Massive props to Raisin, once again, for the yeoman's work of churning out these daily posts and following up with the box scores. I live by the Cubs minor league games during the summers. I don't know what I'd do without you, Navin...

[Regular Show]

Yeah, big thanks to Raisin for doing this. I'm pretty happy the AFL is starting earlier so we can go straight from minor league season into the AFL.

 

Thanks again Raisin.

CR and TT are kinda tied in my heart tbh. Don’t make me choose, please

[Jaxbro]

Machin and Burks each 2-3 with 3 rbi for Iowa through the 7th

[CubsWin]

Brennen Davis went 3/3 with a HR, BB, and SB

 

He finishes his season hitting 305/.381/.525 with a GO/AO <1, a sub-20% K rate...Just 204 PAs because the org tried to kill him twice, but squeezed all the good stuff in

 

Thanks CR for these everyday

Great day for Davis. So nice for him to be able to finish the season not only playing but playing well.

 

For the record, Davis missed approximately 2 weeks in July due to getting hit on his finger during a bunt attempt, but the reason why Davis missed all of August was a straight up hit by pitch. He wasn't bunting.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Richard Gallardo starting for Eugene.

Thanks for all the kind words, folks. I feel like the best poster on this board should probably post in more than 2 forums.

2 scoreless for Gallardo.

You're not missing much :-$ Seriously though...not much at all. I appreciate knowing I can get a minor league fix here anytime and for any day and, yes your dedication is absolutely a credit to this forum :hello:

Ok, Derwood it is....checks NSB favorite poster contest, nevermind.

 

However, what if they're the two best forums?

[CubsWin]

Oh man. Dreaming on Gallardo taking a step forward and dominating the NWL next season along with Cruz (98 & 99!) pulling a Marquez in South Bend next year.

 

Hope springs eternal even in late summer in the minor league forum...

Nice, nice, nice! Cruz just turned 20 last week, so to be 99-98-99 this young is pretty impressive. Nice to see him end the season with a clean outing. It's curious that he's been so wild in his small sample this season; he didn't walk many at all last two years in DSL and Mesa. Who knows. Perhaps injury comeback; perhaps trying to incorporate different pitches? Perhaps all the pitch lab analysis, and the changes suggested in response to pitch lab analysis, result in adjustments that screw up a guy's control for a while? But hopefully pay off long-term?

 

Anyway, if he's now grown into 98-99 velocity, then I'm pretty fired up about his possible future. Great news!

That's great to have Davis end up with a big day, and able to play. I wonder how much work they'll have for him during the off-season camps and stuff, given he only played 50 games? Fabulous season, and nice to get over the .300 BA and .900-OPS round-number barriers! Will be interesting to see where in the top-5 you guys rank him this winter! :):)

He'll have at least 2 playoff games this week, so it's not quite over yet.
