Rookie GCL Yanks had their game suspended with two outs in the top of the ninth. Serious. Here’s the box score, I’ll update the stats when they complete the game tomorrow.
Both High-A Tampa and Short Season Staten Island had scheduled days off. SI is off until Wednesday for the All-Star break. The actual game will be played tomorrow.





Pretty quiet night from the farm system.
a boring day in the farm
Nuno will need more than words to calm his extreme HR tendencies of late.
ISWYDT
That was Extreme!
Adonis or Mustelier?
Older Cuban guy hitting at AAA versus not-as-old Cuban guy starting to hit at AA? Go with the guy hitting at the higher level.
Mustelier can play more positions
Did Rafael depaula pitch today
5IP 2H 1BB 8K
He must be bored
0ER
Man. They’ve got to get that guy over here. Enough of this already!
How old is Adonis?
26
Well that’s disappointing
Can I give up on Bichette?
You can do as you like.
The 19-year old in full season ball?
Go for it, bro.
Nowhere near that point. If this happens in Low-A next season, then sure. That’s when you can start to give up.
I agree. Start him in Low A again next year. Hopefully, he starts off hot and moves up to high A
Sure. WOuldn’t be the first time you did
So nobody is going to go crazy about how great some prospect is on a boring day of the farm system?
Interesting. I’m pretty sure if Aune goes 4-4 tomorrow, someone will talk about how he’s going to be the next great Yankee.
What does this even mean?

Must have been lunch time. The PB&Js and chocolate milk were baking in the noon-time sun.
