Prosinski is still struggling and I can only imagine how much more time he spends in the organization. It may only be only his 2nd season with the organization, but he can't seem to break through. With Lakewood, Matt Hockenberry has only been scored on in 2 of his 8 appearances. Granted, those two outings he gave up a combined 6 earned runs. The 2014 draftee from Temple seems to be doing fairly well. It would be a little more encouraging to see him limit the hits while picking up a few more strikeouts. That Carlos Tocci had a nice game huh? He hits his first professional HR of his career and steals his 8th base. He is closing the gap on what was a pretty disparaging stolen base ratio. The offense was completely shut down after their onslaught on Tuesday.

Mitch, you had such a great thing going! After giving up only 2 earned runs in his last 3 starts (18 innings) Gueller struggles a bit. Despite the hiccup, this is far better than he was pitching in 2013. Meadors gives up his first earned runs of 2014, as he had a 6.2 inning streak of no earned runs. Cord has cooled off huh? He is batting .220/.238/.366 in his last 10 games. Same as Tromp who is hitting .189/.268/.405 in his last 10. And not to keep bringing you all down, but Jan Hernandez just doesn't seem to have it together either. He is striking out nearly 42% of his at bats.
