I am glad to see Morris and Scott get in some ball games!

 

[DickyLeftridge]

Glad we’ve got the Arizona team starting up. That OF looks interesting with Green and Halpin. Plus Sanquentin in the IF.

Going to need a refresher on the non-rehab pitchers because I’ve got nothing on those guys.

 

[DickyLeftridge]

Anyone else hate Mondays/Tuesday mornings when there's no box scores to check? This uniform Mondays off policy this year stinks. I don't remember all leagues always being off Mondays before.

 

[Martyinnewyork]

The “no games on Monday” thing is new this year, virtually every league is off. It sucks. More evidence of MLB shooting itself in the foot. Hopefully next year is back to normal.

This MiLB schedule is an answer to Covid. It eases the need and associated costs of travel...and helps in isolating any teams that have a Covid outbreak.

Brauny Munoz gets his 1st start of the year for Lynchburg.

Still no Noel and Pries has also been out of action (again) for a weeks worth of games.

Gaddis starts for LC, Plesac is rehabbing in Akron and TMac starts in CBus.

I saw word that Noel is starting the gm on Tuesday for the Hillcats and is schedule to play only part of the game..

EDIT: Noel was not in the starting lineup. Sorry to get everyone's hopes up. Just relaying what I saw on twitter...

Would love to see TMac with a monster game.. minimal pitches.. a small number of K's.. and lots of outs with three pitches or less..

Hunter Gaddis is no slouch as well..

Tuesday game updates:

Low A Lynchburg getting shelled early. Munoz did not get thru the 1st inning Hillcats trail 10-0 in the bottom of the 1st.

Edit:
The High A Lake County games has been postponed (weather).

AAA Columbus leads 1-0 in top of the 3rd..

AA Akron is still in weather delay..

Don't sell Hunter Gaddis short, he's a tremendous slouch

Ouch..

 

[Criznit]

TMac running into some trouble in the 3rd. Sound like there was a nifty double play pulled off by the Clippers involving a failed steal of home and 2nd.

Tmac gets out of it with a strikeout after falling behind 3-0.. Nice.

3IP 5H 2R/ER 1BB 3K 1HR 52 pitches 33 strikes

More Tuesday game updates:

AAA Columbus trails 6-1 in top of the 6th..

AA Akron is finally underway. No score in bottom of 1st. Zach Plesac is slicing & dicing 12 pitches, 9 strikes, 2 ks in the 1st..

Low A Lynchburg trails 13-2 in top of the 8th..
-----------------------------------

Edit:
AAA Columbus loses 7-3
Low A Lynchburg loses 13-2

AA Akron is in weather delay again; they are losing 3-0 in the top of the 3rd..
Update: AA Akron is playing again. RDucks are losing 5-0 in the bottom of the 3rd now.

 

[MadThinker88]

Just to close up the Tuesday games:

AA Akron lost 6-1 over 7 innings.

On Tuesday the CLE affiliates went 0-3 with a -20 run diff.
Let's hope things take a turn for the better on Weds..
