Quin Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 I think the Sox affiliate branding is pretty great, but when a minor league team decides to in the opposite direction it needs to really lean into the silly. Great slate today with the Jumbo Shrimp, Trash Pandas (top tier MiLB logo), Grasshoppers and Green Jackets 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dash I could take it or leave it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the current Knights work specifically for Charlotte, but there is part of me that wishes they'd instead go with some form of their Caballeros jerseys full time. Makes no sense for a team in Charlotte, but it's amazing. The Dash I have a soft spot for because it's a punny name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really wish the Dash would go back to the Warthogs, loved the logo and moniker. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestEddy Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 At least Norfolk moved on. Now maybe some ERAs and WHIPs will regress to the mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polar Bear Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Looks like Tanner McDougal is gonna be on the bump for WS. There should be a video feed tonight. Definitely will be watching that one to see how he looks this year Greensboro has a good looking team with some good prospects, led by top 100 prospect Termarr Johnson, so it should be a battle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're still waiting for Gonzalez to show a pulse. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 You build your batting average on balls hit like that, nothing wrong with it. It's the other at bats I'm worried about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't the best contact but as you noted that is how over the course of a season you hit 280 instead of 250. Gotta be able to inside out some balls.
