Justin Henry Malloy - Toledo
Connor Thomas - Memphis
Tristin English - Reno (won't come through Durham unless traded)

Thanks. Will look for our guys.

Both those teams used to come through Durham but now they don't play in that division any more. Too bad. Still play Gwinnett but mostly southern teams now replaced the mid Atlantic teams. I try to find former Jackets at the games.

Managed to get out to my local Low A (Fredericksburg Nationals) game tonight.

Charleston RiverDogs in town to face the FredNats. Chandler Simpson put on his "fast person" show!! He leads the Carolina League in SBs with 36 in 46 games played. Rays have him in center field.

He was 2 for 4 on the night (no replay... might have been 3 for 4 on a close play at 1st that was called an out). One hit was an infield single. 2 runs scored and a stolen base... on a pretty bad 'jump' ... dude is so fast & can make up for that kind of mistake. Really impacts the 'action' with the new rules re pick off attempts and larger bases. Fun to watch.

Marquis Grissom (FredNats) recorded his 1st professional save with 1IP (0Runs, 1 hit, 1K). He began season on the IL. Showing improvement (statistically) after 6-ish appearances so far this season.

Fun night of baseball.
GO JACKETS!!

SNY's podcast caught up with KP in their latest episode. For those who don't want to listen to the entire podcast, KP joins at about 28:50. Although some Braves fans may relish the disgust and disappointment that the podcasters express over the Mets futility so far this season...
