Hartshorn with a single and a walk so far in 2 plate appearances tonight.

9 whiffs through 2 scoreless for Wing. He had a little trouble in the first but the 2nd inning was pure dominance.

Lovich HR (#6)

Wing might be done at 57 pitches. He got 12 whiffs through 3:

I think this might be the first one he's pulled.  His others that I've seen have all gone to LCF.

So Kepley hasn't played the field in over a week.  If we're wondering why he hasn't been promoted probably some sort of nagging injury?

Ive seen enough. Promote him to AA.

Lovich's K-rate is as bad as last year (very bad), and his average as low.  But his slug is way up.  Would love to see him show a bunch more progress over the remaining couple of months.

Japanese prospect Kotaro Tsunematsu is making his pro debut tonight.

What a strange story this dude has. Why did NPB pass on him?
