Question for the board:

Looking at the box score it appears that Angel Martinez got a start at DH for the AAA Clippers on Sat 4/11 but it also appears he was removed from the game in the 1st inning. Anyone have any insight/ update/ clarification??

Thanks in advance...

Looks like he injured his hand/wrist, haven't found/seen any additional details yet.

Did Columbus just play a lot of pitchers that can't throw strikes or is there a real skill there? Can't tell lol.

It's the appeal system. I've seen some strike 3 calls being overturned into a walk. This would help out players like Florial (and apparently did so last year in AAA).

I like the 3 appeals per team/game setup, like 3 strikes for wrong appeals. Would change the game though. Many more walks and K and pitches thrown, as players would swing less to protect umpire zone (or stick to their feel of zone and K more too instead of weak contact)

Im sorry, but I just can't get excited about a prospect who will eventually shoot his own eye out.

Really hard to not imagine Chourio skyrocketing in prospect rankings by the end of this season.
