It’s official:

Has Marquez surpassed Amaya at this point? The walks are still a bit high, but at this point he has to be considered a legitimate Top 100 prospect.

[We Got The Whole 9]

Craig Brooks has been believing in himself this year:

 

16.2 IP / 30 Ks / 8 Hs / 1 HR / .54 ERA / 28% K-BB% / 2.29 FIP

He's 26 in AA with a Maples walk rate though

 

(Still I wish they'd give him a chance)

Anybody want to fill in the gaps on Underwood being listed as the 'SP-LF' for the game?

 

All I can find on Twitter...Underwood got sent to LF with two outs in the first, having thrown 30+ pitches. Not wanting him to reach his first inning pitch count max, they brought in Hannemann from the outfield, who struck out the only batter he faced. Then Underwood back out to the mound for the rest of his outing. Interesting way around those rules. At first I thought they were trying some weird strategy here...first thing that came to mind was maybe them bringing in an infielder in an obvious bunting situation, which is probably a dumb idea, but could be cool to try.
