Aaron Schnurbusch 2-2, HR. Came in hitting .390/.500/.560 (albeit with an absurd BABIP). I'd say he's earned a promotion.

Starter for Great Falls tonight, UDFA Aron McRee, has 26 strikeouts and 1 walk in 30.2 IP in rookie-ball

Call 3-3, HR

Nice having a competent receiver back there for once.

Alex Call leadoff dinger

QUOTE (Insp @ Jul 21, 2016 -> 08:03 PM) How can you dump on Narvaez when he's hardly had any playing time? I'm not dumping on him, I've actually liked him as a sneaky prospect for a while. See my post below from August 2014: QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 06:37 PM) I believe I was the only person to put Omar Narvaez in my midseason top 30, he's starting to get really interesting to me. Came into tonight hitting .321/.431/.440 with Winston-Salem, he's 1-1 with a double and a walk tonight. Between Kanny and WS, hitting .303/.373/.365. 26 walks and 20 strikeouts. Just needs some power. He's thrown out 45% of runners in the pros. Not much info on his receiving. All I'm saying is given his performance this year, I don't believe him to be ready for major league pitching.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2016 -> 07:56 PM) Had same number of good at bats in his one game as Navarro has in his last 9. Not saying he's good, but don't get starting Navarro 80 pct of the time. Narvaez isn't the guy. Kevan Smith might be.

QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 21, 2016 -> 07:44 PM) Why isn't Omar N. Getting more playing time? Navarro is simply horrible I hate Navarro, but Narvaez's 2016 looks like this so far: AA .222/.286/.267 AAA .245/.292/.329

That Fielder for Kinsler trade gets more hilarious with every week

QUOTE (elrockinMT @ Jul 21, 2016 -> 07:52 PM) What's with thIs umpire s strike zone? Two that had the plate don't get called and then a base hit Missed the first one but the second was an awful receiving job by Navarro

Dioner. Navarro. Can't. Catch. Honestly, with the data available, to sign him is enough to make me question Rick Hahn on its own.

Hopefully Shields can get enough outs on balls in play to sneak his ERA into the 4s and we can convince some sucker to take him like we did

All very vague stuff. Fact is this is about a .500 or slightly below roster in talent, it should be no surprise this is where we are right now.

Sox took catcher Nate Nolan in the 8th round, gave him $170,000, just under slot. Thought it was a weird choice at the time, given his sky-high K rate in college, and he has had a woeful start. 0-4 today with 4K for Kanny, hit .153/.242/.237 at Great Falls with a >40% K rate.

QUOTE (ron883 @ Jul 20, 2016 -> 11:18 AM) Call 1-2 with a SB. Really excited about him. He seems legit Now 2-3 with a walk

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 08:57 PM) How do you know that was Navarro's fault ? Maybe Sale threw the wrong pitch or missed his location. a) he hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt, he grades out as one of the worst guys in all of baseball at that, and b) it looked like a particularly clumsy attempt even if Sale did miss his location

QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Jul 18, 2016 -> 08:53 PM) What ??You mean on that stolen base attempt ? The pitch trax showed that as outside. Nope, on the walk, Sale had him struck out on the penultimate pitch but Navarro got crossed up and stabbed at it

Navarro doing what he does best - costing his own pitchers strikes

Jake Peter 1-1 with a double. Came in hitting .276/.338/.414 at AAA after a .304/.378/.407 line at AA.

Adam Engel is also 2-3 with a triple

QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Jul 14, 2016 -> 08:27 PM) Eddy Alvarez 1-1 with a walk so far, he's en fuego Now 2-2 with a double and 2 walks

Ranaudo 8.0 IP, 3H, 0R, 1BB, 4K

Eddy Alvarez 1-1 with a walk so far, he's en fuego

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Jul 13, 2016 -> 01:04 PM) How did they whiff on Kyle Lewis? I'm saying I'm a little worried that we'll look back and think that should've been the pick at 10. It was the pick most were screaming for and he's been killing it since being drafted. That said I'm happy with the general approach that resulted in the Collins pick and hopefully he makes any worrying look silly.

Still a bit worried we whiffed by not taking Kyle Lewis, but have to love what most of the draft class is doing early on
