The Dugout: MiLB Thoughts

He was ready to take center stage and then Tommy John surgery ruined his life.

Yeah the similar path that Bryant and Beetle shared was crazy. I guess the game feels that a torn labrum is easier to bounce back from than a torn UCL.

​

Crazy end to the AA All-Star game.....

Fmode11 Erie's Tony Rodriguez hits a go-ahead RBI single in the top of the 9th. Ken Welsch New Britain Juan Jose Garcia hit s solo home run in the bottom of the 9th to tie the game and force extras (go figure rylaman Carlos "the Texas Wonder" Rivera blows save). Then in the bottom of the 12th abolishthefed Richmond Flint Hurst hits a game winning walk-off home run.

PAgamer07 John Fonsec records unassignable game MVP by default.

If you look Hines pitched a 1/3 of an inning and had a strike out, he didn't blow the save. Also Juan Garcia for me tied it up in the bottom of the 9th.

K. Numbers is the one with the blown save, just for the correction, Hines didn't blow the save.

Correct I clicked wrong pitcher. I will edit post above. BUT, this is not your player:

Ah wrong Garcia thought it was my Garcia my bad.

These are the 3 guys who got late season call ups. Lewis and Randell were September guys and I think all three earned a real shot at the opening day roster for next season.

Small, small sample size, but Clinkers looks like the real deal

dat knuckle curve

I have a top 100 prospect?? Time to trade him.

Finally have 2 top 20 recruits. Gotta hope Colon gets most of his contact. But Ortega had some major growth in the off-season.

Henry Parker being so low is a joke, though.

A Two-Way Prospect?
Sure, why not?

Hurry up Justin!

Just trade him to me instead

I'm feeling the same way about my guy. He's 19, but he's blown up lately.
