Church's HOT June. No awards as of yet, but I'm making an assumption he's your Cards System Wide PLAYER of the MONTH. Not sure he was at AAA long enough to garner International League votes

What was Ralston even doing in Springfield after last season?

new this season:

This week's schedule for all 4 squads will be 3 home/3 away. On Friday, for example: Memphis will be at home vs. Nashville.

Padilla is 1 for 2 today. He is hitting .276 now on the season and .355 over his last 20 games.

Think he’ll get moved up to Palm Beach at some point this year?

Awesome

Last 28 days: .325/.447/.519 6 2B 3 HR 8 SB 14 BB-21 K’s in 94 PA

The SB part, he’s got 20 steals now on the season in 23 attempts. Not bad for a 6’1” 230 kid

Working on his walks I'm guessing, which he does not seem to have improved...

I agree. Great speed for a big man.

What I saw this weekend, FWIW...if you want to know:

Roby flashed some pretty good arm side action on his fastball, especially to RHB, running it in like a cutter to them, while maintaining his velocity around 93-95 on the pitch. A few times in the 1st inning, when he failed to get the movement on the fastball he was hit really hard. Settled in after the 1st inning, and got easy ground balls for the next four inning. When his fastball is on like that to RHB, he's pretty dominant. The contact is weak if it at all.

On Sunday, Mathews was able to locate his fastball much better than he did on Tuesday. With the fastball around the edges of the zone, the change up really played well. Comes out of his hand like a fastball, then the bottom falls out. Batters were committed to swinging thinking it was a fastball with 2 strikes. When he isn't locating the FB the change up is ineffective and Walks ensue.

I was encouraged by both, and frankly, I was a complete fanboy getting to see them both in person. I probably embarrassed the wife nonstop with my muttering the whole game
