The Iowa lineup:

 

Tolbert, SS

Sappelt, CF

Adduci, RF

Rohan, 3B

Lalli, 1B

Frazier, LF

Hernandez, 2B

Esposito, C

Only 2 players in the lineup under 26. The 6 players with more than 16ABs have only 1 player with an OPS over .667, Adduci in 79 ABs has a 1.000 OPS.

Sprinkle in Paul LoDuca and Eric Gagne, and you have a damn fine Indy League team.

Dayton and Iowa have switched spots of being the most and least interesting minor league affiliates in a matter of hours

Iowa hasn't been the most interesting since Rizzo got called up.

[rawaction]

Baez with his 3rd K in 5 Daytona ABs. :?

i was looking forward to the appleton series in a couple weeks

[Guest]

ok javy, stop doing that

[StarlinOnYou]

Baez is getting humbled right now.

 

0/3 3 K's

[TruffleShuffle]

Baez is getting humbled right now.

also made an error

[El Duderino]

Baez is getting humbled right now.

 

Yup. Hang with 'em, kid.

[toonsterwu]

Just not a good game for Baez, particularly when you factor in the error (curious if anyone is following the game close enough to know if that fielding error was field related or if it was just a bad blunder by Baez).

 

That said, if he learns from this, then the struggles are a good thing.

 

Any news on why Francescon was pulled? Injury?

 

Jensen with a very solid outing.

[iowahawkeyes89]

I truly believe that Baez struggling like this is better for his development than him continuing to not be challenged by Midwest League pitching.

 

He'll make the necessary adjustments and be fine.

[Guest]

is soler playing tonight? did they ever say anything about why he didn't play the last game?

[El Duderino]

Jorge Soler missing again. Ugh.

[Infrequent Poster]

I didn't know if you guys had seen this in Bruce's blog.

 

On Alcantara

 

I'm told Alcantara is probably out for the year. Jae-Hoon Ha, though, should be back by next week.
