July 5th Minors Updates

looks like the "magic man" might be disappearing after all.

[corkedbat]

Majewski has given up 3 runs in .2 of an inning.

I've really been pulling for the Majic man and would sincerely love to see him really turn it around.

So someone will offer us a bucket of BP balls and a dirty jock strap to be named later just to get his sorry ass out of the organization!

me too i wish nothing but the best for this man maybe he will get it figured out maybe he wont...its been bad ever since his arrival here for him though.

[UC_Ken]

I'd really like Bruce to get a Sept. callup. Giving him a taste of the majors will make it an easier adjustment when he gets called up for good next season.

[BearcatShane]

Bruce K's in at bat number 4.

[OesterPoster]

Nice stat-builder game for the Dragons' offense. I'll let reds44 do the rundown, because it's too hard to show who did what in that game.

Dragons ended up winning 20-3, and every single hitter had at least one hit (except Stubbs...though he had 3 walks, scored 4 runs, and had 2 stolen bases). Heisey with another HR late in the game along with another hit and 3 walks, and Cozart was on base with 1 hit and 3 walks.

I'll have it for you when the Billings game ends.

[Eric_Davis]

It isn't likely to promote Bruce with only 2 months left in the minor league season. Unless it was up to the majors like Adam Dunn, might as well build him up in AA and have him full of confidence for next spring.

Yep, repeated at-bats at that level to build the confidence physically, emotionally, and mentally.

[HBP]

He actually started yesterday. The game was suspended with 1 out left in the second inning. It was started today from that point, so the rain stopped him.

Oh, good. Didn't want to see another injury from the tr*de

[HBP]

(except Stubbs...though he had 3 walks, scored 4 runs, and had 2 stolen bases)

That figures but I'll take it

[OnBaseMachine]

Billings is winning 10-8 in the 5th inning. Brandon Waring is 2-for-2 with a single, homerun (#3), and a walk.

[OnBaseMachine]

It's now 12-10 Billings after five innings. Waring is now 3-for-3 with a double, homerun, single, and walk. He only needs a triple for the cycle. Through 76 professional atbats, Waring is hitting .323/.421/.569 - .990 OPS. That Billings offense is tough, but will only get better when Blake Stouffer signs and is ready to play. I also look for Nefi Soto to finish the season in Billings.

[reds44]

Billings is tied 14-14 in the 9th. The box hasn't updated for a while.

Waring is 4-4 with a HR, 4 RBI, BB, and 5 R.
