Probable Starters

 

Iowa: RHP Chris Volstad (4.78 ERA, 4.37 FIP, 37.2 IP, 30 K, 10 BB)

Tennessee: RHP Dallas Beeler (4.32 ERA, 4.43 FIP, 75 IP, 30 K, 27 BB)

Daytona: RHP Robert Whitenack (7.30 ERA, 6.08 FIP, 12,1 IP, 4 K, 5 BB)

Peoria: LHP Gerardo Concepcion (7.63 ERA, 5.55 FIP,46 IP, 27 K, 28 BB)

Boise: RHP Ian Dickson (4.16 ERA, 6.75 FIP, 4.1 IP, 2 K, 2 BB)

 

Not sure who will start for the AZL Cubs but if I had to guess, I'd say Hunter Ackerman.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Peoria about to get underway at home, but it's a Concepcion night, so it'll probably be an hour or so before we get more Baez.

[davell]

Our DSL phenom, Jose Paulino, went 5, giving up a solo homer and striking out 5. No other hits given up, nor walks. Let's amp up the questions to Badler, I really want to know SOMETHING about this guy.

[Rizzo Smash]

Brett Jackson homers

I wouldn't be shocked if Badler doesn't know anything about Paulino as of now.

[RammyFanny]

Szczur 1/2 with a BB, K, and SB. Whitenack through 4 scoreless with 2 K's and no walks.

[TruffleShuffle]

rubi silva now 4-for-17 on stolen base attempts this year.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Jackson 2-for-2.

[rawaction]

Jackson 2-for-2.

Yet he still somehow has a swinging K

lmao

[Little Slide Rooter]

Whitenack with his best outting so far. 5 IP 0 R 3 H 3 K 0 BB.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Jackson 2-for-2.

Yet he still somehow has a swinging K

 

Only 1? Impressive.

[javy knows my name]

Jackson 2-for-2.

Yet he still somehow has a swinging K

 

HA

Ricardo Esteves got the start for Mesa. Dan Vogelbach is 1/3 with a double thus far.

[Guest]

Goodness, Jackson K'ed all 3 times up after those 2 hits. For June, he has a K rate just shy of 50%, and an OPS of about .940.

[Guest]

Another double for Vogelbach.

[TruffleShuffle]

i don't know who timothy saunders is (azl cubs) but he's 6-for-6... all singles.

32nd rounder from the draft earlier this month.

 

Story on him posted in the June Amateur Draft Forum: Saunders better than Correa

Only Brett Jackson.

[Guest]

Damn it!

 

It's fixed.

unreal.

Don't think a .489 BABIP is sustainable?

 

On his NON-strikeout plate appearances, Jackson is 24 for 45, for a line of .533/.611/1.022. For the year that line is .418/.507/.794. Those season numbers are pretty consistent over his career also. So, basically....good things happen when he puts the ball in play due to his speed, power, and line drive hitting ability. I'm not sure if he can change as a player, but Austin Jackson has had a pretty nice turnaround in Detroit. But Austin has never struck out at the rate Brett is striking out right now.

Brett Jackson and the 1.400 OPS Game You Can't Even Be Happy About

[ctcf]

Nice to see Whitenack settling down a bit
