Jojo Ingrassia: 5IP 4H 0ER 0BB 5K (55 pitches, 40 strikes, 9 whiffs) I think he picked a guy off at first! Pretty nice!

What Yorke is doing is extremely encouraging and it's no longer a small sample size. Also a lesson that it's never wise to discount the effect injuries have on a player and how it's always foolish to sell low.

HR for Allan Castro - he also hit one last night. And he adds another one. must of heard Clegg’s most recent comments on this weekends pod. Said, “oh ya? Watch this!”

If he keeps it up, he might boot Valdez out of his spot or is gonna be a pretty solid trade piece for the deadline.

He was healthy all of last year and this and put up OK numbers in Double-A, with this year's line particularly uninspiring. I'm not sure there's a lesson here. Maybe it's "don't underestimate the ability of a scenery change to light a fire under a guy's behind?"

Swing and other mechanical alterations due to trying to play through nagging type injuries. In any case he's crushing the ball.

![](https://i.imgflip.com/8vp1hn.jpg) Chris and Ian, realizing that they're only 12 minutes into this podcast. I still can't stop laughing over this. I nominate this post for "funniest S*** I've see on the internet this week" award

I am highly encouraged by what Nick Yorke is doing.
But 103 plate PA's isn't the sample size I'm looking for to wash away the last 2.5 years of bad to "ok" performance.
Lets see how he looks later in the summer.

If you look at Yorke's #s month to month last year he had a lot of streakiness going on. Due to him not likely to be an above average defender he is going to need to cut down on that streakiness since he's not going to really provide any value to a team with months like June/July of last year but Apr/May/Aug that's a nice slash line. I'm still bullish overall that Yorke will be a major leaguer but can he rise to a MLB regular starter on a playoff caliber team or is he more likely to settle in as a 2nd baseman who floats around to the bottom of the barrel teams?
2023 in POR Apr- .268/.350/.465 May- .295/.410/.443 June .263/.294/.411 July .226/.246/.371 Aug .310/.396/.517

I'm not sure it means much of anything, really. I remember people thinking his performance in the AFL meant he was back to his first year performance.

Lol. I know it's Asheville but I love how literally nobody moved on either of those.
