I'm thinking that series has a 4 day rain delay at some point.

What's the likelihood of this series happening with the incoming hurricane apocalypse?

Highlights from the first games yesterday as it may relate to the MLB squad:
AAA Reliever Derek Self 2⅓ IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, K, 3-0 IR-S. He's had a pretty nice minor league career. Doesn't K a ton, apparently he's fastball 88-91, cutter 86-88, and a pretty good changeup.
AA Aaron Barrett 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, K
AAA Nuño (W, 1-0) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K

Fedde, Mills, and Barrett combine on a no-hitter for Harrisburg tonight. That team is on a roll, now 7-1

Went to the Hagerstown Suns home opener last night. Suns had a 5 run 1st, and went from there to an 8-2 win over the Asheville Tourists (Rockies). It’s only one game, but a few things I noticed:

They had good at bats, not only hitting, but patience.  At one point with the bases loaded, the Suns 3B (Gilbert Lara) had the patience to draw a bases-loaded walk, instead of trying to be a big hero and swinging for the fences. Kyle Merinconz was impressive with two hard hit doubles.

Relief pitcher Carson Teel looked good, with 5 strike outs over 2.2 innings, with 1 earned run.

The Suns also took advantage of a couple of Asheville mental errors (overthrowing a base, missing the cut off man) with some heads up base running.

Every Thursday game is a Thirsty Thursday, with several brands of 16oz beers going for only $3.   I myself enjoyed a couple Yeunglings at that price. :)  Twelve ounce cans of brands like Bud and a Miller Lite are $2, so Thursdays have some good beer bargains.

Sadly the ballpark itself is still pretty crummy, although it appears that the bathrooms under the grandstand at least got a good power washing in the off season. Food selection is also pretty limited. But prices are cheap, the staff is cheerful, parking is plentiful and free, and it’s a night of baseball.

Not sure what’s worse. That they rank the Nationals #27 or Barves still being number 2 after all the prospects already promoted.

Via Zuck: “Double-A Harrisburg pitcher Steven Fuentes has been suspended 50 games after testing positive for a stimulant in violation of the minor league drug prevention and treatment program.”

This team absolutely needs one of Denaburg, Rutledge, or Romero to hit his potential.  Buying rotations and bullpens doesn't leave you much margin when the big cost guys don't pan out.

2020 Coaching staffs announced:

Quote
Former Triple-A Fresno pitching coach Brad Holman will fill the role of Minor League pitching coordinator, the spot vacated by the promotion of Paul Menhart to Major League pitching coach.
Michael Tejera moves from Double-A Harrisburg to Triple-A Fresno, replacing Holman as pitching coach.
Billy Gardner Jr. takes over as the manager of Double-A Harrisburg, replacing Matt LeCroy who was named Minor League quality control coordinator. The Senators also welcome former Single-A Fredericksburg National Sam Narron as pitching coach.
Replacing Narron in Fredericksburg is Justin Lord, who joins the Nationals organization after seven seasons (2013-19) as a pitching coach in the Baltimore Orioles Minor League system. Lord spent the 2019 season with the Single-A Frederick Keys.
The Single-A Hagerstown Suns will welcome a new manager in 2020, with Mario Lisson taking over after two seasons (2018-19) with the Gulf Coast League Nationals. Former GCL Nationals hitting coach Jorge Mejia joins Lisson as hitting coach. The Suns’ new pitching coach is Pat Rice, who spent the previous six seasons (2014-19) as a pitching coach in the Los Angeles Angels chain. Rice spent the 2019 season with Triple-A Salt Lake.
Former Suns manager Patrick Anderson moves to the short-season Single-A Auburn Doubledays, replacing Rocket Wheeler, who takes over as manager of the GCL Nationals.
Edwin Hurtado takes over the role as Dominican Summer League pitching coach. Hurtado is a veteran of 12 seasons as a manager and coach (2008-19) throughout Mexico, Colombia and Venezuela and also spent parts of three Major Leagues seasons playing for the Seattle Mariners (1996-97) and the Toronto Blue Jays (1995), appearing in 43 games across those three seasons. He brings more than 20 seasons of professional playing experience in the United States, Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Japan, Korea and Mexico.
Former Major League infielder Wilson Valdez is the new infield coach for the DSL Nationals.

The fact that minor league players are paid nothing for spring training and extended spring training is such bullcrap to me.
