The DSL games are still going but Derniche Valdez is easily having his best game of the season. He is 2/2 with his first pro HR and 2nd double.

Angel Cepeda is 1/3 with a triple. Still batting .500.

Ludwing Espinoza has the day off.

Derniche has added a grand slam. 3/3 with 10 total bases.

Wow.  Nice!  Would sure be fun if the international operations had a burst.  

Alzolay has been good, and Amaya with a HR today. 

Man would it be fun if Ballesteros, Rojas and Derniche are good.

Triantos out of the lineup tonight after being taken out early last night.

Don’t want to step on any toes but I think I can say that I heard it didn’t sound too serious

Freylin Silverio only faced 3 batters before getting pulled this evening.

Edit: Now the box score has him going 2 innings. ACL box score watching is a whirlwind.

[craig]

No XBH for Howard since game 1, and hitless back-to-back-to-back.  8K/0BB/1XBH thus far.  

Hope springs eternal.

MB saw some velo tn, Jarlin Susana, and the offense got pushed around but didn’t K much (1 for Susana in 4 shutout, 7 overall)

7 Ks in 15 PAs for Hearn and Howard this week…Box score had Silverio going 5 earlier, changed to 1.2 when I just checked again…No Gallardo tn…Dog days of June I guess…Oquendo and Santy are throwing well in A ball fwtw :confetticannon:

It has normally been Birdsell before Gallardo but SB listed Gallardo last night so I went with that. Don’t think it’s anything and assume he’ll start tomorrow.

Alexis Hernández sporting a 1.118 OPS after going 2/5 tonight with a triple (it’s only 34 at bats and he hasn’t walked yet, but still).
