Anything new on C.J. Edwards? It's been about three months since he last took the mound.

 

He still in rehab in Arizona. According to his twitter, no pain in shoulder and throwing freely.

Ho hum. HR Bryant.

My old man's at the game. He went last night too.

Ho hum. HR Bryant.

Prior to that it felt like he was going through a mini slump.

His July OPS is under 1.000 (barely, now at .997).  His Iowa OPS (1.112) is still almost the same as his Tennessee OPS (1.160).

Like I said, slumping.

Bring him.

Didn't the FO say they aren't bringing Bryant up this year?

 

How high does his OPS have to climb before they backtrack?

That would be some kind of record or something  :thumbsup:

Pitchers lose themselves in his eyes.

Arodys Vizcaino is shitting the bed in Iowa.

 

Jorge Soler is catching up to lost time in a big way - 2-4, HR, 2 RBI, BB today. 

 

Russell has his first hits as a Smokie. He went 2-5 today. Hopefully that monkey is now off his back.

[funkster]

I wonder if Soler could be with the big club next year.

[Kid]

I wonder if Soler could be with the big club next year.

 

Probably not out of Spring Training, but if he stays healthy and plays well, there's probably a good chance.  Free agency isn't really a consideration for him as he's signed through 2020 regardless of when he gets called up, so I assume they'll call him up as soon as they think he's ready.

Gotta love this stat (among many others) from the left-handed hitting Schwarber:

 

In K.C.

vs. left: .364

vs. right: 364
