And you saw his last AA game. He has been sent up to AAA.Minor league, but... I headed to Akron tonight since it would be my last opportunity to see a minor league game this season. They were playing Bowie (Baltimore affiliate). I'm not sure I've ever felt so old as realizing this is the face of a AA player who's already worth over $8M.
People around us were asking, "Is that really his picture?", and I was like, "Yeah, and he's already one of the best prospects in all of baseball". Holliday went 3-for-4 tonight with a stolen base and is now hitting .338/.421/.507 in his first 36 games at AA.

Nice timing @Sad Sam Jones !!And you saw his last AA game. He has been sent up to AAA.
I was there the night he started the "Pablo Reyes game". His stuff was electric. Maybe the best game any opponent pitched in Fenway all year.Cole Ragans has gone from a nobody to an ace maybe faster than anyone I have ever seen.
Just absolutely dominating everyone. Love watching him pitch.
Perfect through 4 right now. Looks like he is in a different league than the ChiSox.I was there the night he started the "Pablo Reyes game". His stuff was electric. Maybe the best game any opponent pitched in Fenway all year.
Huge velocity jump in spring training and then another one after he was traded.it's so odd. Is there anything demonstratively different in his approach -- arm slot, stance on the mound/rubber, pitch selection -- that has accounted for this?
Well, Barraclough is an actual pitcher. Fry is a catcher/utility guy.So what was the worse tank a game job... Kyle Barraclough or David Fry?
Guess it's still Barraclough by default since we're leading.
Shohei Ohtani was a late scratch for the Angels tonight with a strained oblique. I know he’s a FA, and he can DH while waiting to get TJS, but why on earth is he still playing under the circumstances?
They lost this one because of their bullpen.Mariners lose again. They may tailspin with their starting pitching beginning to crack a little bit.
Yeah though Miller was lucky all evening.They lost this one because of their bullpen.
Maybe, but Texas looks like Maverick in Iceman’s jet wash. The only way Seattle crashes out is if the Rangers can stop their slide.Mariners lose again. They may tailspin with their starting pitching beginning to crack a little bit.
The Reds are back in the NL playoff picture with duck tape and voodoo dolls. The entire pitching staff, which sucked to begin with, is either injured or has COVID. David Bell has that kind of Cora circa 2018 kind of luck with in-game decisions off the bench.Mariners lose again. They may tailspin with their starting pitching beginning to crack a little bit.
Got sent this in an email about RagansHuge velocity jump in spring training and then another one after he was traded.
You did not like some of the off the field social stances of the major or minor league teams, correct? It wasn't any on the field stuff? You were an usher if I remember correctly.Nice timing @Sad Sam Jones !!
I haven't been out to a game here this year because of the reasons I quit working at the stadium last season, but I think I am going to give in and go out to a Travs game on their last homestand this week.
Yeah, they treated one of our local pride groups pretty shitty on a day they were supposed to be having a Pride Month ceremony, so I decided I wasn't going to go back. My direct boss was pretty cool about it when I let him know why I was leaving (I finished up the last week of the season), but the way the owner and his kid (who is also the GM) treated me and my wife (who was also ushering) for that last week of the season let me know we made the right decision.You did not like some of the off the field social stances of the major or minor league teams, correct?

Yeah that's pretty remarkable.Got sent this in an email about Ragans

The Marlins have won five in a row and are a half game back of the Reds.The Reds are back in the NL playoff picture with duck tape and voodoo dolls.

And Sandy Alcantara and Jorge Solar just went on the ILThe Marlins have won five in a row and are a half game back of the Reds.
They beat LA last night, but their next 12 games are against Dodgers, Phillies, Brewers, Braves. That’s a brutal stretch.
Chef's kissWhat number were they going to retire? 245,000,000?
