while we were away Doughty had a season high 8 K in a 4 2/3 inning outing. The other two highly rated high school arms in last year's draft, Oakie and Mobley, in Arizona rather than Lynchburg have been consistently terrible, ERA;s over 10 for both. But at least they are healthy and I suppose refinin...

I just suggested in GameTime similar moves but Kayfus instead of Brito. CJ has had a "bad" month 284/366/630. 3 homers this week, 2 grand slams.
Brito in a little while, too, he's only been back in Columbus this week.

The forum is about as reliable as the offense.

I'd bring up DeLauter and Kayfus now. Demote Rodriguez and Fry. Perhaps Rocchio up and Martinez down.

2 in a row over my sister's favorite team; 3 run homer for Schneemann. Solid although short [5 1/3 IP] start by Allen and scoreless relief by Festa [pleasant find], Smith, Herrin and Clase [no need for great defense to rescue him this time].

omitted DeLauter who hit a 3 run homer and walked; probably because the Cliippers game was suspended so stats not yet official
Messick on the mound was not so impressive: 3 runs 4 hits 2 walks 4 strikeouts 3 innings.

Isn't there some proof of injury required to be placed on the IL? Not sure if this would work although I sure see the logic.

Who would have guessed Straw would have more offensive contribution to the Jays than Giminez

And doing even more is former Ind/Guardian Ernie Clement 291/325/413
Giminez 208/291/321
Straw 264/294/339

Only option I can see is if they put Jones in CF vs RHP and bench Thomas vs RHP and play DeLauter and Kayfus in RF vs RHP.

Other option is trade Santana and open 1st base.

Unlikely offensive heroes: Arias double and go-ahead homer. Rodriguez triple and Hedges sac fly. Giants had 10 hits, received 5 walks and a hit batter and left 13 on base. The hero of the day was Kwan who threw out one runner in the 8th when Gaddis put 3 on base; and made a perfect throw in the 9th ...

If he had waited a day, he could have had even more good things to say about DeLucia. His second AA start last night was near perfection: 5 no-hit innings, 2 walks 8 strikeouts Followed by Jack Leftwich, a 2024 spring training star, who has had health setbacks, but back in Akron for his 2nd inning o...

SAN FRANCISCO -- Dylan DeLucia did not have a standard start to his professional career, but nearly three years after he was selected in the MLB Draft, the 24-year-old is doing his part to make up for lost time. DeLucia was promoted to Double-A Akron for the first time on June 10. The right-hander w...

On Mondays only the rookie leagues are in action.

Our Arizona kids won 4-3 but Fernandez [0-5], Arias [0-3 with a sac fly] and rehabbing Brito [0-5] were all hitless
Our pitchers struck out 15.

Baseball America's Weekly Hot Sheet has one very familiar Guardian name and one up-and-comer: 15. C.J. Kayfus , 1B/OF, Guardians Team: Triple-A Columbus (International) Age: 23 Why He’s Here: .429/.480/.952 (9-for-21) 6 R, 3 2B, 1 3B, 2 HR, 6 RBIs, 3 BB, 6 SO The Scoop: Kayfus tripled this week, and...

No one I read can understand why Tommy Hawke, 22 year old OF in his second season in Lynchburg, hitting 300 and with a ridiculous 60 steals doesn't get promoted. He must have a poor defensive profile.
