August 10, 20232 yr I feel like Colson has to be getting bored with free bases. just 4 hits in August, but a ridiculous near .500 OBP thanks to 7 BBs and 5(!) HBPs. Throw him strikes! On the bright side, 3 of the 4 hits are XBH. 2 doubles and a HR.
August 10, 20232 yr Here is the Veras nuke. Pretty good call by the announcer on it too. Edited August 10, 20232 yr by DirtySox
August 10, 20232 yr Weird game for the Barons. Nastrini walks 2 in the inning and gives up a run on a double steal. He looks darn good.

August 10, 20232 yr Nastrini finishes at 5.2IP, 3ER, 4H, 2BB, 8K. He looked good, but the velo was down a couple ticks at the end. 90ish pitches.
August 10, 20232 yr Colson looks mildly annoyed with every ball thrown off the plate to him, but doesn't still shy away from taking close pitches for a walk. Just such an impressive approach.
August 10, 20232 yr Barons middle of the order just wearing these guys out. 3 more in the inning including a nice ab from Quero.
August 10, 20232 yr Montgomery seems so afraid of Colson Montgomery that they won't bring any righties into the game. Hence Rodriguez, Ramos and Veras are a combined 8-13 with 9 rbi.

What is this insanity?

Eloy has kinda scarred me for life. Never seen a guy dominate offensively like that in the minors. And to some extent his numbers are not as pedestrian as I always have in my head in the majors, but still, the injuries and meh power have been really unexpected. If there was one prospect I'd have bet everything on it would have been him over robert, at least offensively. Robert had so many at bats that looked like he'd never seen a baseball pitched in his life.

Veras definitely our least discussed high stat-performer. Veras has a real good hit tool and emerging power, the question with him is swing decisions. He's still so young. If he can make the pitchers come to him with hittable pitches, he can be an mlb regular. If he doesn't reign it in, he'll struggle.
