It has become clear that Raisin digs the long ball. 😂

When offseason reports come out the first thing I'm going to do is CTRL+F for Johnny Long to try and better understand what his deal is.  Jose Escobar is probably the second order of business.

Did the back of that pitcher's jersey say "Baseball Player"?

Looks like his FB was only sitting 93.  So he's probably gonna need several outings before getting the callup.

Yes, it was just last fall when the Cubs planned on moving Escobar to the OF to make room for Alexei Hernandez?  He has played some OF this year but is still primarily a second baseman.  His transition to low-A seems to be going well although one wonders which is the fluke his low-A BA (0.203) or his unrealistically high 0.281 ISO. SSS beware ...

Cassie is really ending the year on a nice power surge.
