Orioles minor league week in review: Basallo keeps mashing, Etzel will join him in Bowie

Here on Camden Chat, in addition to our daily minor league coverage, we’ll be stepping back every Tuesday morning to look at the bigger picture across a whole week of results and how the team’s prospects are faring so far. Most of the focus will be on players from Camden Chat’s composite top O’s prospects list, with mentions of some standout efforts from players who could be ranked on a future list.

Triple-A Norfolk Tides

  • Past week: 2-4 at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (Yankees)
  • Coming week: vs. Memphis (33-30, Cardinals)
  • Season record: 32-31, tied for fourth place (11 games back) of ten teams in International League East

A regular theme of this season has been Tides pitchers getting their butts kicked and this past week was no exception, with Norfolk allowing double digits in the final three games (all losses) of this week’s series, and seven runs in another loss earlier on.
