Anyone else glad to see this month end? At least some prospects did ok. I think this was the best prospect month we've had, Eder/Bush excluded. Speaking of Bush, was surprised to see Bryce Bush still on the ACL roster on the exclusive list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dreamin Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Chris Lanzilli moving from Kanny to WS. Eddie Park back from the IL. I'm guessing Nishida shifts over to LF. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Autumn Dreamin Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Batista continues to look very solid. Allowed a single in the first but Harris got the CS: 6U/6D with 3K in the second and third. Allowed a double and walk in the 4th, but stranded them with a FC to 3B and a GIDP. The game was flying by since Kanny bats weren't doing anything either, but they're on the board now. Nishida walk and Park single put runners at the corners to set up a Gonzo bloop RBI single. Still two on, no outs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 That bloop single depresses me more than if Gonzalez had struck out. Everything that does not work about his swing/approach was evident in that one play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I was right. He just struck out looking at 3 pretty much down the middle and I am not MORE depressed about his chances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 Batista done. 5IP 2H 0R 0ER 1bb 5K 64 pitches/43 strikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw an infographic recently pretty much showing how almost every other 1st round college bat has been tearing it up. Much sads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harold's Leg Lift Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 I talked to someone who saw Gonzalez recently and he has concerns about his bat speed. "That dude has a slow pole." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Autumn Dreamin Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 (edited) 2Ks for Nick "Nasty" Nastrini in the first, though the second one took 10 pitches. 3U/3D with another K in the 2nd. Throwing a lot of strikes, hitting 95-96. Edited August 31, 2023 by Autumn Dreamin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
