5/23/15 MINOR LEAGUE THREAD SATURDAY

[Braves1976]

Mississippi (23-18) @ Jacksonville, 7:35

SP: J. Reyes (4-2).

Did anyone besides me have a Jo-Jo Reyes flashback seeing "J. Reyes" starting for Mississippi? I know he isn't Jo-Jo, it's just seeing his name listed that way as starter gave me a Jo-Jo flashback. Maybe it's just me though.

PS: Jo-Jo is only 30 and is now pitching in the Mexican league.

I was at the GWI game tonight in Columbus. Busy patrolling a couple toddlers, so not a ton of insights. The highest I saw Banuelos hit on the stadium gun was 92, but the range was more around 89-91. Seemed to be in control early, but the baserunners piled up on him in the 5th. Was really looking forward to seeing some Peraza magic, but the highlight was him taking a walk.

Well, at least you got to see a win even if you were kinda busy patrolling the little ones.

Yeah, I was pumped to see Banuelos, as it seems like I'm usually only seeing the roster-filler SPs when they come to Columbus. We got through 6 innings with the kids, which is a minor coup. Last year, I think we left after the 4th.

Cool, sounds like y'all are making progress staying longer this time.

He's progressing. The expected power hasn't come yet, but the patience is there. I think when he gets in a groove and his confidence goes up, his numbers will sky rocket.

He's selective, but gets himself into too many pitchers counts. His SO's aren't of the flailing kind as he's very selective. He needs to be more aggressive in the zone.
