I refuse to believe Varonex Cuevas is a real person and not someone's Skyrim character.

Headed to the smokies game in about an hour.

You probably shouldn't since it's postponed :wink:

Dammit. I Checked before I left work, and it was still on. It only rained for like 30 minutes earlier. Guess I'll have to go to the double header tomorrow.

Yup, doubleheader tomorrow. We have an Iowa game tonight to look forward to though.

Vogelbach with a HR

[Vinestal]

In their first at bats Bryant K'd and Soler walked on 4 pitches.

[rawaction]

Daytona going crazy tonight. 14 runs. Vogelbach with his 13th. McKinney with his daily walk and 2 hits.

I searched for the retweet button.

Duane Underwood is 92-94 tonight (couple 96's). Good curve and decent feel for change.

 

If Underwood can learn to command those secondary pitches...look out.

 

Really underrated prospect in my opinion. Surprised he doesn't get more love from the national guys.

[Vinestal]

In thier 2nd at bats Bryant walked and Soler singled

[ctcf]

thank you, kind sir

 

 

In other news, my boy Billy McKinney is still 19, 3/4 with a walk tonight, and hitting .330 so far at High-A in a pitchers league

[CubsWin]

Duane Underwood is really developing into an exciting prospect this year. I probably over value having less than a hit per 9, more than a K per 9 and better than a 3-to-1 K/BB ratio. That's been the profile I've always looked for, that and being league appropriate age or younger and having good stuff. I'm sure there are more advanced stats I should be looking for. But in the 2nd half of this season, he's checking all the boxes, all while having just turned 20 a few weeks ago.

He will once the year is over. He could wind up at the tail end of our top 10, depending on how many graduations happen.

My God McKinney is good people should be excited about him. He seems as good as Almora if not better.

Underwood and Tseng at Daytona and McKinney in AA all as 20 year olds next season should be fun.

[ScrubMD]

I'm liking Underwood more and more everyday.

[Vinestal]

Manny with a HR and a double earlier

Really glad they left Javy in the minors long enough to teach Manny how to hit.

the more than 1 k per 9 innings is easy, but that less than 1 hit is pretty difficult, especially without all the k's.

KB had about a 10 minute interview on Olney's podcast and talked about Manny quite a bit. Said he's laid back obviously and watches closely. Will always give input when asked and offers stuff on his own some too. Has tailored different hitting drills for guys. Set to fit them individually.
