Nathan Orf returns to Biloxi from Triple-A Colorado Springs

Orf hit .333 with seven doubles, two triples and 11 RBI for the SkySox

Biloxi Shuckers

 

Orf's transfer based on need at Biloxi, not on his performance...

 

Just an undeniable talent gap at the high-A level, not just refelected in the Manatees' 16-34 record, in that youngster Jose Cuas isn't a bump-up candidate, and part-time third baseman Taylor Brennan has a .538 OPS.

 

Biloxi right in the mix for a first-half title (one game out), and thus the move to bring "down" Orf.

Thinking we can pretty much give Gatewood a pass on his third base play in 2016, still brand new for him, and this is only his age 20 season. Of course we should look for incremental improvements in future seasons.

Colorado Springs Box Score

 

Three hits apiece, including a double each, for catcher Manny Pina and (again at first base) Garin Cecchini, just an incredible 128 AB's for Pina thus far

 

Colorado Springs Game Log

 

Jorge Lopez' outing was hardly scintillating, but at least his first inning Houdini act was --

 

Fresno Bottom of the 1st

 

Andrew Aplin triples (2) on a line drive to right fielder Eric Young Jr.

Danny Worth called out on strikes.

A. J. Reed called out on strikes.

Jon Singleton grounds out, second baseman Yadiel Rivera to first baseman Garin Cecchini.

I took my eight year old son to the Rattlers game. Hopefully he didn't pick up any bad defensive habits that I'll have to correct in practice this week. There were half a dozen plays where I was left scratching my head. I was hoping to see Trent Clark and Isan Diaz play, but left disappointed. At this point, Gatewood can barely get the ball from third to first when they are throwing it around between innings.

 

Drossner was sitting at 90 on the stadium gun. He only had a couple of hard hit balls against him. Harber touched 93, he victimized himself with a poor throw to second on a double play ball. Harrison sat on a 3-2 fastball from Cedoroth and put it over the wall in left to keep them in the game, before the defense unraveled again in the bottom of the ninth. Allemond was locked in for most of the game.

 

I wasn't impressed with the product on defense, but it is probably typical for this level.

Déjà vu for the Rattlers in a 3-2 loss at Cedar Rapids

Wisconsin rallies to tie in the ninth, but loses in the bottom of the ninth

By Chris Mehring / Wisconsin Timber Rattlers

 

Wisconsin Boxscore

Jake Drossner pitched one of his better games but it didn't hold up.

 

Blake Allemand (2-3,2 2B) had the only multi hit game and pushed his AVE to .303

He can improve, but I'm not giving him a pass. Yes, the angle is different but you are still throwing a baseball from point A to point B. It should not be an adventure every throw. A few errors here and there fielding is to be expected, but he's been awful fielding and throwing.
