Velasquez two homers today

Both Doug Nikhazy and Tommy Mace have been excellent so far this season.

With AAA pitching being a mess so far in their starters... I think both will get that second half AAA promotion...

Or more. I remember when Bieber was in low A and 14 months later he was with the tribe. Would like to see Tugboat with the Rubberducks by mid July.

True, but both...

... are repeating the level
... are old for the level
... AAA is a much different animal than AA, especially Akron vs Columbus. The former is a pitcher's heaven, especially in the early months, while Columbus is made for mashing. Ask Dion or Curry

Maybe they've now mastered their craft? They both deserve an opportunity at the next level at this point.

And Nikhazy, Mace, and Dion will be eligible for the Rule 5 draft at the end of the year so the organization needs to learn as much as possible this year.

Tugboat Wilkinson back on the mound for Lynchburg tonight. The game is not being televised though.

 

[Criznit]

Well Tugboat is human... Current line:

Pitchers - LYN	IP	H	R	ER	BB	K	HR	ERA
Wilkinson	4.0	5	3	1	0	7	0	0.61

 

[Criznit]

And Tugboat's day is done... 71 pitches 53 strikes. Hillcats down 4-0

Pitchers - LYN	IP	H	R	ER	BB	K	HR	ERA
Wilkinson	4.2	6	4	2	0	9	1	0.89

[Criznit]

Everyone has an early game today from A ball to MLB, and no ACL Guardians game today.

 

[Criznit]

Lake County has some legit players...

Mooney and Kayfus (2nd homer in 2 games) just keep delivering...

 

[Lee]

I forgot all about Noel, how does he look? Any chance he gets called up this year?
