If you have been looking forward to Portland's Field of Dreams promotion, be there Friday night! Hurricane Lee forcing them to move the festivities up by a day so no one gets killed by windblown cornstalks.

A bunch of dead ballplayers in the cornstalks would be true to the source material, though. In terms of looking the part, Michael Olmsted continues to be the standard by which all others will be measured:  |

Commentary in the Greenville broadcast that after Alejandro Osuna struck out to end the top of the 5th he had to be held back while expressing his extreme displeasure with someone in Greenville's dugout (perhaps but not necessarily Monegro). I love his enthusiasm and his expressive reactions to getting outs but I do wonder a bit if it's going to get him into trouble as he moves up levels.

He’s not yelling at hitters like a certain Blue Jays pitcher, he’s enjoying himself. It’s the equivalent of hitters flipping bats lol |

Pitching Ninja tweets out “K struts” all the time, it’s a non-issue. Healthy way of releasing competitive energy.

I don't disagree, fundamentally, but I do think doing it in the majors is a different situation.

Teel & Anthony both with OPS's over 1.000 to start their Portland careers. SSS, obviously, but given how many players struggle on first exposure to AA, good to see. (Also, I assume some prospects will be dealt for pitching this off-season, but Anthony's off the table, right?)

Rafaela, Anthony, Teel all with 1.000+ OPS. SSS yes but there has also historically been some players the hit better the higher they go. A rough guess is that the higher you go, the less erratic the pitchers you face are.

I should think that the most off the table would be Teel because catcher.... I also don't expect the Sox to need to trade major prospects for major pitching beacuse, for the first time recently, there are no spending restraints. |

Enjoy yourself young man! In the Teel interview when asked about catching different pitchers across the levels, he only mentioned Yordanny by name. |
