Harrisburg scored in each of its last five “ups” and outslugged Portland, 9-6. Josh Randall was knocked from the box with two out in the 4th after allowing two unearned runs on four hits and a walk while striking out four. It was a stoppable force against a moveable object between the two ‘pens with the Senators finally getting stops in the 8th and 9th innings, which earned Jeuris Jimenez his second AA save. Thomas Schultz was awarded the win, his second, while blowing his seventh save. Cortland Lawson led the Harrisburg 12-hit column of with two singles and two doubles, T.J. White drew four of the Sens’ eleven walks, and Kervin Pichardo whiffed four times of the 17 total on the night.

DSL NYY Bombers vs. DSL Nationals – PPD
Rain affected several games in the D.R. yesterday, postponing this one until next Wednesday.
Portland was losing to Sens 7-6 entering the 9th. They used a position player who then gave up 2 more runs. I guess they were out of pitchers. He did, however, strike 2 Sens out.

Is Meckley one major refined purchase to burst him into a 100 IP summer starter ?
Holy cow, zero walks for Sime. Took a quick peek at his game log; just the 2nd time all year he’s had zero walks in an appearance (the 1st was a 3 2/3rds outing in April).
He’s now got 9 starts in High-A as a 19 yr old with stats that have more than earned a promotion from other guys … could he be moved up before season’s end? He’s given up 2 hits in his last 10 innings. SSS but … development means putting a player at a level that challenges him, and even with his walk rate, High-A isn’t challenging him.

Let’s see Luis next spring
What a difference a year makes for some
Todd I’m sure Delino Senior grinning at hummm baby , Sime Jr numbers thinking bring him up !
That Senators bullpen has logged its workload .
Craig Yoho ( IU Hoosiers
) traded with ole Nats drafted to CLE
Craig probably worked with the pitching instructor now in Nat’s chain .
Sime and Perales both shove, a couple of teenagers homer, and the teams run the table (aided by a DSL rainout). Pretty good day for the org.
Four observations from the Wings last night. 1) Glasser missed grand slam by a few ft as his double hit the wall. That inning Glasser & Franklin were both first pitch hits, Ortiz 2nd pitch and Lipscomb followed with 1st pitch hit. That was different attack than the first 2 innings so I think the coaches saw something. 2) Perales was struggling top 5th after a walk & a single. Pitching coach goes out for mound visit then Strike out, fly out & strike out. Again, coaches can make a difference. 3) Three very nice defensive plays. Pickney reaches above the wall top 6th to rob a homerun. Top 8th, Wallace makes nice play deep behind 1st base on ground ball to get the out. Finally Top 9th, Ortiz makes a great stop on hard hit ball down the line to get force at 2nd. 4) Lastly, bottom 5th. Weimer strikes out with a half swing. Riley follows with a home run. One on the 40 man and one not, but approaching the game vastly differently.
Just a note of appreciation for these in-person, in-depth reports. I always learn something I didn’t know before.
So the Wash Nats do not have a single walk off all season
God article by guy on fed baseball.
Next year . The green on the team turns into a deeper color .
A couple of possible free agent additions .
Maybe lile makes the All star team .
We are talking about the further rehabbed tall dudes on the farm .
What do we do with Phillip Glasser? The dude just hits. He’s been wildly successful at every level, even if it sometimes just takes a bit of time to adjust.
2023: 133 wRC+
2024: 139 wRC+
2025: 136 wRC+
2026: 102 and skyrocketing. Over his past 42 games, he’s hitting .383/.460/.453 and .312/.377/.372 on the season.
Yes, there’s almost no power projection here, but he has an uncanny ability to hit for average (.303 AVG in 328 MILB games), and he’s positionally flexible, best at 2B, but also capable at 3B, LF and RF.
I’d love if he could take Vivas’ roster spot. Like Glasser, Vivas is a lefty batter (who throws righty) and also has no power, or in Vivas’ case, anything in terms of offensive production. Vivas isn’t a particularly good defender either. No idea if Glasser is above average, but it’s hard to imagine he’d be much worse than Vivas’ overall package.
