Jeff Frazier was 0-3 with a walk. Who is Jeff Frazier? Exactly.
Nobody did much of anything but Watkins was 1-3 with a BB. Starting 2B in 2014!
Daytona
Yet another rain out
Pin Chieh Chen went 2-4 and stole his 30th base of the year. Despite some decent OBP and speed skills it hard to see much of a future for this guy as he is just too small to hit with any authority. Yao Lin Wang continues to make his case for our best SP prospect as he struck out 7 in 6.1 IP while giving up a pair of runs. Wang continues to average more than a K per IP.
Tayler Scott continues to have a sparkling ERA down in Boise and after last nights 5 IP 1 ER performance it stands at 1.88. The problem is that he isn't striking anybody out while doing so and now has 39 K's in 62.1 IP. I haven't seen any reports as to what he throws so its hard to make too much of this just yet but its something to keep an eye on. Marco Hernandez was 1-3 with a BB.

How has Daytona had so many rain outs? Do the guys calling the game not know what Florida weather is like?
I was just in Florida this past weekend (an hour north of Daytona) and everday around 1 it rained. Very hard. With lightning and shit. But within 15-30 minutes it was gone and the sky was blue. That’s Florida weather though. Humid and hot as shit with the occasional 30 minute sunshower.
I guess they probably don’t care though since it is A-ball.

Hey did you guys see that the Astros hired Mike Quade to be their interim manager? After reviewing his Dominican birth certificate, it turns out his real name is Tony DeFrancesco.

Don’t look now, but Rizzo is doing some serious cooling off.

What’s up with the Angels? It seems like every move they make plays out horribly.

As someone once said, he’s a force of nature. Specifically, I think it’s the one that makes you involuntarily roll your eyes.

Looks like he’s having trouble getting his arm over his head. He must be injured.

Is there somewhere where I can send money to NOT have Will go back on twitter? That seems way more fair, and would probably raise more money.
