Farmers only: Better wear a helmet and some chain mail if you're planning on taking in a Peoria game any time soon
Triple-A: Adam Rosales had a double and his 8th homer and Josh Roenicke got a strikeout and induced a double play to escape an 8th-inning jam as the Bats held on 4-3. Ryan Hanigan went 3 for 4 to push his average up over .300.
Double-A: Chattanooga lost 3-2 and won 3-1. Chris Valaika went 3 for 4 in Game 1, and Drew Stubbs had 2 hits. Danny Dorn (14) and Justin Turner (6) homered in Game 2 as Pedro Viola and Ramon Geronimo struck out 10 in 6 innings and allowed just 1 hit.
High A: Juan Francisco was 2 for 5 with a homer and 5 RBIs as Sarasota won 17-11. Chris Heisey (3 for 6) and Jacob Kahaulelio (4 for 6) also homered, and Eddy Rodriguez went deep twice for 5 RBIs. Todd Frazier was left out of the hit parade, going 0 for 4.
Low A: Read more about the brawl here, but it was an ugly scene. In short, Zach Cozart had to leave after getting beaned, Kyle Lotzkar's 2-strikeout first inning was wasted because he couldn't continue to pitch after the hour-long delay and Peoria starter Julio Castillo threw at 2 guys' heads (nailing Cozart), broke the leg of his own second baseman and hurled a fastball into the stands, injuring a fan. When that mess was over, Dayton won 6-5 thanks to 3 hits from Brandon Waring, 2 from Devin Mesoraco and a nice relief appearance by Juan Rafael. Also, kudos to Brandon Menchaca for jumping on Castillo after the idiot threw as hard as he could at a defenseless and totally innocent fan. That's maybe the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in a baseball game. (And I think this comment says it better than I can.)
Rookies: Billings won 17-2 thanks to, among many other things, 7 RBIs from Andrew Means. It's hard to underplay 17 runs by 2 teams in one organization, but that melee did the trick. ... The D-Reds won 4-3.

Most interesting things snapped last night:
1) Julio Castillo’s psyche
2) The Peoria second baseman’s leg
3) Rob Mackowiak’s hitting streak

I'm not sure where the best place to put this is...
but Juan Castro played in yesterday’s Orioles-Jays game. Unfortunately, I went to Wednesday’s game, not Thursdays, so I missed the chance to see him in action. And what action it was: 0-4, bringing his OPS down to .212
To put that in perspective, Castro’s OPS is lower than Corey Patterson’s OBP. If that isn’t minor league, I don’t know what is.
...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield

well, the sample size is only 24 PAs...
but he also only has 2 singles and a walk in those PAs.
I'm not having even a mediocre year.

Yea I was at the Dragons game...
Yea, the hour long delay blew and the worst part?
They cut off all beer sales at the restart of the game in the bottom of the 1st…
So we missed many an inning leaving to go across the street and enjoy a frosty one every now and again.
