17-year old SS Nestor Heredia ($200k bonus) hit his first pro HR too.

Mediocre recently? He has a 5.81 FIP, so his 4.57 ERA is actually luck driven. He's garbage and has always been garbage. He gives up dongs like Chatwood gives up walks. Score 15 on these losers and make their delusions disappear before the all star game this year. I was being sporting to him.

Hader won’t be available, Knebel threw 25 yesterday. Get to Anderson who has been mediocre recently and then feast on the dregs of their bullpen.

And it all started when Joe Musgrove threw a retaliatory HBP to start the 7th. Classic Pirates.

It's amusing that Counsel used Hader and Knebel for more than 3 outs but wouldn't budge on that 2nd inning out of Jeffress.

Embarrassing, Javy.

horsefeathers that ump.

Iowa’s second half begins July 12th.

And Pereda one level ahead of Amaya.

At least the Brewers and Cardinals lost. Plus Carlos Martínez might be toast.

Rob Burgundy well that escalated quickly.

Having Javy leadoff against a guy like Nova is perplexing. Honestly, Nova is the guy you need to start Zobrist or TLS against. Really, the NL is dumb. PH for Hendricks at 86 pitches is at least justifiable though I would’ve preferred the bunt and extend Hendricks one more inning.

Thanks for compiling that. The only problem is AZ Phil is only seeing and reporting stats on half the games now that there are two AZL teams. That said, half the stats are enough to think most of those guys should start in Eugene except for Velazquez (already at SB) and maybe Soto/Perez (catcher logjam). Welcome to the board too! Thanks man. I've been here a while before I registered and probably same length again before I posted. Very SSS on all of them. But interesting all the same. Just FYI that's Luis Vazquez not Velazquez in the image. Might do something similar for the pitching prospects. [attachment=0]Capture.JPG[/attachment] Woof, I don’t know why I misread that. Would love to see the pitchers too if you have the time to put it together.
