Bob and FP say not to call it a triple-A lineup. Okay, I guess Frandsen and Espy have been with the big league club all year...

Pretty solid for "depth": Blake Treinen (+26.9%) defines "embarrassment of riches," going 5 scoreless with 3 Ks and a walk in a spot start from the pen by way of Syracuse.
Powerful callup: Steven Souza Jr. (+9.9%) gives the NAAAts a temporary lead by absolutely destroying a solo shot to deep center in the 5th (+16.6%).
Clown play, dude: Ross Detwiler (-47.8%) has a rough 7th, loading the bases on a hit, walk, and HBP, then getting a pinball circus play that let in 3 runs on an infield single (-44.9%).
Minor league offense: Michael Taylor (-10.1%), Kevin Frandsen (-12.1%), and Sandy Leon (-11.6%) combine to 1-11 with 5 Ks, 6 LOB, a CS, and a GDP.
