Jen-Ho Tseng will follow Pierce Johnson for Kane County.

[Guest]

Kane County postponed. Doubleheader tomorrow. Hopefully they split up Johnson and Tseng and let them each start tomorrow.

The jump from AA to AAA may be bigger than we frequently think.

He must be our new No. 1 prospect.

 

Bryant now 1-for-11 with 6 Ks

[Gilby]

I dislike Triple-A.

[ScrubMD]

Iowa hase become the place where prospects go to die....except Alcantara.

Story on Willson Contreras at Daytona. At the end, there's a blurb mentioning that one of Vogelbach's doubles this season was a HR that the umps completely missed.

And despite his success, his K and BB rates make me wince a bit.

Jose Paulino gets the start for Mesa in their season opener.

 

Jorge Soler is batting cleanup and has a double, facing fellow rehabber Archie Bradley. Gleyber Torres leading off, Eloy Jimenez not in the lineup.

They've been improving in each successive month. 3 BB/20 K in April, 8 BB/30 K in May, 7 BB/17 K in June, 5 BB/6 K in his last 10 games. When players are in their first season at a particular level progression is key, slow starts can be taken with a grain of salt.

Soler can't not hit doubles. 9 hits so far this season, 8 of them are doubles.

[Tangled Up in Plaid]

Even you guys are being facetious about Bryant, it's incredibly annoying.

Wonder what's going on, as he's clearly not in the DR.

I'm sorry. What can I do to make it up to you?

[Hairyducked Idiot]

At least he's drawing the heat of Javy's three more Ks tonight.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Tangled *do not look*

 

 

Bryant just K'd again

 

[ScrubMD]

It really seems like there's nobody on the Iowa coaching staff that's helping these players make adjustments.

Probably just getting a chance to watch. Gleyber showed himself to be ready in EXST, Jimenez not so much.

That would be an incredible waste of a season.

 

Soler being there kind of screws up the playing time. FYI, the guy starting in LF today, Ricardo Marcano, had a worse ExST than Eloy (.190/.300/.207 vs .261/.289/.402).

 

ETA: Heck, Manny isn't playing either (clearly Soler's is more important than Eloy or Manny and I can't imagine Manny can play anywhere besides DH).

I know his game got rained out tonight, but I don't see how that's Schwarber's fault.

If scouts can't see him, how can we know if he's still good? Can't look at his stats.
