South Bend's got 10 runs...Canario hit another HR (#5), Pinango just hit a double for his first XBH at the level...Aliendo and Pinango have taken 14 PAs with 3 hits, 0 Ks, 5 walks, and 6 runs

 

canario hit another home run (a grand slam) in the 9th inning.

Interesting that Made has been getting the starts at SS over Howard lately.

That Caissie hit was fun to see. Seemed he has a pretty high set. Not a big leg kick on that one. The Cubs have had a lot of scoop hitters; I wonder if a setup like that might be more conducive to hitting fastballs above the waist?

No ACL game but here’s a fun Triantos swing in BP:

He had another one a bit later:

 

 

And am XBH:

 

[We Got The Whole 9]

Triantos' numbers after his first 2 games are fantastic. 10% K with a 150 wRC+

While they're certainly not our best prospects, Velazquez, Canario, and Nwogu are the guys I find myself most excited about recently. Velazquez especially, if the control of the strike zone he's showing at AA is real that's a first division starter.
