The High-A Timber Rattlers have been outscored 50-18 thru 4 home games against South Bend, but have rehabbing RHP Quinn Priester (last pitched May 1) starting this afternoon. 1B/OF Tayden Hall is quietly having a solid season (.879 OPS in 88 PAs).

I genuinely don't think it's an overreaction to say Priester looks absolutely horrible. We should have no expectations for him to be a useful MLB pitcher this year

im mostly curious to hear about velocity. his control is abysmal right now but i would think he can figure that out.

He sat 90-91 with his sinker today, cutter was 89-90, slider was 80-82, curveball was 77-78

Just got pulled. 1.1 IP, 5 H, 4 ER, 3 BB, 2 SO, 1 HBP but bases were loaded when he left. 47 pitches, 23 strikes, 24 balls.

Two positive notes from the ACL Brewers’ game:

- C Luis Corobo is healthy - first game since April 24
- 18-year old 3B Yu-Lin Liao has his first career hit

We lead the Reds 2-1 after 2 innings, with 18-year old RHP Diustin Mayorquin getting the start
