The Keynan Middleton stuff blew up as I sat down to write out the Minor Keys, so enjoy this Bryan Ramos walk-off homer, the Curt Bloom call that accompanies it, and the terrible cooler management at the end of it.

Other than “small sample size” is there anything to take away from 16 of Montgomery’s 25 AA plate appearances resulting in an extra base hit, walk, or strikeout? I’m not sure I’ve seen a .211 average pencil out to a .938 OPS in recent memory. It’d be downright Buhnerian if it weren’t even more extreme that Buhner’s career stats of .254 and .852 respectively.

Ramos’s post-tacked ball dominance continues.

Colson has gotten on-base in every AA game so far this year.
Are his HBP:

  • skill
  • wild pitchers
  • just randomness right now?
