[sneakypower]

from July 1:

Baez with 68% contact rate in June (was 56% in April, 58% in May)

 

perhaps non-coincidentally, swing rate is 44% in June (Apr: 54%, May: 53%)

 

this pleases me greatly

72% contact rate in July (45% swing rate)

Awesome pitching today at KC, I'll be keeping tabs.

Don't forget the Futures Game is on MLB Network this afternoon.

Per a couple people on Twitter, Javy hit the facade of the upper deck in his first BP round, and reached the third deck after that. Here's what that looks like, for reference:

It's 339 down the line.

That's a Parks hashtag that needs to catch on......#bigdicked

[The-Kris-Bryant]

I despise this guy.

Baez just big <> a ball into the third deck. I'm feeling very emotional. #Cubs

[davell]

[Shilzzz]

really i haven't felt this good as a cubs fan since the atlanta series when wood doubled off the wall at turner field in 2003

 

edit: no irony was intended here being that travis wood is pitching against the braves today

Another Soler HR. Get him to AAA.

[Clem Fandango]

Another Soler HR. Get him to AAA.

 

Seriously. His timetable can't be screwed with because of his contract right? So he can move quickly without any sort of arbitration or team control penalty? There's no reason for them not to be like "Yeah, he's better than this" and move him up.

[NOLA]

Another Soler HR. Get him to AAA.

Yes, before the 5 game set in New Orleans at the end of the month, please.

[Guest]

Tseng went the distance in Game 1: 7 IP, 3 H, 1 R (a HR), 7/0 K/BB

 

Soler added a single to go with his HR and 2 K, and Russell had a pinch hit single. Soler is now at 52 PA at Tennessee and has a 1.350 OPS.

Surprised nobody had posted these.

[Guest]

Soler, again. To right center.

[RammyFanny]

Well damn.

[ScrubMD]

1.427 OPS on the season for Soler.

[Clem Fandango]

He's been injured so much its easy to forget how great of a hitter he is. Also FUTURES GAME! Did anyone hear what Bryant said in his pregame interview? At a bar and they're all watching the stoopid world cup

[mul21]

Well damn.

 

Seriously, screw it. Bring him up now. He's Cuban and they've all been good to great.
