Arcia homered off Sergio Romo? A 425 footer no less? Now that's impressive!

 

Behold!

[FVBrewerFan]

Defense? Check. Hitting for average? Check. Power? Check(ish.) Now draw some walks young man!

[MrTPlush]

Defense? Check. Hitting for average? Check. Power? Check(ish.) Now draw some walks young man!

 

Power? Not check. 3 doubles so far? Brutal.

[markedman5]

Chris Mehring tweet: According to Clinton's gun, @TimberRattlers starting pitcher Miguel Diaz hit 96, 97, & 98 on three consecutive pitches in the 1st inning.

Power? Not check. 3 doubles so far? Brutal.

 

Also 3 triples, 4 HRs, and is slugging .450 again this season as he did last year. 21 year old whose body has yet to really start to mature. His natural swing alone offers a very good projection once he adds strength. By the time he hits 24-25 I could easily see him at 15 HRs a season with a whole bunch of doubles and triples. He's never going to be Correa or a young ARod with the bat but think Lindor is realistic and very livable

According to Clinton's gun, @TimberRattlers starting pitcher Miguel Diaz hit 96, 97, & 98 on three consecutive pitches in the 1st inning.

 

well that is not too shabby! Thankfully he has finally got healthy and is flashing why scouts were all over him after his AZ league debut a couple years ago!

[WV Brew]

It's amazing how consistent Arcia has been. OBP of .346/.347/.349 in '14-'16 and SLG of .392/.453/.449. The only odd note was SLG at Brevard County which is not strange at all in that park.

[Mass Haas]

Granted, it was in the Big Sky Pioneer League atmosphere, but in 2015 Isan Diaz slugged .640 in 272 AB's (.360/.436).

 

In 161 Timber Rattler AB's, Diaz is at .199/.283/.304.

 

Can we trade for the Diamondbacks' 2015 Missoula hitting coach?

First game of road trip is a 5-3 loss at Clinton

By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers

 

Wisconsin Boxscore

David Denson (2-4,2B,BB), Jake Gatewood (2-5,2B), and Blake Allemand (2-4) carried the WI offense again. Monte Harrison got the night off and MH already covered Diaz who has dropped below .200 on the season.

 

As noted earlier in the threadMiguel Diaz can bring it, but he was off tonight, 2 of out his last 3 outings have been this type. Drake Owenby had a nice night in relief with 3 scoreless.

 

It's tough when you give up 5 runs on just 6 hits but wild pitches and balks will do that to you, free bases are the devil.

Colorado Springs Box Score

 

Matinee Wednesday at 2:05 Central with Jorge Lopez if you'd like to listen in.

 

Wow, Shane Peterson, fill that box score, just needed a triple; Nate Orf is the obvious answer to Colin Walsh, as our astute readers pointed out last week; the Will Middlebrooks ineptness tour continues, 0-for-5 with three K's (.501 OPS batting 5th in Rick Sweet's lineup)...

 

Colorado Springs Game Log

 

Taylor Jungmann - 5 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 5 BB, 1 HBP, 1 WP, 2 K, 1 HR, 91 pitches, 45 strikes; Progress? Not really...

[brewmann04]

at least they put Orf at 3rd now instead of Middlebrooks.

what has happened to Jungmann control?

[And That]

Did a little research project over lunch and it turns out that Wisconsin and Bowling Green have fielded the most teenagers this season, with five apiece. So when the Timber Rattlers struggle, at least there's that.

[CheezWizHed]

Taylor Jungmann - 5 IP, 6 H, 4 R, 5 BB, 1 HBP, 1 WP, 2 K, 1 HR, 91 pitches, 45 strikes; Progress? Not really...

 

Well, he did lower his ERA... He has been a puzzle wrapped in an enigma this year.
