In 20 games with the Mudcats, Luis Lara now has twice as many walks as he does strikeouts (16:8 walks to strikeouts). I had to do a double take when I saw that. Really exciting prospect.
Biloxi’s offense sure has trouble getting anything going considering the talent in that lineup. Chourio’s batting average is going the wrong direction and his strikeouts are up again. Blah.
Carolina’s offense went off tonight. Lara and Areinamo each with 4 hits including a homerun for Lara. A bunch of others with multiple hits including Guilarte.
These umpires are getting worse every year. Part of me thinks they are being told to widen their strike zones to speed up the game. Or maybe they’re just that bad.
He's holding his own as a 19 year old in AA but it also feels like he's teetering on the edge of really struggling. We'll see which direction he goes throughout the year.
