An update on the struggling Blue Rocks offense
I would assume that, if you’re reading this, you’re probably familiar with the fact that the Royals core of offensive prospects at High-A Wilmington have struggled mightily in 2019. Here is the current team stats leaderboard in the Carolina League
Final line on Brady Singer:
5 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 1 BB, 6 K.
Gave up a pair of HR in the 2nd but was stellar outside of the 2nd inning.

This is one of the HR Singer gave up earlier tonight. Not a terrible pitch by any means. Just caught a little too much plate. pic.twitter.com/qzy9A6dBqZ

Dairon Blanco hit an RBI double in his 2nd PA of the night for NWA. CF that came over in the Jake Diekman trade.

Been a little inconsistent but when he’s on, he’s been really good. https://t.co/JahIZ0XxB8

Nick Heath is 2-2 with a double, a SB, and a pair of walks for Omaha. He’s batting .296 with a .901 OPS since arriving at AAA.
Brett Phillips is 2-3 with a double and a SB.
Erick Mejia and Jecksson Flores are both 2-4. Mejia has a SB as well.

At the game in Tulsa tonight as a fan so I could watch Kowar pitch. He’s the best pitcher in the system, no doubt about it. The FB/CH is lethal (CH grades better than 50), and he looks confident with the curveball tonight. https://t.co/PNhb6eXi6P

29-year old reliever had a fantastic BB/K at AAA for Milwaukee. Was pretty okay last year out of Milwaukee’s bullpen. Would guess we’ll see him in September. https://t.co/4v2Mj34mfl

Minor League news: I’ve been told that Scott Blewett and Zach Lovvorn have been sent back to Double-A Northwest Arkansas. Pitchers Conner Greene and Emilio Ogando have been promoted to Omaha.
