Quick and dirty version of today's minor league games here. Let's celebrate Rincon-mania. 2nd HR in 2 days. Crawford also 3-4 today with a BB.

A little video of Drew Baker here from last night. He has been dominant the last month or two (hidden a bit by bad BABIP luck). Since June 15th he has 19.2 IP, 19 H, 8 BB, 34 K, 2.75 ERA, .409 BABIP.

He'll move quickly next year (as in maybe challenge for a major league spot in the second half of 2023) if he keeps this up.

Rojas also with 3 hits (3/3) and 2 SB, but a rare CS, too.

Maybe he is getting too aggressive. One of his SBs was on a pickoff too.

Andy, if that's the guy that picked him off it's understandable...the move they showed is a balk--his plant foot goes forward and toward 3B when he makes that jump-turn. Should be called; would be called in college ball.
