I'm right there with you but I temper my expectations with the fact he can't hit lefties right now so he definitely has something he needs to work on but I can't help to think that between him, Perez, Keith, and Lipcius that the poaching we did from the Dodgers is starting to bear some fruit.

Keith out for the season which we kind of already knew. Keith (right shoulder) out for Minor League season (Aug. 9) No. 11 prospect Colt Keith will not return this regular season but could be ready for the Arizona Fall League, according to vice president of player development Ryan Garko

Very cool idea by the Mets also very interesting song selection by Nimmo and McNeil.

It's easy to forget he is 22 because it feels like he has been here forever. He is a big guy so I think sometimes it takes a little more time to figure out your body. I mean to put it in context he would have been drafted either this year or the year before had he went to college. If we take out the May start in which he was getting used to the league from June 1st he has a wRC+ 128 .841 OPS with a .287 AVG and a 14.9% K rate along with an 11.2% walk rate. He isn't Carpenter level yet but he's 22 and doing that at AA. That being said it isn't all sunshine and roses. He needs to work on hitting lefties. He is hitting a .540 OPS against them which you just can't do if you want to make it to the bigs.

Afternoon game in Erie, Meadows and Cabrera with HR's so far

Nick Quintana, He is in High-A at the moment https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=quinta000nic

I'll be honest, I am under the assumption that Tork won't be "OK" until next season. I feel like he needs some time away to reset. I hope they keep him in Toledo next season until he shows he needs to be brought up or if he is lights out in spring training.

Carpenter goes 0/4 and gets called up, clearly they were just waiting for that. Graham with 3 SB already. Under the we can't have nice things column looks like Pacheco got hurt last night when someone slid into 3rd.

At least we are good at something 🤷‍♂️

Carpenter makes an appearance.

BA now with 3 Tigers in their top 100. Jobe, Flores, Jung

I was curious on how some of our hitters did over July, so here are some quick highlights. M. Sequera .266/.307/.532 C. Santana .273/.400/.424 W. Perez .322/.423/.627 D. Dingler .250/.377/.536 P. Meadows .275/.341/.438 I. Pacheco .280/.342/.414 K. Carpenter .284/.376/.554 J. Crouch .297/.372/.500

Madden looked OK stat line wise until the 5th. 4.2IP 4BB 3ER 6K

Perez still raking in Erie.

Pacheco's swing here looks real good. Not bad for a 19 year old.

Crouch with a HR as well tonight

Dingler HR Crouch HBP in the 9th and left the game. Lets hope he's OK and nothing is broken.

Another HR for Dingler

My bad!

Perez on the IL

You mean hitting .194 for July Paredes? Also no one could know that all this would happen to Meadows this year and if he comes back next year and hits 25 HR and a solid BA it'll be interesting to hear all the back peddling people will do. He could also never regain his former performance but I am willing to take the more optimistic look and see this as the outlier.
