[Philsmania]

The performances of LHV, REA and LKW have been a something of a roller coaster so far. A slow start for all three during the first half of April when the position playing prospects were seemingly unable to hit off of fungo bats followed by a surge in the second half of the month when the hitters heated up (with notable exceptions in Crawford and Cozens) but now all three affiliates are scuffling again with their hitters collectively in a funk.

[Squire]

Eshelman pitching pretty good tonight through 6in case anyone is curious.

Carlos Tocci is white hot.

Fat lady warming up for Mark Appel's prospect status.

[rkeden]

Do not look at and certainly do not talk about the game that Eshelman is pitching tonight after 6 innings.

Coincidently, the Fighins have a 2nd baseman, a left fielder and a center fielder, in that order, tearing up the league. Tonight too.Seems like a mirror image of the parent club.

[Squire]

Dang it.

[allentown]

The Reading and Allentown bats come alive, although not so good for Crawford and Williams. Nice to see Tocci with a double and triple. Another awful start for Appel. Even the Lakewood bats showing some life. Not so much at CLW.

[Austinfan]

Time to move Appel to the pen.
Hoskins is for real.
Williams drew a walk, which is a good sign.
Cozens went 3/4 and is still well below the Mendoza line. He'd better watch out for Pullin.
