Chris Paddack and the Lake Elsinore Storm rotation have become must-watch viewing almost every night, the TinCaps weathered a rough week offensively, and the Padres began making some promotions through the system. All of it, as always was covered in our Daily Farm Reports.
Here’s what else was going on:
On-Site Coverage
David Jay was onsite in San Antonio for their four-game series against Frisco. In addition to seeing lots of zany animal antics, he also saw some quality pitching from Logan Allen, a strong Double-A debut from Lake Bachar, the end of a 10-game winning streak and a rough outing from Cal Quantrill. We’ll have plenty of news and notes from the visit up on the site in the next week.
Player Profiles and Interviews
We got the last of John Conniff’s work from El Paso, including an interview with big reliever Trey Wingenter, a deep profile on Luis Urias. David also had a chance to talk with Jesse Scholtens for a profile right before the righty got his promotion from San Antonio.
Media Appearances
While it was a relatively quiet week on the airwaves for the MadFriars staff, the guys at the 5.5 Podcast opted for a guest upgrade for a second week in a row, getting Marcus Pond in for an appearance.
