Hope all is well with you, too. I couldn’t miss Opening Day. Hope to be on here more as the season goes along.
Gorman batting third in what will be his Double-A debut tonight. Delvin leading off for Springfield. Baker at cleanup and Herrera hitting fifth in what should be a pretty potent Springfield lineup. Will be fun to follow over the next few months.
Big news today in Minor League Baseball:
Breaking: Minor League Baseball President Pat O’Conner to retire after 2020 season. O’Conner spent 28 years with MiLB office, 38 years working in pro ball. The 11th MiLB prez, O’Conner’s office might be eliminated during ongoing negotiations between MLB and MiLB.

Here is Rob Rains’ Cardinals top 20 prospects:
An interesting set of rankings. He has Masyn Winn ahead of Jordan Walker. Winn has a fun profile as a two-way player, but Walker is more of a sure bet to reach his ceiling than Winn. Jake Burns and Franklin Soto in his top 20. Probably too premature to insert Edwin Nunez into the top 10 at this stage of his career. Although, I do like his ranking of Mateo Gil at No. 20.
And Dylan Carlson continues to get BABIP’d. A look at his exit velocity today:
93.8 mph first at-bat off Keuchel (single)
108.3 mph second at-bat off Keuchel (lineout)
75.4 mph third at-bat off Cordero (lineout)
96.6 mph fourth at-bat off Foster (flyout to the warning track)
A sign of good things to come, though.
Silver lining of today’s game: Knizner’s improvement defensively and Seth Elledge asserting himself in the bullpen. Five strikeouts over 2 1/3 scoreless innings. He could be an intriguing option in the sixth or seventh to help bridge the gap down the stretch.
This is the 10th time a team has hit 4 straight home runs in a game.
The White Sox have done it once before: on Aug. 14, 2008.
Those were hit by: Jim Thome, Paul Konerko, Alexei Ramirez, Juan Uribe

1-2-3 first inning for Woodford in his debut. Only needed 10 pitches. Fastball consistently at 93-94, threw his curveball for strikes and showed a nice cutter, which registers as a slider on Gameday. Worth noting he abandoned the slider after the 2018 season.
Jake Woodford is set to make his ML debut. He was TCN’s No. 8 prospect heading into 2020:

Sources: MLB is facilitating an Alternate Site video/data sharing system for clubs, with opt-in to share/receive. Will increase odds of trades leading up to the August 31st trade deadline, as Alternate Sites were a black box of information.

Even though there are no games or even workouts in StL, the alternate site camp in Springfield is carrying on. Here’s a little snippet via Ivan Herrera working on his receiving:

A brief appearance by Jose Oquendo, too.
To answer your Flaherty question:
Daniel Ponce de Leon starts for the #stlcards tomorrow. Flaherty is healthy – team wants to be cautious with his long layoff. Flaherty Sunday or Monday, Hudson Monday or Sunday, KK Tuesday.

Here’s a link to Mo’s full interview with the StL media from last night: https://twitter.com/stlsportspage/status/1290845666109984769?s=21
Mo told the media on Zoom last night that the Cardinals were not able to IL Ravelo because doing so would’ve dropped the team below a roster minimum. Plan is to do so this week when recalls occur.
Exit velocity: 107 mph
