For those who seek comfort in the minor league system when the big club blows yet another game, Sunday was not the best day, as every affiliate that played lost. Downturns will happen, of course, and growing pains are to be expected for the players who have been moved up. Also, it’s really, really hot everywhere, like probably too hot to be playing baseball? Who do we call about this?
DSL and AZL Mariners: Off
Both versions of the baby M’s were off Sunday. The DSL Mariners are fresh off a loss to the DSL Tigers, which is a bummer, but not a bummer is top prospect Noelvi Marte collecting three hits on the day, including a triple and a HR, breaking a little mini-funk.
