Other News

            Check out yesterday’s minor league results here.

            Astromets Mind took a closer look at Noah Syndergaard’s pitch selection and results from 5 of his last 7 starts. I added some tables to the original posts too.

            The Brooklyn Paper took notice of the top pitching on display by the Cyclones so far.

            Allan Dykstra was named DH for the PCL All-Star team!

            Toby Hyde had a long piece on Blake Taylor, the PTBNL in the Ike Davis trade.

            It appeared as though Chris Flexen was the scheduled Savannah starter for today, but he has been placed on the DL with right triceps inflammation.
