Memphis at Nashville: Austin Gomber
Springfield vs. Tulsa: Ryan Helsley
Palm Beach vs. St. Lucie: Evan Kruczynski
Peoria vs. South Bend: Zach PrendergastMujica is playing pretty great for Memphis this year. I’d love to see him in STL sometime this year.
Let them eat cake!

Worth noting that Carson Kelly has been replaced by Steven Baron in the Memphis starting lineup tonight. #STLCards

The #STLCards system was 1-3 on Saturday. Our Player of the Day is OF Randy Arozarena, with grand slam and 2-for-4 with 5 RBi overall in @Sgf_Cardinals' win. Memphis’ slump continues and a Tony La Russa appearance did not translate into a Peoria win. https://t.co/S240I0T3q3 pic.twitter.com/4aKanJetr5

I know Springfield scored 15 runs, but there also 30 strikeouts between both teams. I hate this trend.
I am guessing you saw the stat, C27, but if I recall correctly, April was the first month in MLB history in which there were more strikeouts than hits. It only stands to reason that the minors will see the same thing.
I’m not sold on all these “new” ways of going about things. Or new strategies about managing. Not sure yet how bad statistics are to baseball. There are fundamentals, maybe different tweaks, like hitters. Craig Counsil, Tony Bautista had outrageous ways of starting their swings but when you stop their swings frame by frame same fundamentals as everyone. Home runs up, strikeouts up, productive outs gone, averages dropping. If I was in the minor leagues I would see that I only have a chance right now to be a big leaguer if I put the ball over the wall 25 times a year. I get that aspect. But is this new way of things producing championships? I’m not sure. The Astros hit more homeruns than any other team last year but they also had highest batting avg as a team. Solid pitching. Solid defense. And avoided injuries. I guess time will tell. Thoughts??
