A good night for the Minors. A combined no hitter at Indy. Cruz with an RBI, couple hits for Cal Mitchell. At Altoona Nick Gonzales with a couple hits, and at Greensboro Henry Davis with a couple hits tonight. It is interesting to see how the players in the Minors are doing each night.

I didn't realize Tucupita Marcano had been sent all the way down to AA. That's a major backwards step for a guy who got some playing time in the majors with San Diego.

Marcano had never played above A-ball when he made the SD opening day roster last year after a hot ST and when injuries opened up a spot. But he only started 9 games and was sent to AAA, skipping AA. The Pirates kept him in AAA where he struggled. At this point they feel he can get more PT at Altoona and would benefit from facing AA pithing, which he previously skipped.

Maybe a road trip to Altoona this Summer. Would be nice if some of the members could go

Has anyone been checking on the production or lack thereof,
of O'Neil Cruz?

He is hitting .250 with two doubles , a triple and 3 rbi. I would think by months end he will have a few homers. I think he needs this time at Indy, so when he arrives in Pittsburgh he is here to stay.

In 9 games at Indy, Mason Martin is hitting .400 (14 for 35) with 5 2Bs, 3 3Bs and 2 HRs and just 9 Ks.
