I'll be at the Erie game tonight and if necessary tomorrow too. . . I live in Richmond, so this has been a fun week or so. Caught the last three games when Erie was here last week, and Serretti was impressive. Everything he hit was loud and solid. Madden showed great stuff last week but made a few mistakes that were hit out. Hopefully he eliminates those tonight and the bats show up again.

They have another series to go... believe they have only won the semis

[CMRivdogs]

That was the Divisional series. Championship series starts Sunday

according to their Twitter account, this is the first time in their history that they have made it this far?  I like their chances in a short series, with Flores and Olsen getting starts.  Unfortunately, Madden looks like he might have hit a wall in his first full season of play.

[RatkoVarda]

oops, thanks. I think they're gonna be champions

[1984Echoes]

Parker went 3 for 4 today with a HR & a double.

Workman 2 for 4 with a HR.

Flores pitched 4 inn's, 4 hits 1 BB 5 K's, 2 ER's...

Erie lost, 9-2; final game in championship series tonight @ Somerset.

Toledo won; they play last reg season game today and then they are done.

[1984Echoes]

Erie is just throwing this game down the sewer and pissing on it...

Losing 9-0 in the 1st on 5 hits, 2 errors, etc...

[CMRivdogs]

Now down by 2 TD in the 7th. Still a good run for these guys

[RatkoVarda]

yikes! 15-0 no hit loss.

I know very little about how the international market works but I remember hearing that one of the things that hurt the Tigers the past several years was that Venezuela where they were strong in had a bit of a dry spell when it comes to premium guys but looking at MLB.com top international guys for 2023 and 2 out of the five are from Venezuela including the top guy.

For those that know more about these things namely Edman and Mark do the Tigers still have a strong presence in Venezeula and if not there are there any guys that they may be in on this year?

Terrible, but better it was him and not Harry Neale!

AFL starts today; Keith, Workman and Meadows in the lineup; that being said this team looks stacked with Lawler, Walker, Veen and others. 

[LongLiveMaroth]

Meadows takes #44 overall according to Pipeline prospect Priester deep.

 

[LongLiveMaroth]

Meadows and Dingler were in yesterdays AFL game. Meadows went 1-6 with a 2B and 2K and Dingler went 2-3 with 2BB and 2 RBI.

[RandyMarsh]

Fangraphs posted their end of the season board, Jobe is at 58, Keith 77 and Dingler just outside the top 100 at 103.

that seems less than ideal.

keeping in mind that most prospect lists are complete crap.

Yeah particularly since atleast according to them there is a big drop off after Dingler in regards to the league rankings. I believe they had Peyton Graham next but I don't think he was in the top 150.
