Autumn Dreamin

Whole farm playing like they smell free roster spots? 4-0 farm sweep (Kanny postponed), winning by a cumulative 38-14. Barons won 7-1. Gowens (4IP/1ER) and Schoenle (3IP/0ER) pitched well. Somewhat rare offensive outburst for Bham as the recent promotions get settled in. Gonzo was 2-5. Goosenberg hit one 444ft, 106 off the bat. WS won 9-4. Tommy Vail has a tiny 0.75ERA through his first 5 starts/24IP at A+. Bergolla (Banks trade) has looked good defensively, and is also 4-12 with a walk, 2 SB, and just 1K so far. Nishida 3-4 with a SB, .409/.458/.409 so far in High A. I want him to be something so badly. Kath 3-5 with a 2B and 3RBI.

Knights win 10-5. Burke looked solid today. Walk + HR in the first, and then retired 10 in a row before running out of steam. Slider looks nice. Finished with 4IP, 3ER, 3H, 2BB, 8K(!). McGough (Eloy trade) has given up no hits/runs in his first 4IP(2G) in the system. 5K, 1BB. Lots of success offensively: Quero: 3-4 with an HR and 3RBI. Deloach: 2-3 with a 3B, HR, BB, and 3RBI. Elko: 3-5 Colson: 1-5 with a HR and 3RBI.

Colson crushes one to RF to possibly put a bow on it for Charlotte. 105mph and 429ft, Knights up 9-3 in the 8th.

Quero continues his heater with another HR. Also had a single and a sac fly earlier.

DeLoach is 2-2 with a 3B and a HR so far.

Some well deserved pitching promotions:

Solo HRs for both Elko and Quero (batting righty) against Povich through 3.

4 hitless (6K/2BB) for Lucas Gordon for WS in game 1.

The Knights have been cooking offensively of late. They've scored 5 runs or more 7 times in their last 10 played.

Schultz was Schultz. 3.2IP, 1H, 0ER, 2BB, 5K. His Barons ERA is down to 1.64. The hit was a single allowed to the freshly promoted Xavier Isaac (TBR #3/Pipeline #31).

Barons game is free to watch tonight, for those who wish to celebrate Schultz bump day.

Sounds like his ABs will be intermittent to start.

Would expect Mogollon sees some time in Kanny soon.

Elko goes yard in his second AB. No highlight since the MiLB broadcasts are broken, but it was a change sent 102mph/400ft off the bat to LCF per Statcast.

Good A+ debut for Nishida batting leadoff, 2-5 with a run scored and SB. Jake Bockenstedt's debut went less well. 2.2IP, 9H (2HR), 7ER, 1BB, 2K. It was a high scoring affair overall, Dash won 11-10 after going down 9-5 at one point. And in other promotion/debut news, Elko gets the start at 1B for his first AAA game.

In another trade related quirk, this was the continuation of a game that got suspended last month with 2 outs in the 9th with Norby at the plate. He's a Marlin now, so they had to have someone else finish his AB. I've watched McGough a bit vs. the Knights, pretty decent stuff.

Meh.

FWIW, a different guy on the Cards beat says basically the opposite:

Reylo pulled from his start early with forearm soreness:
