Edwards is auditioning for the Kane County rotation. 5IP 4H 0R 0BB 1K.

[Vinestal]

Olt with another HR

[itisallpartoftheplan]

Mike Olt with 2 less hits at Iowa in a little more than 1/3 of the AB's.

Edwards is auditioning for the Kane County rotation. 5IP 4H 0R 0BB 1K.

 

He's not built his arm strength all the way back up yet, was hitting 92 earlier. Getting thru 6 with far less than his best stuff is an obvious positive. I'm just glad he's back. If Iowa does make the playoffs, I could see him and Pierce get moved up for that.

I'm going to start cutting myself unless Bryant, Soler, and Russell start smacking dongers again soon. These past 2 days have suuuuucked. Edited August 15, 2014 by ScrubMD

Yes watching Olt smack the ball around with ease, watching Baez do his best Olt impression in Chicago and having Bryant, Soler and Russell not doing much sucks.

 

Edit: before anyone jumps on me I'm not saying Baez is Olt

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Olt still sucks.

baez has hits that aren't HRs. terrible impression.

[Quakers]

Let's see if Boise can win one tonight. So far this season I have seen them blown out 16-3 in Salem and no - hit through 9 in Hillsboro.

[Quakers]

After Crawford's HR to right (330ish) Boise is up 5-0.

 

Me likey:)

12th inning walk off donger for Bryant. #40

12th inning walk off donger for Bryant. #40

 

I so badly want him to be a monster in the majors.

Jordan Gorosh @JGoro8 · 6h

 

Underwood is very much a thrower, not a pitcher. No feel for 85 mph change. Doesn't roll off his fingers. No FB control, let alone command

 

Jordan Gorosh @JGoro8 · 5h

 

Underwood just rearing back and pumping gas. 93-96 T 97. Fastball is too much for low level guys to handle. CB 75-81 is fringy and slurvy.

 

Jordan Gorosh @JGoro8 · 5h

 

Penalver has somehow regressed throughout this season. I thought he had a good chance to be a utility guy in April. Now, not sure.

 

Jordan Gorosh @JGoro8 · 5h

 

Chesny Young is short and quick. Sprays the ball; line drive, top spin hitter. Not much power.

 

Jordan Gorosh @JGoro8 · 5h

 

Shawon Dunston picks up where he left off last time I saw him. 390 foot rope to LCF for a triple. Plus speed. First ball I've seen him drive

I just witnessed Trey Martin hit a home run with my own eyes. That just happened

According to B-R, it's only the sixth time since 2004 that a minor league player has hit at least 40 HRs in a season. The others:

 

2013: Joey Gallo 40

2008: Dallas McPherson 42

2005: Brandon Wood 43

2004: Ryan Howard 46, Dallas McPherson 40

 

Barring injury, Gallo will make it 7 as he's at 38 on the year.

[Cubswin11]

That's not an inspiring list of names to associate Bryant with
