It's time again for the annual maybe "Cornelius Randolph is turning the corner" hot streak.

Batting .311 over the last couple of weeks with more walks but still striking out a good amount.

I can't wait for the Phillies/Phillies GCL DH. Intra-squad games that count...

phillychuck 2018-07-10 17:21:09 UTC #4

We got slaughtered/won a laugher in game one of the GCL match up. Zoellner, Holmes, Garcia, De La Cruz, Wingrove, and Stewart all had multi-hit games. Might be a couple I missed...

This year's GCL repeat/improvement guy might be DJ Stewart. Average is up to .372. BB % is up while the K % is down. Starting to look a little more interesting like Ben Pelletier last year. No idea what they think of his defense.

You seem to be assuming that GCL games "count." Do you assume that GCL rosters are constructed to produce winning teams? Do you assume that GCL lineups are constructed with the primary goal of winning games?

My point is only that the GCL is about player development, not winning a league title. The Phillies set rosters and lineups on the basis of what's good for the development of the most promising prospects. Given that, it really makes no difference if Phillies East is playing Phillies West, or if they're playing some Yankees' prospects.

Moreover, with the GCL, I can't even really argue that the focus on development, rather than winning, is unfair to the GCL's fans. What fans? GCL attendance is almost non-existent.

phillychuck 2018-07-10 18:28:32 UTC #7

The "count" in the sense that there are published standings and a championship series for the league. And when the Phils play the Phils both teams' records change.

There are more GCL fans on this board than there are at the games, I'll give you that!

Having fun with this...

You're right, of course - we have more GCL fans than appear at a random GCL game. But that said... are we really focused on how the GCL clubs are doing - on the "pennant race" - or on how individual prospects are performing? I think that, at bottom, even the fans here are really most interested in player development in the GCL - not in the GCL clubs' W-L records.

Well, the intrateam games really count to the players I bet. All of the coaching at your level is seeing you, not just your team. I am guessing there is a huge chance of "evaluation" people showing up at those games since they are getting double the bang for their time. Pretty sure if you are a (insert position here) and the other teams (insert same position here) has a big game you arent feeling comfortable.

As I have said in previous years, it must be surreal to play in the GCL. You're now a professional baseball player and, in the case of very high draft picks, now a millionaire but yet, you are playing in front of few fans and grandstands which, in many cases, are smaller than what some high schools have.

Alejandro Made...some bad pitches. 3IP, 8H, 11 runs! But hey, 6 K and only one walk - good peripherals!

Just saw that Haseley was promoted to Reading today. Hibbs back to Clearwater.

Hope they promote Zach Green after the AA All-Star game. He's earned it.

Philsmania 2018-07-11 02:10:02 UTC #15

Oh well, my prediction was off by two days.

You're fired!
