Nice line for Adonis Medina today...

7IP 4 hits 1 run 2 walks and 5 k's

Game tied 1-1

[Austinfan]

Martin is awful in Reading, don't care if he was a 5th rd pick, I'd think about promoting Listi and see if his hit tool is for real. Because he's too old for A+ and simply outmatching those younger pitchers.

[kmc1019]

Medina's last start was also a gem, prompting comparison to imminent #1 overall pick Casey Mize.

Like most of Phils' prospects, he had a truly forgettable April.

In the spirit of optimism, I'm evaluating players performance by the period from May 1st forward.

That's fine, it's how good they become by the end of the season that counts, not the annual stats.

Haseley 0/5 again. Not many good stories among the top prospects these days. I might have gotten used to how good it was in 2016 and 2017.

Haseley 0/5 again. Not many good stories among the top prospects these days. I might have gotten used to how good it was in 2016 and 2017.

If Bill Conlin was still alive, not in disgrace and still writing, he would probably calling Moniak and Haseley "the Bust Brothers", a play on Oakland's "Bash Brothers" with Canseco and McGwire in the late '80's.

[LoneStarPhan]

Farm goes 3-0 tonight so something good was happening.
