Thaiss is back today.  Stefanic is not.

 

[vladdy#27]

Fletcher is also playing second base. So Velazquez staying at SS and Fletcher going back to second?

[Revad]

Fletch plays second when both are in the lineup and short when Velazquez isn’t playing.

The more good news we here, the more o want him called up!

Adams has had a nice start to the season and it's good to see! Him and Barkely might be moving up soon,

I would think they'd give each at least 100 PA before moving them up, and maybe more like half the season.

Ky bush today.  3.2ip, 6h, 4er, 1bb, 3k.  No command this time around.  Camera angle was from behind the plate so it was tough to get a read but it looked like he was rushing through his mechanics.  Almost like it seemed the pitch clock was messing with his head a bit and he couldn't get on track.  Mostly the fastball he was missing with.  Broadcaster mentioned 93/94 a couple times.  It seemed a few had a bit more zip than that but hard to say for sure.  Got a couple nice swings and misses on the slider and change.  Big guy.  Pretty much over the top.  3 of the hits he gave up were pretty much bloopers and one was a bad infield hop that ate up Soto (who otherwise made some nice defensive plays).  Both hr's Bush gave up were hit high and far on fastballs pretty much right down the middle.  

As an aside, saw a couple of Maitan at bats.  His swing looks as bad as it has since rookie ball.  It's like he's made zero adjustments.  Tons of movements with his hands all over the place.  super long path to the ball.  couldn't get through the zone with any quickness and got jammed twice.  Not a surprise he's hitting .125 through his first 40 PA this year and around .210 over his last 650 professional PA.  As I was writing this, he swung late through two firm fastballs.  Way late.  Then dribbled a ball to SS on a breaking ball with an off balance swing.  Bases were loaded and no outs.   Don't get your hopes up.  

Luke Murphy relieved Bush.  Fastball is firm and lively.  Hard to tell about secondary stuff but looks like the hitters picked that up much better as he gave up a couple flyout on them.  One of which was a really nice defensive play by Cabbage jumping at the wall after going a long way.  High effort delivery.  

Couple other things of note - saw them call a ball a couple times when the pitcher was taking too long.  Both were the other team.  Don't think I like the pitch clock.  Also, the broadcaster mentioned I think that the entire lineup didn't have one player drafted or originally signed by the Angels.

saw his last at bat.  came up with the bases loaded again this time RHed.  Broken bat tapper to the pitcher.  He's just got a really long and slow swing man.

Maitan and Baldoquin should start a business together.

Dipeppler Pepper seasoning. 

It contains lard, ghost peppers grown by Vlad Jr., and the tears of AW. 

Instructions:  Apply a small amount to any food and then flush 10 million dollars and 8 years down your f**cking toilet.

Is it ok to hope Dipoto dies?

Too far?

I hope he jams his toe on a piece of furniture and then gets the sensation where he's waiting for the pain to set in.  For the rest of his life.

And then he finally feels the pain as he's on his deathbed.

[tdawg87]

I hate Jerry Dipoto so much.

[Docwaukee]

meanwhile, Knowles walks off for the 66ers today with his 4th hit of the game.  Hitting .313 with 11 walks in 48 PA and a .441 obp.  (he made 4 errors at SS though).  

 

[tdawg87]

Idgaf about them errors if he's gonna hit like that.

[Docwaukee]

Aquino pitched a scoreless inning with a K.  Hope they start to ramp up his innings.

neither does Joe.

Tri cities put up an 18 spot.  Adams was 3-6 with a double.  Paris was 2-5 with two doubles

Fletcher went 2-5 with a couple K's.  Rengifo still crushing.  3-5 with a double.

I'm the biggest run prevention whore on the forum maybe and I'm at this same place...  They need as many offensive break outs as possible, if for no other reason in order to create some organizational currency.

With Ward, Adell, and Marsh all looking like MLB players at this point of the season, every OFer in the system can be viewed as expendable to some degree.  Giving Knowles reps in the IF is smart regardless of how his defense plays.

Mark Trumbo sends his greetings from 3B. I remember seeing it on TV and thinking it was bad. Then I showed up on the backfields and watched and it was even worse.

At this point, it's my running joke. Without changes, he's done in baseball. I think we all see that.
