Colson with a nice line drive single to RF in that at bat.

Yogurt gets down 0 - 2 and proceeds to single up the middle.

Ooh. Jose Rodriguez just smoked a home run. Get hot kid.

Yolbert once again gets to a full count, then lines a single into LF.

Ramos just sat back real nice on a breaking pitch and lined it up the middle. Dude can hit.

Thank god the farm has been interesting to start the season. I'm going to be sad when we trade a bunch of guys for major league help instead of just spending money on it in free agency.

I guess Mena balked a run in from 3rd? Finishes off the 6th with his 6th K. Again on the curve.

Ooh.

Looks like Matt Thompson is having himself a night as well. 2 H 1 R 0 BB 7 SO through 4.0 IP.

Ok. I'm in on Mena. A few hard hit balls, but lots of weak contact (infield singles), and swinging strikes. He throws the curve tons, and now has 5 strikeouts through 4.0 IP. I really wish the announcer would give us some insight on the fastball velocity though. Kudos to whoever mentioned his line from the first start. Think it was @bmags.

Mena is a fastball/curveball/change guy evidently. But holy shit does he throw the curveball tons. Maybe about 40% of the time this outing so far? Got a second K with it in the second inning.

You called it! Opposite field homer by Colson.

Ramos continues to hit with a line drive single to LF in his first AB.

So Mena gave up a lead off homer, fell over fielding a groundball which was called a single, but then got out of the inning with a ground out, fly out, and a strikeout on a nice curveball.

I'm kinda surprised he's off again. See if you can spot him in the dugout. Maybe he's going to Birmingham.

This series has been something else.

Looooool

Gonna tune in to the Mena start.

Fuck off White Sox. Christ.

He's a great story and I hope he has continued success.

Utterly absurd lineup.

Except for some reason Yolbert has a 25% walk rate to start the season. He also walked a bunch in the AFL I noticed. I hope they push him to Charlotte soon. Dude is 25.

I forgot all about the ZiPs top 100 prospect projections that spit him out at number 20. https://blogs.fangraphs.com/zips-2022-top-100-prospects/
