Any word on velocity?Owens pitches 7 shutout innings for Pawtucket today, giving up 4 hits. However, 5 walks.
That's great, thanks for putting it together.Just in case you didn't notice, there's a brand new all-Cuzz feed on the right in this forum. Pretty much right after we get one of his pieces up on the .com it will be up on the feed so don't gotta worry about me clogging up the gamethread.
Maybe when he starts playing again? He's been out since April 23 with a thumb injury that initially sounded quite serious, but Speier tweeted today that it won't require surgery. Not sure if there's a timetable for his return, but it doesn't sound imminent.At what point do people start to get interested in Michael Chavis' .992 OPS in 65 PA?
.356/.415/.576, 4 2B, 3 HR, 10 K against 4 BB.
Ahh, I'd missed that. I just saw the line and was shocked I hadn't heard more about him.Maybe when he starts playing again?

Hit his 7th today and added a double for good measure. .303/.452/.616.Feels like we've been chasing big bonus high school potential power bats for years with little to show for it, but Josh Ockimey is rolling along at .295/.446/.579 so far in Greenville with 6 bombs and a 1/1 bb/k ratio. Manageable 22% k rate after striking out in a 3rd of his NYPL plate appearances last season.
Bup Bup Bdown Bdown Bleft Bright Bleft Bright BB BA [START]Looks like Benintendi's 1 day adjustment period is over. Walk, RBI single, RBI double. By tomorrow he should be hitting home runs every at bat.
Oh, blah, I just googled the Yard Goats and see the stadium now isn't opening until July. Thanks for the heads up.Check the twitter feeds of the team. They often will have the lineups before the game starts. But, don't drive to Hartford... you won't see him there.
Wow. I forgot about poor, poor Allen Craig. I hope the guy gets one more chance and makes good on it.Allen Craig 2/2 with a HR and a walk in his 2nd game back from the DL.
I think he is doing OK financially.Wow. I forgot about poor, poor Allen Craig. I hope the guy gets one more chance and makes good on it.
He has started 38 of 41 games this season... including both halves of 3 doubleheaders. A couple of days of rest is not a reason to be overly concerned.Craig got the start at 1B while Travis sat, for the second time this week. Any word on how playing time will be split? It seems a shame to sit a prospect in order to give playing time to Craig.
I'm always stuck looking at box scores without firsthand reports but I never put a ton of stock in ml hit totals, especially in the lower levels. For instance last night there were 3 groundball hits including a bunt single; maybe with better defense there's only 1 and maybe a couple others don't drop in either (live scouting could refute any or all of this of course). Lots of grounders, 4k in 5ip, only 1bb and he finished strong. Not too worried about the rest at this point, aside from the general annoyance of wanting him to be dominant every time out.Seems to be Struggling again. 4 innings, 8 base runners and 3 runs.
Only 1 walk but 7 hits. Anyone at the game that can comment on how he looks?
Absolutely no need to worry and much improved from last start. I too am normally stuck looking at box scores (though the MiLB app and the free radio broadcast helps fix this somewhat). The kid is only 18 and seems to be holding his own in full season ball. That's good stuff.I'm always stuck looking at box scores without firsthand reports but I never put a ton of stock in ml hit totals, especially in the lower levels.
