While groovin' on the Big Club's "Brick Frankller" offense ...
Hey, I just made that up!
[19 games (team totals): 41 doubles, 4 triples, 32 HR ... .276/.354/.488/.842 ... whoa!]
[Games played by Mike Morse during said period: 0]
[Gosh, if only they had a way to shore up the back end of the rotation ...]

News (though already covered in the Shout Box):
I recently learned about an exceptionally cute need for knitted charity projects. A wildlife rescue organization on Bainbridge Island has put out a call to knitters and crocheters to give them a hand.
On the field: triples! We love 'em!
Off the field:
As noted yesterday, the higher-level clubs are on their All-Star Break as well.
As promised, a minor-league news update.

Taijuan Walker (Talk40 #2) pitched the 2nd inning of the Futures Game for Team USA and gave up only a lone walk: 1.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 0 K.
I'll do a separate news thread later with All-Star stuff and other items.
Thanks to an alert reader, we know that Dominic Leone (Talk40 #25) and Dillon Hazlett were promoted to AA Jackson. It turns out they arrived at the stadium just minutes before the first pitch.
