Dylan Jordan’s day is done. Five scoreless innings, five Ks, only two hits surrendered, one walk. Lots of whiffs. Only a couple well-struck balls, warning track flies on a hot day.
Kid hasn’t surrendered more that three hits in any of his first six starts appearances with Inland Empire. ERA down to 1.05.
TGA isn’t pitching today. He last pitched Wednesday night – a bit of a rough outing, five walks, wild pitch, lot of on base traffic, more balls than strikes.
The 66ers game is really fun right now. Dylan Jordan really has his command and movement working today – only two innings in, but he’s Ked four, and soooo many whiffs. He completely owned Ethan Holliday.
The 66ers made the playoffs this week based on their second half record. (Their first half is something best forgotten.) Now they really seem to have it all working, and could be a formidable opponent, given 3-4 really competitive starters and 5-6 hitters in the lineup who can spray singles all over the field, producing traffic every inning.
Dylan Jordan just struck out Holliday swinging for the second time in as many tries.
Fresno was more effective this inning – single, walk, some well-struck balls – but Jordan still left the runner at third with the Holliday K. 4-0 66ers.
I think being on a winning team can float all boats and catalyze other teammates. I’m less sure what dropping a promising prospect on a losing team can do – some will push through it regardless – but I don’t think it’s a positive.
In the 66ers case, the first half losing followed from the lack of talent in the lineup and the rotation – a fair number of holdovers from last year’s awful team. The winning really has come from the roster refresh from the winning ACL team, Raudi Rodriguez’s summer hot streak, and complementary contributions from recent draftees (none of them stars, but solid on-base ability keeping the lineup turning over).
officially, finally, better than last year
Great pitching this series.
2 for 5, 2 doubles. Promising!
Most promising aspect was swinging and making contact – no Ks.

And TGA?

Whuh happen?
Ward hit the out of town scoreboard head on, hit somewhere below an eye.
The same eye that got beaned?
Ouch!
I hope Ward is okay
Why is Garcia in and not Detmers?
Great game for Trioit.
You don’t get to say that very often.
Great maybe with lowered expectations. First double was a pop fly to an open part of the field that dropped. Second double was vintage Trout though.
Trout! A doubles machine!
Trouty 💙
Mike Trout double. Grab the fainting couch!
An old time Trout double!
Trade him while he’s at the peak of his current value.
Go Halos!
This has to be the best start of Soriano’s career, right?
Offer him 6 years, $100 milly in the offseason and pray he accepts it.
we should get 3 runs here to make it safer
14 starts this year with 0 or 1 earned runs
I’m starting to like Peraza a bit. He does have some baseball skills.
Former top prospect pedigree and a defensive wizard. Fix his bat and we got something, maybe
Correa finally doesn’t make the good play. Yay!!!

Do you think a minor league team that’s always losing can impact the growth of some top prospects?

Trout hit a ball to the OF. Bring out the parade to celebrate.
I rewound to watch the Peraza home run – Gubi basically called it.
Gubi is good when Randazzo lets him talk about baseball instead of taking shots at the guy who runs the choo choo train for the Astros.
