DPD.

Also, two more dongs for Soler today.

You could just start a blog or something.

That feels like a lot of effort.

Maybe we should divide and conquer. Give all Desipiots access and we can all contribute when we can. We can call it: "Time To Post"

I propose "Pollyanna Pen's Everything Sunny All the Time Always Central News Agency."

Pretty nice outing so far from Daury Torrez today for Kane County. Only 1 unearned run through 3 on 2 hits and 2 Ks.  
Kid has a great fastball (though not much else.)

DPD - Torrez finished for the day with a great line. 7 IP, 4 H, 0 ER, 0 BB, 4 K. 

He's a guy to keep an eye on. Not a potential top of the rotation guy, but definitely someone who could make an impact. 

He's 21, stats on the year (including today, by my math) 
99 IP, 87 H, 31 ER, 15 BB, 56K
2.82 ERA, 1.03 WHIP

He's in line for the win today, would be the first to get to 10 wins in the Midwest League.

Schwarber just got promoted again. On his way to Daytona.

[Slaky]

Almora has 5 hits tonight and has completed the cycle.

Jesus.

Schwarber just got promoted again. On his way to Daytona.

Can I make my Vogelbach joke again?

This is awesome news. Means he could be up in 2016.

Daytona is starting to look pretty crowded though, wonder if there's a corresponding move.

OF would be Schwarber, Almora and McKinney (holy balls, three first round picks) but also Rademacher, who's been good and there's little room to move someone to infield with Vogelbach and Shoulders at 1b and DH.  

Any chance Almora to AA? Having a huge night tonight.

Whispers seem to be that Rademacher might be going up.

Excellent. He's been hitting well and they need to find out if he can be a thing.

Almora has 5 hits tonight and has completed the cycle.

Jesus.

Took him long enough (13 innings). Mark Zagunis hit for the cycle tonight in nine.

That and "Did he finally get his OBP over .300?" are your Eli Moments Of Zen.

....sadly no. Right AT .300.   .276/.300/.395/.695.

.383/.408/.723/1.131 in his last 11, though.

All kidding aside*, it's nice to see him snap that 1-for-18 slump he was in before last night.

It says a lot about the absolutely torrid stretch he's been on for most of the last month though that he's hitting .383 over his last 11 despite a 1-18 stretch.

He went 21-42 at one point before that as well.
