Just Charlotte and Birmingham tonight.

 

Beck and Jaye.

Looked at some milb stats, and it appears Anderson and K. Walker are tied for 4th in steals (Engel's right behind them).

 

Also, any word on Montas?

 

oh i can't wait for Adams and Fry to start where they left off last yr. this yr results are nothing but a minor blip.

Engel Beltre was in Knights original lineup, but was removed 10 min ago. No word as to why.

double/triple for Hawkins in first two ABs

Davidson double

Beck's sure not missing a lot of bats this year. Disappointing after his excellent performance in ST that we all saw on tv. Maybe he can make the transition to a set-up man?

Why does it seem we always tend to have the streakiest of streaky hitters in our minor league system?

 

Too many "all or nothing" players and not enough Ravelos who are more consistent and patient hitters with a higher OBP/contact rate.

Usually what happens when you go after super toolsy guys that need a lot of refining (Thompson, Anderson, Hawkins). High ceiling, very low floors for all 3 of them when they were drafted.

And we decided to get rid of him

Jaye no-hitter through 6. 6 k's

 

Farrell made an error, that's it.

am i wrong in thinking, that Mitchell should be in that group???

Jaye thru 7. 95 pitches

 

Winiarski will be pitching the 8th. Weak. He gave up a hit.

Jaye has been pretty fantastic so far in AA. Beck ended up with 7 Ks, just gave up some runs tonight.

Yes, but nobody really cares about him or Walker at this point...so not worth mentioning, that point's been driven into the ground by now.

i was trying to think of a smartarse response. i failed miserably

Wow, Mike Hessman is still playing!

Beck wasn't missing bats last year. It kept being attributed to him working on something.

2-out triple for Thompson in the 10th, Coats drove him in to win it.

Myles Jaye looking good. He needs a big year.

Mitchell already fell through the floor.

In fairness, his inability to play any position other than 1B was going to require the development of significantly more power. But yeah, it seems like the org undervalues the rare guy who actually shows a quality approach.

That's why we have the DH.

Take a look at the Dash - they actually have a bunch of guys with much lower K rates than previously (guys like Engel, Barnum, Walker are lower), plus guys like Peter and Narvaez that are high contact guys anyway. Not sure if one of their coaches hit on something or what, but it's apparent with that team.

Sure, and I'd rather they did that a lot anyway. Better chance of significant players down the line.

Revamped slider this year. Already had a very good sinking fastball and OK curve.

Coats doing just fine in AAA.
