MOVES:

MISSISSIPPI: Kinman goes onto DL

CAROLINA: Minter promoted from Rome

Minter promoted to Carolina.

Minter promoted to Carolina.

Kid absolutely should be fast-tracked if he is healthy. Could wind up being one of the steals of that draft.

I hope he's ultimately allowed the chance to start, though.

[KB21]

I hope he's ultimately allowed the chance to start, though.

I'm curious to see if they stretch him out in Carolina. Outside of Povse, Carolina doesn't have much in the rotation.

[bravesfanforlife88]

Swanson with a HR Mississippi up 1-0

[CrimsonCowboy]

I'm at the M-Braves game here in Mobile. Swanson just hit an absolute no doubter over the LF wall. It was a laser

When he is in Gwinnett I'll have to go to a few games

[CrimsonCowboy]

Sharp single for Swanson in his second at bat

Hopefully he gets hot again

[CrimsonCowboy]

Thurman was not sharp. Doesn't get out of the 4th. Baserunners a plenty.

[devilsbballfan]

Fried bounced back from his last couple starts, 5 IP 1 H 1 R (0 ER) 4 BB 4 K

Lucas Herbert's bat may be starting to adjust to Low-A as an 19 year old, 7 game hitting streak

[cajunrevenge]

I havent seen this comp thrown around for Swanson before but I think he is our Derek Jeter. As much as it pains me to say that.

I've heard a few people give him that comparison. Let's hope they're right

Herbert has had a pretty solid May after a miserable April.

[CrimsonCowboy]

As mentioned earlier, I was at the Mississippi/Mobile game tonight. Some observations:

Dansby Swanson: Obviously, the guy I wanted to see the most. 2-4, with the home run and a sharp single. Also made two good plays in the field. Liked what I saw

Matt Lipka: Nothing remarkable at the plate. Almost played a fly ball deep into center field into an inside the park home run. Did start a great relay to get the runner out by a good distance at the plate.

Dian Toscano: Had a walk, but nothing of note from him.

Andrew Thurman: Didn't look real good. Command was just off and didn't make it out of the fourth. Amazing he didn't allow a run before the fourth, thanks in good part to catcher Steve Rodriguez. He threw out would be base stealers in the second and third innings.

I'm planning on going to two more in the series. Not sure about tomorrow night. Weather forecast looks iffy.

That would be amazing.

The best thing I like about Swanson? 38 BB to 34 K's in his minors career so far.

There will come a point where teams will quit pitching around him. That has clearly been the case more than once this year. With reason, I suppose.

[KB21]

I just hope they resist pushing Swanson up to Atlanta at any point this year. Albies as well. Wait till May 1 next year to put them in Atlanta.

May 1 is way too late. Swanson should and will be the opening SOMETHING in Atlanta. Albies could as well, but he is so dang young.
