis/

Dead, hates baseball, and soft you mean.

Yaz DHing tonight for the Barons.

I just count the number of player names in Caulfield's posts to see if he has broken his record and move on.

I hope Sosa plays today. Found it a bit odd he's sat since the 2nd. Especially with how often he played in Birmingham.

Which part?

The Athletic did a staff mock draft with the beat guys selecting for their respective teams. Take with a grain of salt obviously. Also I would love this pick, mainly because of the dirtbag vibe Jett gives off. https://theathletic.com/3396221/2022/07/07/mlb-mock-draft-druw-jones-analysis/

Yes please.

Probably worth a thread. Especially since James tweeted it. Also, Mahle is on the IL with a shoulder strain for those unaware.

Callis has the White Sox nabbing Cade Horton in his latest mock. He showed out during the CWS and has tons of helium. https://www.mlb.com/news/mlb-mock-draft-july-6-2022?t=mlb-draft-coverage

Presumably the slider.

Love it. Give me more prep bats!

Colson adds another RBI single. Opposite field. Off a lefty.

Colson line drive single up the middle.

Darn. Mena done despite a low number of pitches. Looked great. 5.0 IP 2 H 0 R 0 BB 5 SO. 62 pitches. 45 for strikes. 10 swinging strikes on the evening.

2 more K's in the 5th for Mena. Some very nice offspeed that inning. The Dash announcers picked up on Mena switching up his timing as well. Noted the delay and deliberate pauses in the windup.

One thing I've noticed Mena do today that I haven't noticed in the past is vary up his timing. At least twice today during his windup he will bring the leg up and pause much longer than normal before delivering a pitch. Unsure how common that is.

Colson walks. On base streak continues.

Mena cruising through 3.0 IP. Little to no hard contact. 28 pitches 22 strikes. 2 strikeouts so far.

Mena day! Easy first inning. Weak grounder to 3B, popout to 1st, and a strikeout on what looked like a changeup.
