good luck getting a legit injury report from our org

hartshorn with another 4 pitch walk... starting to wonder if he's ever gonna get enough pitches to swing at in the carolina league

[Bertz]

Grant Kipp with 5 pretty stellar innings so far and pitch count where even this early in the year he might get a 6th

That's some good pitching down on the farm:

Do we have any indication on whether David Bracho is a thing?  Especially as a 21 year old that's the type of dominant outing that is usually not an accident.

Sounds decent. I'd prefer if that was more 94-96, as 92-94 feels a bit "over ager beating up on kiddos' but he has little experience above ACL so maybe balances out? 

Not terrible but not as fun as McGwite tossing 99 too.

Hartshorn did strike out in his last two PAs.

Yeah, he only had 22.2 innings stateside and missed most of last season injured so I’m not too concerned about him being 21 at low-A (also don’t think 21 is that crazy at low-A; we’re happy with Dominick Reid who is 22).
