I amended the title of the article to reflect the focus of the 2 players that are headed to the AAA All-Star Game.

Scroll down to the final 4 paragraphs for the information on their selection.

First visit to Tides game on Monday 07/01. Walked up to window and scored 2 front row seats b/h visitors dugout for $15/each. Parking was $5 and the stadium is a bit off the beaten path - quite some distance from the downtown area bars. Guess we're spoiled going to games at the Yard. Beers not cheap. $11 for a 16 oz. Can of Heinekin. Food consisted of standard fare, nothing to crow about. There was one BBQ stand that looked pretty good however.

Tides were awful. Witherspoon got rocked by Gwinett. Gave up 3 taters in 4+ innings. Tides batters were outmatched. Don't think Mullins or Mountkastle hit one out of the infield against multiple Braves pitchers. Rest of team looked like typical anonymous O's rejects. Swung at bad pitches and struck out at an alarming rate.

All in all, great night at the ballpark. Highly recommended if you're planning a visit to Va Beach this summer. Remember to always buy a game program if you go.  They have give aways after every inning.

Pretty big disappointment this year but was thinking about a potential lineup/staff for 2020:

 

Lowther/Kremer/Wells/Bauman/Zimmerman

Harvey/Erwin/Tate/Gilmartin

Hays/McKenna/Diaz/Mullins

Bannon/Martin/McCoy/Peterson or Palmeiro or Stewart/Wynns

I imagine Harvey, and possibly Tate, will be in Baltimore in 2020

I hope Elias will never start another season with a rotation as bad as the one at Norfolk. I know we should be much better the next three or four years if everyone progresses. It looks we were robbed in giving up Yaz for Herb.

There are people who still care that we traded Mike Yastrzemski for Tyler Herb? My god, I don't know what to say.

I don’t think that’s the main point.   The rotation at Norfolk is really an an embarrassment, including Herb.    I can’t wait until next year when all the Bowie pitching prospects move up a level.

I'll be interested in how the Bowie rotation handles the ML ball.

Me too.    I’m assuming some will adjust better than others.    That’s why it’s nice to have 5-6 pitching prospects moving up instead of 1-2.

I totally agree with that. I don't agree with the premise that we got robbed for Yaz, unless we paid them money to take him.
