Can Groome & Murphy limit the long ball?
Can Liu string together another solid outing. He needs to find some consistency from start to start.

The forecast in Bradenton looks good. I will be heading to "Pirate City" to take in the game today.
DOES ANYONE HAVE THE FCL PLAYER UNIFORM NUMBERS?? I know what Niko and Marcelo look like, but I'd like to give some info on others.

I’ve heard it’s possible for a draftee to pitch some today but haven’t seen any transactions. I followed Wyatt Olds when he was at Oklahoma and his stuff can be electric, hoping to see him in action soon. |

Wyatt Olds, Jacob Webb, and Christopher Troye were added to the FCL roster today. Rocardo Cubillan was also assigned to the team from Portland. |

Me personally giving up the long ball is not as bad if you limit walks and tend to give up solo shots. Try to limit who else is on base. Also good defense to cut down on errors but everyone knows this.

Did we bring Walden back?
Also Mayer and Hickey have hits and the opposing team is too scared to pitch to Niko

I'm assuming the "E" in the FCL box score is for error, correct? If so, Mayer had three today

I'm assuming the "E" in the FCL box score is for error, correct? If so, Mayer had three today I was at the game and have a few thoughts. First it was dam HOT! Second, Pirate City is an OK set-up but it is difficult to get photos because of the fencing and no entering areas. It is a field with restrictions and not a stadium. I had to remember how Derek Jeter started with 40+ errors in his pro debut. Mayer has so much room for physical development and he is 18. So, I need to take all of that into account. To me, he wasn't at his best today. He made one outstanding play while the infield was in by snaring a bullet in the hole between 3rd and short with a dive and then having the know-how to throw to 3rd for an out in a close play. Otherwise, not a good day in the field! At bat, he started with a sharply hit grounder up the middle for a hit. The other times he made contact, they were grounders. He did not put the ball in the air. I thought his bat speed looked real good, but he was a little too passive. And one more thing, he can easily add 20+ pounds. He is one tall dude. I got to the field 40-minutes early and watched them do "infield". That was quite impressive. Bonaci was very athletic. Throws were crisp and on site. Marcelo looked good, but I was surprisingly impressed with Nico at first-base. He looked quite good and could become an above average fielder there. His throws and footwork were pretty smooth! Ugueto in left is just 18 and has a really good athletic body and he made some nice plays in left. Very athletic and I could see him being someone to watch. I liked what I saw of Bonaci as he is real twitchy and very confident. He made several acrobatic plays. He showed his speed also. I have been to many GCL games over the last 15 years, and I may be too optimistic, but I thought there was a higher amount of talent on the field for us than most other years. Oh, in case I didn't say it, it was dam hot!! |

Thanks for that, Steve. I'm thinking this might be the best crop of under 20 year old talent the Red Sox have ever had. Maybe Tony C by himself could've stood up to this group.

It’s too bad the lower levels don’t have video available. |

The Blaze and McDonough shutdowns seem like something everybody is afraid to discuss. I get the sense the mods may know, but it is not something that should be discussed. I know speculation is dangerous, but when it involves our hottest hitting prospects in Blaze who was ripping the ball, but now mysteriously gets splinters for two weeks, some inquiring minds want to know. Wide range of possibilities here, but I think its fair to rule out simultaneous injuries. My strong money is on some COVID protocol violation that has either resulted in internal punishment, or some positive tests that are keeping them off the field. Cant be the team wanting to rest them, doubt it is roster space...anyone else?

It’s too bad the lower levels don’t have video available. At Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota it is easy to walk over behind the plate and ask about mph, but this set-up was impossible. Both guys that you all had interest in looked good, threw strikes, and repeated their deliveries...but no idea what velo was. A FCL (GCL) game is very different. Lots of wildness, pass balls, and balls in the dirt. Was hoping to see one of the several young starters we all have interest in, but no luck. Loved the crispness of the infield and outfield before the game, but was not quite the same during the game. Looking forward to seeing Mayer and company on a better day. At least they played....Lol! |
