That's crazy that one fan caught 3 home run balls tonight.

Stop being debbie downers! I think this team can contend for a playoff spot. Bullpen needs to be fixed but everything else is good.

Get back with me when we start beating good teams.

A+ (Wilmington Blue Rocks)
DJ Burt .377 avg, .896 OPS, 0 HR, 16 SB, 53 AB
Khalil Lee .247 avg, .806 OPS, 2 HR, 6 SB, 93 AB
Meibrys Viloria .228 avg, .646 OPS, 1 HR, 79 AB

A (Lexington)
Seuly Matias .278 avg, .960 OPS, 8 HR, 90 AB
Nick Pratto .267 avg, .757 OPS, 4 HR, 105 AB
MJ Melendez .237 avg, .832 OPS, 3 HR, 76 OPS
Michael Gigliotti out for season with ACL
Daniel Tillo 3.68 ERA, 29 IP
Nolan Watson 6.33 ERA, 27 IP

It’s worth noting Staumont has 28K and 10 BB in 13 1/3 IP.

Rudy Martin is also interesting. He’s only 5-7, but has great OBP and SB skills. 14 bags in 23 games, .433 OBP (22 walks). He’s also at Wilmington. They drafted him as a 2B but he’s now playing LF.

If someone had told you collectively Moose, Soler, and Gordon would have well over a .900 OPS, and Junis would be pitching really well, and Herrera would be unhittable...would you believe we'd be 11 games under?

I was cutting some tile for my basement kitchen, so I threw on a work shirt which was this exact shirt. Bought it after J Guts punked the Os in the playoffs. Forgot all about this game and turned it on and it was 15 to 1.

Probably some blame for someone for letting Maurer, Grimm and Boyer play significant bullpen roles to start the year. Me and many others saw the bullpen issues coming plain as day. Its Ned and Daytons fault but mainly Ned for utilizing them instead of other options.

The ump is squeezing Blaine Boyer in the ninth inning of a 15-3 game

This is a perfect game to utilize Blaine Boyer. Up 12 runs in the 9th.

Boyer had a nice little three-game stretch where he was effective, but the rest of the time ...

They need to DFA this POS

Boyer is a dog ****er. Worthless

So Alex Gordon is back, right?
