Its LHP day :D haha

Damn, two games rained out. :(

Another good day from Rusin at the AA level. Not great, but not bad. 6 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K. He's been a bit more hittable since the promotion but that's to be expected as he adjusts to the talent level, but his 14 Ks/4 BB ratio is close to what he was doing at A+. As a 23-year-old, 4th round pick Rusin looks like someone who could help at the big league level down the road as a back of the rotation guy. Does anyone know what his stuff is like?

Haven't gotten a report on him this year but last year, he was 87-90 with the FB, good curve and average change.

Well, if that's still the same, he must have pinpoint control. Actually, with 19 walks in 109 innings, he probably does.

Good game for Geiger. He's been hot of late. And another strong outing from Liria for Mesa. Wes Darvill has a higher OBP at Mesa than his OPS with Boise (.429 vs .411).

 

Also, Wilson Contreras is nearly OPSing .900 in 47 at bats while walking more than he's striking out (despite probably no longer being on PEDs). He's 18 this year; I'm definitely looking forward to seeing how he and Marco Hernandez do when they get stateside next season.

I didnt realise that Chirinos was called up to Iowa, although I assumed it would happen when Castillo was called up.
