Valenzuela is hitting the ball

[sturg33]

Good outings by Anderson and Sims.

I think I'd go ahead and start the transformation of Sims and Sanchez for future bullpen roles

[bravesfanMatt]

Rome with the 4 game sweep. 37 total strikeouts today.

Sims was great today. I wouldn't
Move him just yet. He did run out of gas quickly.

Rome with the 4 game sweep. 37 total strikeouts today.

37 seems high for 1 game haha

Rome K'd 20 times. WV K'd 17

Ahhh... thought you were saying Rome pitchers had that many. Carry on...

This Mississippi game is frustrating. So many chances to
Get a run across.

Sounds like they're ready for Atlanta

Clutch. Gave up go ahead run in top of 13. Then Travis with a single. Joey double. Curcio game winner. Sweet.

I am starting to get a bit excited about Alex Jackson. He is hitting the crap out of the ball so far. Hopefully he can get the rust off catching defensively over time because he has been pretty rough so far. I am crossing my fingers that Jackson hits his way up to AA before the year is out.

It's early. But if he hits it won't matter if he can't catch

I think he has only caught one game so far, and the reviews defensively weren't great from Ben Badler.

[bravesfanMatt]

It is sad how addicted I am to MiLB right now. Listening and watching these guys has been supremely enjoyable. The games I have caught have had superb pitching. Especially from starters.

[CJ9]

Badler really impressed by Ricardo Sanchez today: https://twitter.com/benbadler/status/851203015335956480

Funny because Sanchez had the worst start out of our four minor league teams today.

[50PoundHead]

Jacksonville runs into the Curse of the Curcio. Keith goes 5/6 with 3 XBH and drives in the winning pair with a single in the bottom of the 13th with the Braves down 1.

[Managuarantano's Volunteers]

If he hits like crazy he could still go in OF

[thethe]

It's still high A but Alex Jackson might be the front runner for most promising start for the minor leagues.

[bravesfanMatt]

Clouse with a rough start to season. Not ready for him to turn into a pumpkin.
