Hmmm, Chattanooga for AA huh?

 

What kind of sick mind would name a Chattanooga minor league team something other that the Choo Choos?

Yeah... What happened... Who is moving to NB?

Marlins.  Finalists in renaming are Groupers, Halibuts, and Flounders.  Smart money is on the latter due to the easy transition to new mascot...

it has been speculated that the Twins would end their affiliation with NB when the contract expired because the rock cats had difficulty getting the city to build them a ballpark. It was speculated that the rock cats would move to hartford

Rockies

No, the actual Marlins MLB team.  Don't believe the false reports.

I'm hoping for a big shakeup in AAA.

 

I'd like the Twins to affiliate with Iowa.

The Cubs with Indianapolis

And the Pirates to Rochester

the team rotation with dodgers, Rockies and twins

Ick.

Twins to Rochester MN, Pirates to either Rochester NY or Penzance PA, and Cubs to Gary, Indiana, where the scoreboard will be stolen during one of their road trips.

Back to the game. The six guys whose batting average starts with a "2" for the Kitties are 2-14 (both singles) with one walk and two strikeouts. The three guys hitting over .300 are 5-7 with a double and two walks (1 K).

Prolly has to do with outfield defense.

Price will probably need at least 100 pitches to qualify for the wins.  Hitter patience and the resulting high pitch counts is one of the more encouraging things about the season.

Don't forget downward plane...

Holy crap... Minor league Affliates are changing all over the place. The Rockies in Albuqu.. Alba... Alba.. Ker-kee... Umm... Rockies in New Mexico.

 

Dodgers in OKlahoma City

 

Where is Houston going?

Where is Houston going?

Nowhere.

 

Sorry, couldn't resist.  Their rebuild approach has actually been interesting enough to read about occasionally.

Two outs, fast runner on first. Probably will score, one way or another. That seems to be the story for Gibson.

Looks like Giants to Sacremento

A's to Nashville

 

That leaves Fresno And Colorado Springs for Milwaukee and Houston.

I guess not.

Gardy with the challenge has prevented it....

For how many years now has Detroit been hamstrung, or at least pork medallion strung, by its bullpen? It's not like they don't know it or haven't done anything about, but they're still bad.

 

ERA is somewhere between 'quick and dirty' and 'instant and filthy' as a way to evaluate bullpens, but the fact that Detroit ranks only above Colorado, Houston, and ChiW in that stat... Still?  Really?

I am very happy that the Twins are staying away from the PCL. Southern League for Eastern is probably OK because they should have better weather.

Doubles! 

 

From Hicks and Santana.

 

We have us a tie game.

Ick.

Concur.

Although... Jacksonville would be the AA City to get for easy travel from Ft. Myers.

Weren't the Twins in Chattanooga before? Or maybe I'm not thinking right.

Concur.

So if Iowa is an "Ick"

 

What state would be an "Ish?"

Santana has had a really, really nice rookie season.

Yes.
