The Eugene Emeralds are putting out a video series on YouTube in which various members of the Emeralds provide short lessons on some aspect of the game. There are at least three of them up now, and all three are short and well worth watching.
If you want to throw a slider, Michael Knighton has you covered. If you want to bunt (for a base hit only, of course), then tune in to Tolly Filotei. And if you want to not get flattened while turning a double play, Jhonny Bethencourt provides a how to.
Not to be outdone, the Tennessee Smokies have Cael Brockmeyer discussing kale. The green leafy stuff. For a minute and a half. It’s… something.
Triple A: Iowa Cubs
Iowa 6, Sacramento 5 in eleven innings.
A walk off double in extras ended a game that had just turned three hours old.
Double A: Tennessee Smokies
Pensacola 5, Tennessee 0
The Smokies started the doubleheader by being one hit.
Tennessee 2, Pensacola 1
In Game Two they came up with eight hits on their way to the win.
High A: Myrtle Beach Pelicans
Potomac 7, Myrtle Beach 2
Short has a nine game hitting streak.
Low A: South Bend Cubs
South Bend 4, Bowling Green 1
Three runs in the sixth proved to be all the offense South Bend would need.
Short Season A: Eugene Emeralds
Boise 12, Eugene 5
Boise was held scoreless in the sixth and seventh innings. So that’s something.
Rookie: AZL Cubs
Rangers 9, Cubs 5
The Cubs committed four errors.
