Eric Hartman had 2 more hits and 2 more steals last night for Augusta in a loss. He had 2 of the 3 hits for Augusta and a run scored. Southisene had the other lone hit.
In Rome, Sinnard pitched an absolute gem: 5 IP, 8 K's, 1 BB, 2 H, 0 ER. Braunschweig stayed hot with another hit, SB, and 2 runs scored. Lodise 0-4, 2 Ks. Drake 0-3
Columbus was shutout last night. Now that McCabe has been promoted to AAA, the large dearth of talent in AA has been reduced even more. Currently the only position prospect worth even semi-monitoring in Columbus is 2024 11th round pick Pat Clohisy. He's been hot since his promotion to AA at the start of the month, but I wouldn't let this hot stretch fool you. It's mostly BA fueled as he has only 5 XBHs. But he's always had decent on base skills.
Gwinnett wins 7-1. Burkhalter with a short, but effective night. 3 IP, 4 Ks, 1 H, 1BB. As previously stated, McCabe homered in his final at bat and finished 1-4 with 2 RBIs. Bastidas also homered and finished 2-5 to raise his OPS in 8 games with the Braves to 1.118. Some impressive EVs as well. Is there a read on his defense? I see Waddell is back at SS which leads me to believe Bastidas likely isn't an option to replace Allen at any point this season, even if the bat can carry him to the majors.
