re: Dan Hammer

Please, Gods of Baseball, bestow upon Dan that which is necessary to be a reliever nicknamed "The Hammer", who is feared and whose name rings out.

Why were there no games for Norfolk, Bowie and Delmarva yesterday?  Mid-season break?

BTW, don’t we consider the FCL and DSL teams to be part of the farm?

It was a scheduled day off before the start of the season's second half.

Yes the FCL and DSL are a part of the farm but looking back on my summaries from 2022, I didn't include those leagues in the summaries.  @Frobbyyou are the first to ask that question.  If readers want that info as well, I can see what I can do to incorporate it but obviously it takes more time and there has to be a demand for it.

I think you do plenty already, Chuck!   There are threads covering those teams and I didn’t mean to suggest you should include reports on those teams in your daily reports.  I’m just pointing out that we did have other farm teams playing yesterday.

No worries @Frobby.  Thanks for pointing that out.  I just try to get a catchy title for the link to the summaries.

They are playing an extra game next Monday because of the 4th of July weekend.

He's going to need a wicked curveball, if he doesn't already have one.
