Ethan Conrad batting third, in LF for Myrtle Beach. Emilio Ramos getting the start.

[Bertz]

I'm going to need Conrad and this new Jose Silva character in the lineup together please and thank you

I see Derik Alcantara is back too, curious if there's any improvement there that predicated that.  Because it's definitely not popping on his ACL slash line

and I was just starting to think that not every single pitcher in this entire organization would hit the IL this year.

Best A-ball outing for Emilio Ramos so far:

 

Kevin Valdez with 6 whiffs and 2 Ks in 2 perfect so far.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Hartshorn HBP two consecutive times

[CaliforniaRaisin]

9 whiffs

Aaron. Bummer is not pitching well, but he's sitting around 92 which is honestly probably more important.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Long 5/5 with 2 doubles and a homer 

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Fernando Cruz HR (9)

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Conrad went 0/5 with 2 Ks in his MB debut.

Coming into tonight had a 128 wRC+ and 7 dongs since June 5th

I really wonder if he was a bit hobbled in April/May.  Some team with nothing going on at 1B should take a flyer.  Arizona for Ginkel?
