Wow. He's on fire. Again, he let a close outside breaking ball go by and then crushed the 86 mph breaking ball up a bit. I'm serious about him being the hope. We have very legit guys for the MLB in Witherholt and Bernal, but a CF with power and speed? That's why he's so important.

Watching Wetherholt play SS more these days and his arm is better than I thought. He could handle 3b I think, except for the power. (I'm sedentary after hamstring surgery so I'm watching a lot more.)

Berrios gets Springfield to the bottom of the 8th, after a few BBs (3 in 2 IP, but no hits).
Wetherholt, Bernal, Mendoza and hopefully Baez gets a chance at a 3 HR game.

And JJ gets his 2nd BB so maybe Baez will get the chance!

Bernal hits a rope to RC for an out, thenMendoza hits a perfect DP ball to SS but he ole's the thing. So Baez up with 2 on.

***
Baez a very hard single to LC to drive in JJ -- so 5 RBI for Baez.

2021 Draft class having a day..... McGreevy was brilliant for 5 IP, should've got the win. Granillo got his first win, first save I believe, and Josh Baez having a career night and year in the minors

Crooks with 10 Baez with 10. Like the cluster of prospects we have aggregating in the upper levels of the system.

I wonder if we get some promotions not that a playoff spot is locked. Ixan seems like a lock with hence returning and Memphis still rolling our Taylor/cornwell plesac etc.

Baez HR #2 https://x.com/Sgf_Cardinals/status/1935880076576379253

-------------

Honeyman's 1st HR with Peoria this season...I hope he can stay healthy. Good CF if he can stay on the field. 2023 3rd round pick.
