After striking out 35.5% of the time at Danville last year, Drew Waters has it down to 19.4% this year at Rome. Huge. I'd like to see the walk rate go up from 5.8%, but that decline in K rate is a big deal.

He didn't look very comfortable at the plate early on this year. He does now. Maybe it's simply due to better results breeding confidence, but his body language and demeanor in the batter's box looks much more like a predator than prey now.

Is Acuna gonna rehab any where tonight?

The couch like the rest of us - he'll be pouting too!!!

Pache homer. He’s one extra base hit from tying the number he had last season.

Davidson with another HR. That’s 5 in a week.

I had lost all faith in Davidson, and still have very little. But if he's found something, that'd be yuuuuuugeeee.... he's still young enough.

Tucker Davidson having a fantastic start as well... good to see.

Waters extends his hit streak. Kid is good.

Umpire is squeezing already?

Sheesh.

Some real exciting performances in Rome today... great outing for Jaseel coming back!

Uh....why did Anderson only pitch two innings??

Most likely because it took him 60 pitches.

Everybody talking about Waters (who derserves it). Look out for Wilson.

JC could be a beast too. Tons of potential on that team.
