OF Hunter Ensley, Tenn is probably a middle round pick (4th-8th round, my guess)...5th year player, Medical Redshirt after 1 game his First Year. He's having the best year of his college career. He'll get well underslot...he has no alternative, either play baseball or not. No leverage

THanks so much , Duce ! I have seen where Doyle could be Top 5 .. Do you agree with that ? If yes, would he be possibility for Cardinals ?

I like Kilen alot....but his Helium Balloon stalled with a Hamstring injury...he had no focus on him for 3 weeks. He came back and has played well, but he's not getting any draft buzz....he's a Top 15 pick. And could get back into the Top 10 if Tennessee can play better than have the last 4 weeks.

Curley has failed miserably since March....I'm not sure failed miserably is right...maybe back to what he was in 2024. Good, not great, hitter....low wRC+ with an aluminum bat. That's not good, imo

Fischer is a good power bat, will likely get drafted later 1st round, the contact could be better.

All could improve their standing quite a bit with a great post season....Christian Moore did last season...he led Tennessee offensively to a CWS

Curtis Taylor ~ 4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 3 BB, 3 K.
Zack Weiss ~ 2 2/3 IP, 3 H, 1 R, 1 BB, 3 K, 1 HR
Oddanier Mosqueda ~ 1 1/3 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 1 K
Roddery Munoz ~ 1 IP, 3 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 K

Thomas Saggese ~ 2-4, HR, Single, K
Ryan Vilade~ 1-3, Single, K
Bryan Torres ~ 2-4, 2 Singles
Mike Antico ~ 1-3, Single

Munoz's cutter is SOOOO BAD....runs right into the sweet spot of the bat to both LHB and RHB. the Sound are a good bunting team, SAC and Safety Squeeze in the 9th....3 Singles to the OF, too

between Munoz and Fernandez, 1 of them or both need to lose their 40man Roster spot. Give Granillo a try. He's earned...good fastball and slider.

Not been a fan of Munoz since he aborted in the ML pen. The sooner he leaves the better.

Looking forward to seeing sequera tonight for palm beach. Mathews was promoted to A+ with just 30 innings last year albeit with insane strikeout numbers. Would love to see savacool sequera and honeyman moved up soon. Rainel as well to A.

there's several that need promoting. We'll probably see quite a few promoted right around draft time. Sometimes a player hits/pitches his way to promotion like Mathews did last year....I hope that for Honeyman and Rainel Rodriguez

Ya looks like ixan pitched 73 innings before promotion last year and has similar numbers to savacool and sequera.

no Palm Beach lineup was posted on their website.

This is typed by me for you.

Lineup

1. Travis Honeyman ~ CF
2. Jonathan Mejia ~ SS
3. Josh Kross ~ C
4. Luis Pino ~ LF
5. Christian Martin ~ 2B
6. Jose Suarez ~ RF
7. Sammy Hernandez ~ DH
8. Deniel Ortiz ~ 3B
9. Maikel Hernandez ~ 1B

3 Catchers in the lineup tonight.... Kross, Hernandez and Hernandez

And...nearly 110 K's between the 2,3,4 hitters tonight, Mejia, Kross and Pino...

Palm Beach 0, Tampa 0 ; Top 1st

Travis Honeyman leads off

Tampa/Palm Beach do not play tomorrow night. That's why they played 2 games yesterday. Saturday's game is finally in the Tarpon's original home field, George Steinbrenner Field....hopefully we have MiLBtv for that game. No Video, No Audio while the Tampa Tarpons play on the backfields .

Tampa Rays have made George Steinbrenner Field their home for 2025

No stream for PB tonight?
