Probably Cruz in Salem today I am sure it would already exist on the site somewhere but Cruz made me think of Perales. I know Perales was injured last year but he seemed to have a lot of potential and just curious if there is any word about his health and development? I could ask the same about Mata and Ward. |

I think the fellas mentioned Perales in the last podcast but I don't remember exactly what they said. The podcast page link is up at the top right of this page.

I gotta say that Lugo may have been the last guy I expected to be the hottest player in the system a week in.
Maybe he got some one-on-one with Uncle Carlos this off-season.

So, one thing to remember is that with the new schedule from 2021, players below AAA have faced 1 team in 1 park for 6 of 9 games at this point. That's going to potentially skew numbers.
Asheville is extremely hitter friendly, and the Harrisburg lineup Portland faced last week punchless. It's not surprising that Greenville hitters and Portland pitchers had terrific weeks last week. Now, for opposing team metrics, there's a bit of a chicken-egg issue - does Harrisburg look bad because they are, or because they had to face Portland?
So the point is, we need to wait and see. The thing to watch is for how much of last week was real and how much was environment or opponent based.

That Dearden/Granberg/Howlett outfield Portland is running out tonight is... something.

Portland broadcast not hooked up to the radar gun, but the announcer said Groome is at 94

Really rough outing for Groome. Didn’t make it out of the first. Just absolutely no command today.

Really rough outing for Groome. Didn’t make it out of the first. Just absolutely no command today. He looked out of sorts with his bottom half. He started the first batter off with his left leg swinging a bit over his right as he landed, but he noticeably changed after the first batter to landing it sort of laying off to his left. Over the inning he felt uncomfortable and inconsistent with it. |

Kind of a curious hook IMO. I thought his pitches were mostly competitive despite the results. Before his last pitch he stepped off the rubber three times, which I guess carries the same penalty as a balk now. It's cold and windy. I guess he felt uncomfortable out there and they wanted to save him from a day he's gonna feel real bad about.

Spacke looked pretty good in relief. 7ks in 3.2 with only 1 hit allowed so far.

Lol Mayer given a very charitable "hit" in his first AB. Sharp grounder bobbled by 3b.

Greenville announcers just said Liu hit 97 on the gun.

Holy crap something is wrong with the color contrast for the primary Greenville camera.

Liu with 7 strikeouts and 16 swinging strikes through 3 innings (38 pitches).

Liu has struck out 6 straight, 97 again on that last fastball. First time getting an extended watch it's fun to see.

Holy crap something is wrong with the color contrast for the primary Greenville camera. It's the first time they had it working this year after the people that installed their pitch clock stole their wiring. (no joke). The frame rate needs to be fixed, the camera is actually an upgrade from last year, which is nice. |

Liu with 7 strikeouts and 16 swinging strikes through 3 innings (38 pitches). Liu probably done for the day: 5IP, 2H, 0ER, 1BB, 9K (75 pitches, 55 strikes, 21 swinging strikes) |

Blaze came in with a 54% ground ball rate, and he's hit it on ground two of three tonight. On the bright side, he's striking out 17.5% in a league that strikes out 29% of the time.

The frame rate needs to be fixed, the camera is actually an upgrade from last year, which is nice. I had to turn it off, it was actually making me dizzy and disoriented to watch, with the color saturation and the frames dropping. It looked like it was going to be better though with the angle and the graphics they had, hopeful it'll come together later in the season! Between that apparent fiasco and the tough to follow Salem broadcast, rough night to follow the single A squads. Funny story though - unless you're the one who's gotta deal with the aftermath. |

Frank German had another great performance in bullpen with 3K.
