[Eat My Shatkins]

Bowden Francis through 6 no-hit innings. 6K’s, 2 walks, 81 pitches.

 

He's through 7 innings now, 7 K's but he gave up a home run that inning. 92 pitches

 

Kirk is 3 for 4 in the game.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Holy s*** does New Hampshire's pitching staff suck balls.

 

Groshans is 3 for 3 tonight though.

 

Martin is o for 1 with 2 walks

 

Taylor is also playing, o for 2 with a walk

 

Good to see them all in the line up.

[Eat My Shatkins]

BOOM!

 

Kirk just hit a 3 run dinger.

 

He's 4 for 5 tonight.

 

Smith was on base with a lead off single. He's 2 for 4 with a walk and a home run himself.

Kirk having a big day

[Benito]

NH hitters with 9 walks in 6 innings so far. Love to see that approach in the minors. Martin continues to draw walks. If he can find a bit of power in his swing, I think he'll really take off. Groshans has been perfect at the plate so far. 3 for 3, 1bb. He's been heating up. He just needs to stay healthy. When he has, he's performed at high levels.

[Slade]

Saw this in BA's chat today.

 

DB (Ohio):

 

Who are some of the lower level prospects, or lesser known names, you expect to pop offensively, and rise up prospect ranks this season?

 

Josh Norris: If we're counting the portion of the season already completed, then I would consider Gabriel Moreno at the very top of the heap of guys who have risen this year. Before his injury, the reviews on him were absurd in all capital letters, 72-point font, bolded and underlined.

Kirk having a big day

 

Call him up

[Brownie19]

Really nice to see Groshans heat up. 123 wRC+, 11% BB, 20% K, .160 ISO

 

Stay healthy man and get that much needed experience.

[Ryu In My House]

Call him up

 

Please, the sooner the better. Hopefully we can move Reese of Jano in a trade...ASAP.

[Spanky__99]

This has to be what it is. Waiting on moving likely McGuire.

[Spanky__99]

 

[Virgil_Hiltz]

This has to be what it is. Waiting on moving likely McGuire.

 

One would think it would be McGuire being moved. Considering any team could have had him a cpl months ago for basically free it's great to see he up'd his value with his recent play!

[Krylian]

Orelvis with a double and a walk so far tonight.

[Eat My Shatkins]

Alejandro Kirk just hit a 2 out, 2 run double.

 

He's 2 for 2 and his OPS is back up over .900 now.

 

Need to clear him a spot pronto

[Eat My Shatkins]

Orelvis with a double and a walk so far tonight.

 

And now Martinez has hit a home run. 16th of the season. OPS nearing 1.000

[Krylian]

Does Orelvis finish the season in our Top 3

[TwistedLogic]

Alejandro Kirk in his last 6 at-bats:

 

6 hits, 7 RBIs.

 

Also, Orelvis Martinez hit another home run.

[RobinThicc]

Is Moreno coming back this year?

[Spanky__99]

Is Moreno coming back this year?

 

Yeah. He broke his thumb.

[InvincibleTiger]

Besides his exceptional walk rate, Martin has been rather underwhelming thus far.

[InsideThePark]

Another HR for Orelvis

[Krylian]

Another HR for Orelvis

 

OPS at .980

[Daniel Labude]

 

3-4 2 HRs, 2B, BB

[Krylian]

Orelvis has an OPS is 2.371 with runners at 1st and 3rd. That's how you Cherry pick stats

[InvincibleTiger]

Orelvis on a torrid run

[gruber92]

What's the word on Orelvis' defence? Can he stick at short stop?

[Grant77]

What's the word on Orelvis' defence? Can he stick at short stop?

 

I think that's doubtful, but we said the same thing about Bo so we'll have to wait and see.

[vaff]

What's the word on Orelvis' defence? Can he stick at short stop?

 

 

Maybe. But I think the expectation is that he’s more likely to move to third.

[Krylian]

What's the word on Orelvis' defence? Can he stick at short stop?

 

The thought was always, he'll up at 3B

[InsideThePark]

80% of SS prospects are expected to eventually move to 3rd or 2nd because they can't stick at SS, and then they come up and stick at SS. I don't trust future position evaluations very much.
