Matt Goodheart, the last remaining NDFA in the lineup for FCL today. Also, with Jamari Baylor promoted to Clearwater, Alexeis Azuaje getting a chance to play SS regularly. Definitely want to see more of him as he supposedly has ++ speed and has now flashed some power in both of his seasons.

I was at the Iron Pigs' game yesterday. Before I discuss player impressions, the game had a very unusual feel, the stadium was 4/5 empty (unusual for Allentown) and everything just had a "we've given up on actually trying" feel. The food was awful (rotten peanuts, over-refrigerated dipping dots (tasted of freezer burn), stale hot dog rolls, food service people who just didn't give a darn and were rude, no spirit in the crowd, and lots of players who looked like they were going through the motions. The Mets' players were just as bad, if not worse. More later, have to run now.

And a scoreless first with one hit and 2 Ks.

Looks like FCL might be playing in the Clearwater stadium today rather than the back fields.

FCL Phillies making me happy.

Alexeis Azuaje continues to be the truth.

Congrats to 3rd round pick Jordan Viars on his first professional HR, holding his own in first taste of pro ball.

How has attendance been? Things are just bad out there right now in food service. There are supply shortages of everything from food itself (one of my favorite restaurants just stopped selling homemade Rice Krispie treats because they can't get marshmallows) to to-go containers and cups. Obviously that would not excuse stale or expired food but I'm not surprised a corporate concessions company would try to squeeze their margins that way. And I'm sure the workers are not experiencing great pay or conditions right now either.

9 BBs in 21 AB also. Looks to have a pretty good batting eye for a 17-year-old.

Yeah, things are bad everywhere. Lots of little things were all "off" at the game. The grounds crew used to do a dance after grooming the infield when they came out--that was gone. No t-shirt cannon. No after-game tennis ball contest. Did not make me want to return in the fall. And I agree, this kind of thing is rampant, but there are businesses who are coping (and thriving). Our local ice-cream parlor was having supply chain issues and just invented new flavors (great ones) and started making their own cones. The kids they hire are great to all the customers and seemingly always in a good mood. The local shop-rite has gotten better and it seems to keep almost everything well-stocked, while the local Giant, which used to be a far better place to shop, is running out of everything (stuff that is overflowing at shop-rite). Local McDonalds used to have edible hamburgers, now the rolls taste like plasticizer. Local Chick-fil-A is super-crowded and the food is great. People at McDonalds are dismissive and rude, people working at Chick-fil-A could not be any nicer. My guess is good management versus bad.

On to the game--Seranthony was dominating, the AAA hitters he faced walked back to the dugout shaking their heads in disbelief. Vince V was really good, too, but got himself in trouble in the third inning by walking two banjo hitters instead of just firing fastballs at the middle of the plate when he got behind. Only Haseley and Moniak had anything "pop" off of their bats (although a couple of their well-hit balls were foul). Lots of seeing-eye hits for both teams.

That must have been a heck of a blister that he's recovered from now. :wink:

Here is the game feed for FCL:

Painter was 94-95, touching 96. A little bit behind Ben Brown but still pretty good. Pena also sitting 94. Ottenbreit 91-93 Goodheart, Azuaje, Sang, and Lee all hit 100 on exit velocity. Viars HR only 99.

Also, Ty Collins (16th round pick) was activated for FCL today so he'll probably get one of the later innings. 3 draft picks now have yet to be activated (McGowan, Valadez-Acuna, Binns).

Good to see Ben Brown with velocity after his TJ, he was one of my "sleepers."

yeah he was just officially assigned yesterday so technically his major league season could be over. but I doubt they will release him (both for insurance and out of respect. Though if 40-man space gets tight....)

(Same for Joyce, his rehab clock started 8/31).

Ugh....Andrew Baker doesn't have it today. Has walked the first 5 batters and recorded no outs.

6 batters, 6 BBs. At least he was efficient (only 27 pitches!).

Squire

Wetherbee walked another 3 right after him too (while recording 2 outs in the process). Is it the robot umps?
