Padres MiLB August 10, Players of the Day

Ground-rules: you won’t see a too-old-for-his-league non-prospect get an award. The award may not go to the best performance of the previous night, but what I deem the most significant performance of the night…

Minor League Hitter(s) of the Day

Jaff Decker (Rookie): 2-3, HR, 3 R, 2 RBI, 2 BB, SO
Blake Tekotte (SS): 2-3, HR, 2 R, 3 RBI
Will Venable (AAA): 2-3, HR, R, RBI,

Minor League Pitcher(s) of the Day

Rob Musgrave (SS): 2.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 0 BB, 5 SO, 0 HR
Anthony Bass (SS): 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 SO, 0 HR

Other Commentary

It has been awhile since Jaff Decker made an appearance on my list… Good to see him back.

In Eugene, the Emeralds hosted the Yakima Bears. Musgrave and Bass who combined to pitch the final two innings Sunday night allowed 3 baserunners; 2 hits by Musgrave and 1 walk by Bass and struck out 7. Nice.

Programming note: This blog has been on-again-off-again for a couple years or so now… This post is #200 for me. Okay, I know, I’m the only one who cares…
