9/10 SAT MINORS PLAYOFFS: SWEEP! 3-FOR-3!

Good business. Look at their locations. Not a turkey among them (not counting Carolina). Stadium are all first-rate as well.

Better control, fewer headaches, and they make money. That's a trifecta of reasons.

Makes sense to have it all under one roof. Might be something other teams go toward in the future.

What a game for Fried. Come on pen hold this

11:1 K:BB ratio is insane

So Rome, Mississippi, and Gwinnett are all winning with a chance to advance to the championship series tonight? Is that right?

So much for the minor league talent not showing up in wins...

 

[UNCBlue012]

Being clutch and winning in the playoffs is where true talent shines and all of ours has. Fried is so awesome

Yes!

In an elimination game, Fried could not have done more. Just awesome

 

[bravesfanMatt]

Pop the sparkling cider boys. Rome is going to the championship round.

Soroka, Allard and Fried with great games. Bring on the phollies. I assume touki gets the first game.

When will it be? Could be Soroka again. If it's not tomorrow, he'll be going on at least full rest. I do think Touki will probably go Game 2, though.

Monday iirc

Touki may be in the bullpen. He worked two innings in game one, striking out all six. Don't need a full rotation at this point.

Yeah, I would guess Soroka, then Touki, then Allard. Sanchez may get a shot, too.

He worked 1 inning. The 2 was a typo at first.

 

[rico43]

Dylan Moore to Mississippi, replacing Albies

Castro to Atlanta

Mateo to Gwinnett

 

[rico43]

Roney nails down win for Gwinnett. Two to the finals!

Really interesting question about who has the "best system" IMO. Sure the other top-heavy systems have more Top 100 prospects, but does that really make them "better"? Who else has three teams (one at each level) still alive???

Not meant to be a smartass question at all - I have no clue. Is the "Dayton-way" of having winners at each level more important??? If it is, it's awfully tough to argue against the way Coppy & Company are going about things.

 

[smootness]

I don't think our strategy is to have winners at every level, that was just a byproduct of having such a ridiculously deep system.

As for the question, I wouldn't give up our farm system for anybody's right now. I know a couple others have more guys who are close to ready with really high ceilings, but I think our system overall has the most guys with very high ceilings...ours are just younger and further away. That's why we don't have as many top 100 guys right now, even though we probably will have at least 6.

One minor gripe about the playoffs thus far: there's no need to throw a pitcher (Clouse) out there 3 games in a row, especially when he already played a complete college season followed by his Pro debut.

Technically 3 in 4 days though, and he only faced 5 total batters.
