Box Score Recap

There was a lot of activity as several transactions were conducted.  Jesse Valentin and Scott Kingery were both promoted, no accompanying move yet for Clearwater.

Roman Quinn made his first rehab start in Clearwater.

With all the rain outs, there were only a few good performances to report.  Tyler Viza tossed a two-hitter over seven innings for Reading.  Rhys Hoskins hit his 29th home run.

Nick Fanti picked up his third win for the GCL Phillies, this one in relief..

17-year old catcher Rafael Marchan is probably deserving of some notice.  He had another productive game for the DSL Phillies2 and has kept his average well over .300 for about two weeks now after roughly 80 at bats. Continue reading Box Score Recap – 7/25/2016 →

Here is the guaranteed, 100% accurate Box Score Report.  It took me less than 10 minutes from scratch.  I would love to only have to invest that much time on this, especially on days like today when I’ll be up early to prepare to be a guest on an affiliated beat writer’s podcast at 10:00AM, watch the GCL game from noon to 3:00PM, arrive at Bright House Field at 6:00PM to watch the Threshers until completion around 9:30PM, and then go home and produce the normal Box Score Report.  Note that those date stamps on reports of 2:00AM to 3:00AM are CST, probably where the WordPress server is located.  So, I’m actually posting an hour later in EST.   Continue reading Box Score Recap – 7/20/2016 →
