Baez doubles to right-center on a hard line drive, was thinking triple the whole way, had to scramble to put on the brakes and get back to 2nd to avoid being thrown out.

Womder if it was on the first pitch he saw.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Jackson single, proving once again that he studied the fine art of BABIP under LaHair this spring.

His slash line is so terrible and I don't care. Totally on his bandwagon.

[StarlinOnYou]

Scuzur having a hell of a game.

[davell]

Damn, Szczur 2-2, 2 walks, and 3 steals.

[rawaction]

Baez singled and stole 2nd in his 3rd AB. 10-10 in SB attempts.

 

Edit: Correction. Baez just took off for 3rd. 11-11 in SB

Scuzur having a hell of a game.

He has an OF assist, too.

[StarlinOnYou]

How good is Baez on the basepaths? Could he be a 30/30 guy in the majors? Or more of a 20 SB guy?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Concepcion settled down after his traditionally awful first inning. He actually had more IP than R (6:5) and more K than BB (2:1).

[rawaction]

Baez with a walk in his most recent AB. Looking at Gamecast though, none of the pitches were remotely close including balls 3 and 4 going for wild pitches.

Hunter Ackerman is apparently healthy and starting for the AZL Cubs today.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

And there's brettjackson No. 2. Was worried he would give me a mere one brettjackson night and start to make me a little more optimistic about him.

 

Season: 113 Ks in 332 PAs, 34.0%

AAA totals: 177 Ks in 547 PAs, 32.6%

Jeimer Candelario with the evening off. :(

[rawaction]

Baez in the hole 0-2, works the count full and doubles on the 8th pitch of the AB. 3-4, 2 doubles, 1 BB, 3 SB on the night.

[Little Slide Rooter]

For what it's worth, Volstad had one of his better outtings of the year. 7 IP 2ER 3 R1/7 BB/K

 

And Jay Jackson Kd 2 with 0 BB or R in 1 IP. I wonder how long before he comes up to replace one of the bullpen dregs.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Baez in the hole 0-2, works the count full and doubles on the 8th pitch of the AB. 3-4, 2 doubles, 1 BB, 3 SB on the night.

 

Nice to see him snap out of his mini slump.

seriously, that thing you're doing is not funny

[Little Slide Rooter]

Alcantara with a 3 run shot. WTF with McNutt? 2 outs, sandwiched around 6 hits, a walk and a HBP. 8 runs, 4 earned. I wonder if he's legitimately in our top 15 by seasons end?

He's on the verge of not even being considered a prospect anymore, imo.

 

That's silly, he can still fall back to the bullpen and be a legit prospect a la Alberto Cabrera. He isn't a top 15 prospect for me right now, though.

 

Sadly, he's still one of our top pitching prospects.

[17 Seconds]

szczur up to .290/.389/.410 with almost as many walks as strikeouts (31/34)

 

for his last 10 games he's .419/.561/.581 with 10 walks and 4 strikeouts.

[davell]

Carlos Rodriguez(120k) and Christian Pieters(350k) lefties in the DSL both had excellent games. Rodriguez went 5, 5hits, 1 run(earned) 1 walk, 8 k's. Pieters also went 5, no hits, 2 walks, and 3 k's. Between these two and Paulino, we have some interesting arms to follow down there.

[Gilby]

Let's get Szczur out of Daytona.

[TruffleShuffle]

ah the old june tradition of seeing some guy i've never heard of post a nice game (jacob rogers) followed by disappointment as it turns out he was drafted as a college senior in the 40th round or whatever.

[Guest]

Vogelbach with double #5.

[Guest]

Between Baez and Szczur, seems like a fun night.

 

Torreyes too.
