  1. James McArthur has been impressive as a starter with Wmsprt. In 3 starts, spanning 13 innings, he’s given up only 8 hits and 0 ERs. He has 12 Ks and 5 BBs. The 12th round pick from Mississippi, at 6’7″ 230, must look pretty imposing on the mound.

  2. Pigs game was strange. Ground ball one hop back to de Los Santos with one out bases loaded in 2nd. Couldn’t have been a more perfect DP. de Los Santos drops it and has only a play to 1st. Of course then 5 runs score and it’s effectively game over. Comment on Walding. Either he had an off day or he is a lousy 3B. Missed 2 balls 2 ft right of him and one ball 2 ft left of him. Allowed 5 runs in. Only plays he made were on balls directly at him. He has zero range.

  4. Clearwater Threshers were up 5-0 in the 3rd inning of their 2nd game on Sunday when the rains came. Tough to have that game cancelled. Requena was pitching well. Luke Williams was 2-2 with his 10th homer, a solo shot. Lino (2), Gomez, Gamboa with the other RBIs. Unfortunately, none of those stats count.

  5. Not sure I saw this posted anywhere … Keith Law on Jhailyn Ortiz

    Simon: Jhailyn Ortiz….real deal or just a guy?

    Keith Law: I am completely sold on the bat. I am far from sold that he can play LF.

    1. Seems to be playing a lot of RF. Seems that a lot of Jim’s post say he had another OF assist.

    2. The only time I’ve ever seen Ortiz in LF was during spring training … when they did their pre-game stretching there on Ashburn Field. I have NEVER seen Ortiz play LF in a game. Never, Keith.

      1. I can only assume KLaw may be putting the cart before the horse, but thinks Ortiz’s final position in the majors will be eventually 1st base, if he thinks he cannot play LF…of course Ortiz is handling RF quite well for the last few years, and he cannot see that or get reports on that!..
        Then again, with almost every organization’s prospect lists, he will have a few head scratcher thrown in somewhere…guarantee.
        He does not like to follow the company line…..that is his schtick I guess..
        He likes to create conversation.

  6. I see JP Crawford is on rehab with the GCL, 4 BB’s in the game. Crazy game from the looks of the boxscore though.

  8. I suspect JPC will be spending most of August on rehab at AAA with the logjam at the big league level
