Thirded

I get more information from this daily post than the prospect report BA sends out every day.

along those lines,

i’m pretty sure the most unimaginative name to give a child would be daniel mcdaniel jr.

human beings, who are almost unique in their ability to learn from the experiences of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

Daniel McDaniel Jr...

…is definitely my cousin’s name. Lol.

Jesus Montero

2 for 4 with a double. .341/.394/.573 on the season while catching half of Tampa’s games.

After Tommy Hunter's start in game 1 (ND) today

Hunter down and Moscoso was called up.

Go Rangers...don't suck...

No, Hunter started

Moscoso will pitch out of the ’pen.

Go Rangers...don't suck...

Yeah, when Harry comes back

Padilla will take Holland’s spot, and he’ll go back to the pen (at least thats the plan now).

Go Rangers...don't suck...

Padres... (so far)

Decker 1-1 w/ 7th HR & BB
Darnell 2-2 w/ 3B
Simon Castro 5.0 IP, 8 H, 6 R, 6 ER, 2 BB, 5 SO, 0 HR (prob. done for the night - but not official yet)

Mat Latos (after 2 IP) 0 h 2 so (nothing else)

i wonder...

If Decker has a 500 obp in july will he start to get some love?

Sean West

Great 2nd start vs Mets, 7 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 2 K

Think he has earned a few more starts or is his time up with Sanchez and Nolasco return?

Now raise your goblet of rock. It's a toast to those who rock!

Hosmer is 3-4 with a double

he is going to be more than just fine. not going to lead the MWL in HR’s like Moustakas did last year, but he will put up a solid line. has a pretty decent line as it is, really.

baseball rules.

indeed

He’ll get hotter as the weather does the same.

Finally gave up a hit

7 IP 1H 0R 2BB 7K’s.

I would say he is officially blowing up…

++1

If he were on either the Yanks or Red Sox, he would be phil hughes-ish….as far as hype goes.

by Rupert Pupkin on May 30, 2025 1:04 AM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Perhaps

though Hughes had reached the majors at Latos’s age, and dominated AA at 19.

Your point is well taken though

my snarkiness aside, Latos has definitely fallen under the radar.

Bard

Not quite MiLB, but Daniel Bard went 2.1 innings for the Red Sox, walking one, and striking out 5 (straight) batters.

Jefry Marte

2 HR and a single tonight…. been waiting all year for that type of game.

Phils Prospects

Drabek 9 Innings, 5 Hits, 0 Runs, 1 Walk, 7 K’s

Carrasco 7 Innings, 6 Hits, 2 Earned Runs, 2 Walks, 6 K’s

Knapp 6 Innings, 5 Hits, 2 Earned Runs, 1 Walk, 4 K’s

Michael Taylor 5-6, 2 RS, 1 HR, 4 RBI (Now hitting .342)

Anthony Gose the 18 year old rookie stole his 31st base of the season tonight!

by Southwest on May 29, 2025 10:28 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Taylor is just ridiculous.

I’m not sure what the Phillies should do with him as he’s totally blocked at the moment, but I really hope they don’t trade him unless it’s for Roy Halladay.

Charlie Morton

9IP, 7H, 0ER, 1BB, 7K

7-2 2.51 now for Gwinnett

by sunking1056 on May 29, 2025 10:49 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

And people were saying Medlen was overshadowed...

I think Morton is the second best pitcher on that staff and should be rated ahead of Medlen. I really like what he’s done this year. Obviously, Mr. Hanson is #1 on that staff. Oh, and I haven’t forgotten Tony Armas Jr. ;-)

Jordan Walden

Another unimpressive outing. I was really high on this kid.

4.1 IP, 7 H, 3 R, 3 BB, 2 K

Sporting a 6.75 ERA on the season. Anyone have any insight into his struggles this year? He hadnt pitched in ten days… so there’s something going on there.

by alskor on May 30, 2025 1:13 AM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

DL

He had been briefly DLed with a non-arm injury IIRC.

Well, it’s only 20.1 IP so far. Some of it is flukey, some of it is a hitter-friendly park in the Texas league, some of it is him apparently having a control fit and driving his BB/9 way up over 5. I think LT he is still fine, he is only 21 after all. Right now a .404 BABIP and 25% LD rate are really hurting him, and his FIP isn’t nearly as bad as the ERA.

Not trying to say he’s actually having a solid year - he’s not. It’s just not the disaster you might think seeing that ERA and BB/9.

Wade Davis

5.2 IP, 10 H, 6 ER, 2 BB, 2 K

Followed two scoreless outings… but he’s scuffled a bit this year. 53 IP, 44 H, 25 BB, 32 K. Not sure what to make of that.

johnny giavotella

2-4, double, walk

not hitting for average yet, but taking walks (30 already) and showing some pop in a tough park. has an 8-game hitting streak though. .321/.457/.429 during that.

baseball rules.

Cubs

I-Cubs beat Memphis 5-0.

Steve Clevenger - 1/4, 1 R, 1 RBI.
Blake Parker - 1 ip, 1 h, 1 K.

Those are the only two guys that really grab attention in terms of prospect value, IMO. A bunch of spare parts may get a cup of tea here or there. JR Mathes had an excellent outing - 8 shutout, 5 hits, 2 K’s, but he’s a system arm.

Tennessee lost a doubleheader to Huntsville. A lot of makeup games from all the postponements earlier this year.

1st game - 4-2.

Jay Jackson - 5.2 ip, 2 h, 1 run, 3 bb, 1 K - solid outing, although control is still a work in progress. His stuff is playing real well, though.

Brian Schlitter - BS, L, 1.1 ip, 4 h, 3 r, 1 walk, 1 K. Power arm in the Scott Eyre trade has some potential, so worth noting.

Brandon Guyer - 1/3, hbp, cs.
Tony Thomas - 0/4.
Blake Lalli - 1/3, 1 r, 1 2B, 1 BB. Behind the plate with the doubleheader and Clevenger bumped up. I’m not saying he’s anything special, but he’s had an excellent year.
Marquez Smith - 2/3.
Darwin Barney - 1/2, bb.

Game 2: 3-0 in 8.

Jeremy Papelbon - 3 scoreless, 4 h, 1 K. Finally back from injury.
Alessandro Maestri - 1 scoreless, 2 BB’s, 2 K’s. Really, he’s Michael Wuertz, which is a positive comment.
Marco Carrillo - 2.1 ip, 1 bb, 2 K’s - strike thrower with average stuff has worked his way back. Don’t be surprised if he’s in the AA rotation soon, perhaps replacing Chen?
Jake Muyco - 1.2 ip, 3 h, 3 runs, 1 bb, 2 HR’s. Like Parker, a former catcher, although the stuff isn’t as good, i think.
Tony Thomas - 0/4, 2 K’s. Really in the toilet offensively these days.
Darwin Barney - 1/3, bb.
Welington Castillo - 1/4, K.
Brandon Guyer - 0/3.
Blake Lalli - 1/1. .368/.419/.509 in 114 AB’s.

Daytona/Peoria

Daytona lost to Palm Beach 7-4.

Dan McDaniel - 1st loss of the year. Not hugely concerned, as it had been 12 days since his last time out due to all the rain outs, and last time, he gave way for Z’s rehab start. 3.2 ip, 4 h, 3 r, 3 bb, 5 K’s, 1 WP.
Tony Campana - 3/5. Think Juan Pierre-ish.
Starlin Castro - 2/5, 1 RBI, 2 E’s. Defensive tools are supposedly there and it’s a matter of consistency developing.
Jovan Rosa - 1/4.
Jake Opitz - 2/3, 2 R, 1 2B, 1 BB. I was very intrigued with his offensive tools last year.

Peoria lost to Great Lakes, 8-7 in 10.

Justin Bristow - 5 ip, 5 h, 5 runs, 3 K’s, 1 HR, 2 HBP. Still not there yet.
Ryan Buchter - BS, 1.1 scoreless, 2 h, 1 bb, 1 K. Gotten from the Nats in the Matt Avery deal, lefty has some intrigue and could see High A/AA later this year.
Chris Huseby - L, 1.1 ip, 2 h (1 solo shot), 1 r, 3 K’s.
Junior Lake - 2/5, 2 K’s. Average up to .250, which is solid, considering his awful start. .150ish isop is solid enough, considering how much development he has left. .276/.290/.418 in May.
Josh Harrison - 1/5, 1 HR, 3 RBI’s, 1 R. Nothing else he can show at Peoria unless he’s going to get regular IF time, which is unlikely.
Josh Vitters - 0/5, 2 K’s.
Kyler Burke - 1/5, 1 R, 1 2B, 2 K’s, 1 Assist.
Nelson Perez - 2/5, 1 R, 1 K.
Michael Brenly - 2/5, 1 R, 1 2B, 1 RBI.
Ryan Flaherty - 1/1, 1 R, 1 HR, 2 RBI.
