Looks fake, but pretty damn scary to get hit in the face. It is why I could never play baseball. I'm amazed the injuries aren't worse.

Jon Singleton is back at it again. He just hit a 3-run homer (7) to put OKC up 5-0 on Memphis in the 6th
Singleton absolutely on fire Correa 3X3 last night also with a double and triple And V V might end up being the best of the pitchers before it is all said and done, the cali league isn't giving him much competition, 7 hits allowed and 23 K's so far after another 5 shutout innings last night This is so much better to talk about than the big league team right now

Home run Sunday... Matt Duffy, Leo Haras, and Telvin Nash all have home runs in Corpus. That's #1 for all of them. Nash is gonna Nash...10 at bats, 5 Ks thus far in AA. Stassi has a homer today as well (back to back games now).
Yep. Shirley's K-rate dropped some in Lancaster, which gives you pause, but he's back to his A-ball rate in CC.
