With respect to Ben and his vacation tour that you’ll learn about later today, I will attempt to fill his considerable shoes (though I go size 15) by giving you today’s Minors Monday report.
We’ll start in the Dominican Summer League, where the DSL Braves are having a rough start: they are now 3-10 on the season (0-3 since last report), and – this is weird – were beaten by a pitcher for the DSL Mets named Familia in their last game. That contest went 2-1 in 15 innings with neither team able to put much together despite an evenly split 22 combined hits.
