July 23, 201312 yr http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130723 Kannapolis playing. Olacio seems to be improving. Birmingham facing Holmberg tonight. Teammates next week?
July 23, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 06:12 PM) Wilkins out again Strange. Is it just me, or is he losing at bats to Mike McDade and Travis Ishikawa? Edited July 23, 201312 yr by Jake
July 23, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 11:13 PM) Strange. Is it just me, or is he losing at bats to Mike McDade and Travis Ishikawa? No way they're benching him to get others at bats. He's most likely banged up.
July 24, 201312 yr QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 06:41 PM) Olacio hasn't allowed an ER in at least 20 IP. He must have a wicked sinker. 2.37 GO/AO this year.
July 24, 201312 yr Hawkins hits HR #18. Micah is 2/4, with 2 SB. Now hitting .321 in High-A with 7 SB in 18 games.
July 24, 201312 yr Patrick Palmeiro hit a home run and a double today for Bristol. Thurman Hall was 2-for-5 with a double...although, he did strike out looking on a full count with the bases loaded to end the game. Earley, Thomore, Ayala, and Stoner all got hits. Nick Parent continues to struggle...batting average down to .106 after going 0-for-4 with 3 K's. That's 3 strike outs in 4 of his past 5 appearances. Jeffry Santos also had an awful day at the plate. Also was 0-for-4 with 3 K's Also, it seems like Ayala is finally getting more at bats...he's played in 3 straight games. Edited July 24, 201312 yr by jthunder93
July 24, 201312 yr Author Another nice start for Arroyo. 6 inn 4 hits 1 unearned run 0 bb 8 k Holmberg gave up 1 run on 4 hits and 4 walks in 5 innings.
July 24, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 09:22 PM) 1-2, 2 BB for Semien If Gordon goes to DL, don't tell me you're not a little tempted to see Semien play in the bigs

July 24, 201312 yr Anyone else impressed with Jacobs so far in Birmingham? He has shown he can hit so far and has real good at bats and driving in runs.
July 24, 201312 yr QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 09:38 PM) Anyone else impressed with Jacobs so far in Birmingham? He has shown he can hit so far and has real good at bats and driving in runs. I'm not so sure I'd call it impressed, more like perplexed. He has a hit in each of his 7 games with the team, but today was also his first day without a strikeout. He has a couple walks, which is fine, but only one extra base hit (a double). The average is strangely high, the power bizarrely low and the strikeout rate is worryingly high. I've seen worse starts to the AA adjustment so I guess you can be impressed.
July 24, 201312 yr Micah Johnson was 4-6 tonight, batting .337. He is showing he was no fluke in low A. Really hope he keeps this up as he moves to AA and eventually AAA
July 24, 201312 yr QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 09:25 PM) If Gordon goes to DL, don't tell me you're not a little tempted to see Semien play in the bigs I'd be incredibly tempted to see him brought up
July 24, 201312 yr So far in July, Semien is 309/460/603 with 5 homers and an incredible BB/K ratio of 19/8
July 24, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 12:26 AM) So far in July, Semien is 309/460/603 with 5 homers and an incredible BB/K ratio of 19/8 I still like Carlos Sanchez, but Semien is more than intriguing me at this point. It's hard not to be excited about him.
July 24, 201312 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 12:23 AM) Video of Hawkins' homer: http://www.milb.com/multimedia/vpp.jsp?con...81&sid=milb That ball certainly got out of there quick.
July 24, 201312 yr QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 01:07 AM) That ball certainly got out of there quick. It sure escalated quickly.
