Rochester Red Wings (15-27, 5th, 14½ GB, Northeast Div. AAA East)
The Red Wings remain home after a 1-5 stretch against the Bisons. However, Syracuse’s losing streak has reached 12, enabling Rochester to remain in fifth place.
Harrisburg Senators (14-27, 6th, 13½ GB, Southwest Div. AA Northeast)
Harrisburg heads out on the road for the first of two trips to Altoona. The team remains dead last in hitting, though it’s edging towards .200 as a team, while the pitching remains second-best in the league at 3.56 ERA.
Wilmington Blue Rocks (21-19, 3rd, 3½ GB, North Division, High-A East)
The Blue Rocks split against the Cyclones to remain, as it has been for quite a while now, two games over .500. This week they visit the Renegades in Hudson Valley, the first of three trips to their divisional foe.
Fredericksburg Nationals (13-29, 4th, 13GB, North Division, Low-A East)
Fredericksburg remains in last place and with the worst hitting, but the pitching has improved to 11th place at an ERA of 5.31, down from 7.63 a month ago. This week they travel to Salisbury, Md. to face first-place Delmarva.
A pretty damning overview of the farm system. A collective .381 winning percentage… with three teams on pace to each be the worst MILB team since 2016.
The 2021 draft can’t come soon enough…
During which we will take yet-yet-yet another pitcher . . .
Drew Mendoza has been sent from Double-A to High-A Wilmington and Kyle Marinconz promoted to Double-A Harrisburg from High-A Wilmington.
Marinconz over Jake Alu? Do the Nationals even believe in merit based promotions anymore?
Hence the syntax: reassigned.
No gust in Agustin projectory as he received pink slip with several other farm hands
