Will Stewart is dominating today...

8IP 3 hits 0 runs 0 walks and 9 K's

ERA down to 1.25

[allentown]

It's been a real positive to see one of our later round H.S. draftee pitcher take a big step forward this year. The key is a greatly reduced walk rate

[Philsmania]

Midseason promotion to CLW for Stewart?

[bigegypt0417]

completed the shutout and struck out 10.

[kikutaro]

Stewart ended up with a game score of 98. I wonder if that is the highest game score recorded this season in the minors.

[andyb]

Midseason promotion to CLW for Stewart?

Potentially. I think they see him as a better prospect than Fanti, though he also could be on a seasons inning limit of like 100 total innings. Already up to 58.2 and is near his total last year (60.1).

[kikutaro]

The milb.com headline says his name is Will Smith instead of Will Stewart!

[bigegypt0417]

Only 4 balls left the infield according to Winkleman...

[fish]

After watching Grullon’s last 3 homers, he’s been bombing the ball to the opposite field- pretty impressive.

[schooldoc]

Third hit of the day for Mickey Moniak. Showing signs?

[teabag259]

Fingers are crossed.

[kikutaro]

I think I'll have to increase the update interval to 20 minutes, I seem to have hit the limit on daily OP edits with 20.

[bigegypt0417]

Grullon with a HR

[kmc1019]

Break up the Phillies' farm, too many dominant starts from lefty starters for one day!

Irvin, Romero and Stewart.

[Squire]

Yeah....today was a pretty dang good day

[Squire]

I think Grullon is a top 10 prospect for us right now. Easily

[julio]

I think I'll have to increase the update interval to 20 minutes, I seem to have hit the limit on daily OP edits with 20.

I just bumped up the rate limit on daily edits per poster; let me know if this resolves your issue (or let me know an estimate of how many daily edits you think you might need - I can set the daily limit to pretty much any integer, I think).

[kikutaro]

Thanks julio! I was doing 4 per hour, so assuming that there are games in the morning, and games in the afternoon, I would probably need no more than about 30 if the games are all spread out. To be on the safe side, maybe 40 would be a good limit?

Also, you had some good suggestions for the MLB thread, if you have any for the minors thread as well, I would be happy to try them out.

[LoneStarPhan]

Irvin went 8.2 scoreless innings. A two out single followed by a walk in the ninth lead to Rios coming in to get the final out.

Cozzens hit home run #10.
