Borucki had a bit of a bounceback start.

 

The strikeouts for Alford are super concerning and weird.

 

He must still be hurt. Striking out over half the time with zero XBH.

They should pull him back, if his knee isn't a 100%.

Rowdy with his 3rd HR in 4 games. 4 RBI's in the game with a 2 run double as well.

Let's Get Rowdy. With that strike zone control, I would think it will all start to come together.

Anyone know if the MiLB app pitch tracking is just really off, or are MiLB umpires really this bad?

Working 93-95 mph, Patrick Murphy allows a run in the 6th inning before stranding two runners. He was the Blue Jays' 3rd round pick in 2013.

Alford has to be playing injured, someone can't just become this bad so quickly

 

In positive news, Pentecost hasn't lost any of his bat speed it seems

Tulo says hi.

[mikebel111]

Tulo says hi.

 

I still maintain Tulo will turn it around, but even if he doesn't, it still doesn't fit the argument. Tulo isn't playing hurt for all we know, while Alford is playing with a brace. Not to mention the age difference between the 2. I don't see how those 2 cases are related

You said someone can't become that bad that quickly. Tulo turned bad very fast.

 

Besides, how's many AB's does Alford have under his belt this season. It's crazy to start worrying about Alford.

Tulo is a bad example since he is still good. Martin would be better.

Francisco Rios is good..

Top 3 prospect? Top 5 for sure?

For sure top 5. Definitely ahead of Greene now.

Travis 2 for 3 with a 2B and a BB. Edited May 17, 2016 by Cyborg

Travis 2 for 3 with a 2B amd a BB.

 

A typical Travis game. Patience and line drives. I can't wait till he comes back up.

I would say so.

11 Ks through 7 scoreless for Harris now

[GreekFatAss]

Final line for the day.

 

7.0 IP, 4H, 0R, 1BB, 11K

[Cyborg]

Finally he showed why he got drafted 1st round.

[Krylian]

Any word on what the stuff looked like?

Who do you rank above him? I can really only think Alford at the moment.

Urena, maybe SRF based on pure upside/pedigree.

[Sorrow]

Urena, maybe SRF based on pure upside/pedigree.

 

I'm still a bit out on Urena because of how far from the MLB he realistically is. I've also had similar thoughts on SRF. If Penetecost moves back behind the plate, or somewhere like 2B and keeps performing well and proving health that's another fun piece.

 

I'm still probably over hyped on Tellez as well. Powers starting to come into his game, BBs are up, Ks are still in that 20% range. He's not going to ride a .210 BABIP all season either.
