PCA out of the lineup again. It would be great to have one of our legit hitting prospects be able to play every day.

Luis Vázquez and Owen Caissie just hit back-to-back HRs. Vázquez also has an RBI double.

I need to see Caissie’s exit velo on that one. That ball got out in a hurry.

Here are the HRs:

Did we ever hear what Made is dealing with?

Caissie now goes oppo for his 2nd bomb.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Caissie just hit another homer. Aliendo went back-to-back for his first of the night.

With loads of groundouts.

Wicks with 5 HR in 41 innings, he was a bomber last year too.  I'm guessing that might just always be part of the profile, you take the good with alittle bad??   A guy throwing a lot of breaking-ball strikes, and will probably always inevitably hang a few?  Or maybe a guy without a big fastball, as a strike-throwing guy he has the courage to throw a lot for strikes; but some will inevitably get a little too much of the plate?  

Or, maybe some of his under-development pitches just have some mistakes, but in time those mistakes will get fewer?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Iowa running out several pitchers of interest today:

 

Wesneski - 4 IP, 2 H, 3 R (1 ER), 4/2 K/BB, HR

Horn - 1 perfect, 0 K

Palencia - 1 IP, 0 H, 2/1 K/BB

[craig]

Oquendo with 5K in 2 perfect innings.  Two innings without a walk!
