I turned it on just at the beginning of the 9 run inning and of course they pulled Patino out.
I missed seeing him.
It was great seeing Melean get his first two HR's of his pro career though.

Good chance he as "peaked out" on innings this season .... tired arm? Only 73 last year and already at 93 ... still 20 so body may not be ready to handle that load. Maybe they should give him a strategic DL for a couple of weeks and bring him back later in August.

Quote from MrPadre19 on August 2, 2018, 4:16 amHow about Jefferson Garcia?
http://www.milb.com/player/index.jsp?sid=milb&player_id=677652#/career/R/pitching/2018/ALL
In his last 5 appearances he has 22 K’s and 3 BB’s.
Yesterday he had “10” K’s in 4 innings!

Quote from MrPadre19 on August 2, 2018, 4:20 amAnd Tucupita Marcano just keeps on hitting.
In 31 games he has a .500 OBP with “46” hits!
All But 4 are singles and he’s yet to hit a HR in 80 minor league games.....but 46 hits in 31 games?
To go along with 21 BB’s and only 10 K’s!

"Cruz is a 6-foot lefty with a lower arm slot and advanced control of a 90-92 mph fastball. He also has an average curveball, which he can throw for strikes. That has largely been enough to carve up opposing hitters throughout his first two AZL starts. He works down with the fastball and the arm action is changeup friendly. He could have a mix of 50s and 55s at peak."

His BABIP is .438, which needless to say is absurd. Fun to watch him pile up the hits, but that average is gonna tumble at some point.
