GCL team loses in extras but Muzziotti with 3 hits, including 2 triples and 4 RBI's and two hits for Guzman and a double.

[Squire]

Was thinking the exact same thing. We lost but all the right guys were hitting

[nycphils]

Halseley looks like he may be over matching the NY Penn pitching - send him to Lakewood in RF?

[Austinfan]

Might be time to start taking Darick Hall seriously, 15 dingers playing in Lakewood.
Walding, Hoskins go long, all of a sudden there's a lot of power in the organization at every level.

[phillychuck]

Lots of bad team results tonight, again due primarily to spotty pitching. However, Hoskins and Walding both hit #20. Hall hit #15 and that's after missing almost a month earlier in the season.

He might be ready for CF in Clearwater.

[bigegypt0417]

watching jhailyn Ortiz at bats it seems like he's working on hitting to the opposite field...he has a good approach.

[allentown]

Reading is amazing! They inherit much of the CLW team of last season, lose talent -- including Kingery -- to promotion, and now they have the best record on the farm. Tocci/Tromp/Walding really coming on. I remember draft day when we took Walding -- a pick I loved, was unsure would sign, then we signed him. He never, until now, came close to our expectations on the field. He's a good defensive 3B. Franco may only have 13 months to get his act together. T/T/W give us 3 added 40-man tough choices.

[Austinfan]

Sounds like they're starting early in teach the new team philosophy on hitting, be selective, use the whole field.
After watching pitchers pound Franco and Altherr with FBs on the outside edge of the plate, going to the opposite field is a must.

[Austinfan]

Top two farm teams 102-64, despite promoting Lively, Pivetta and Leiter to the big club along with Milner. that's a lot of pitching to lose by mid-season (which ripples down to Reading).
Even with Crawford and Cozens struggling, Quinn injured again, Kingery and Pullin promoted, Williams in Philly.
The "hole in the donut" [the next wave of talent is in rookie ball] is holding up with both Clearwater and Lakewood over .500.

[allentown]

Yes, both teams doing extremely well. Reading has lost its two best hitters, two best starting pitchers, and best reliever to promotion. Crawford seems to be coming around. Although Cozens cooled off from his torrid May, June was okay. After an adjustment month in April, I'm not disappointed in Cozens' season. He has more to learn and I'm optimistic that he'll learn it the rest of this year and next in Allentown. He was VERY raw power and not a ton of baseball experience when we drafted him. Just turned 23 a month ago. That's okay, considering where he started, he was not going to be a guy who moved through the system fast. He is likely in Philly next September.
