Ben Williamson is the first former @RainiersLand to have a walk-off hit in the #WorldSeries since Scott Podsednik (w/ TAC from 2001-02) hit a walk-off HR for the Chicago White Sox in Game 2 of the 2005 Fall Classic!

new for @YahooSports, on Daniel Vogelbach, who made a quick pivot to coaching after his playing career ended and has made a big impact behind the scenes and in the dugout for the relentless Milwaukee Brewers offense:

If there was a Mount Rushmore of ball writers, Ross Newhan would be on it. He was a giant in the biz, a Hall-of-Famer who spent much of his 43-year career covering @MLB for the LA Times. He was a mentor to myself and so many others, a friend to all. Ross died today at 89. RIP💔

A triple play during the 2005 minor league season featured a strike out and TWO caught stealing by the Spokane Indians 😳

Sat down in the Rays dining area and I look up to see Erasmo Ramirez waving at me.
He brought his family to the game.
“I’m a free agent,” he said. “So why not have some fun and watch a game.”

Cal Raleigh caught 7 innings last night in Tacoma and has a scheduled day off tonight.
He’s scheduled to catch 9 innings tomorrow with the Rainiers and on Sunday will catch or DH.
He’ll be reassessed after that, and optimism remains that he could be activated Tuesday.

Matt Brash strikes out the side with Tacoma in his inning of relief. All 3Ks swinging, done on 15 pitches. #TridentsUp

Paul Skenes is good and all but he keeps getting worse every year. Something to keep an eye on.

Miguel Cabrera with the Utica Blue Sox. The 17-year-old Cabrera played for the short-season Class A Utica Blue Sox in the New York-Penn League, his first stop in professional baseball after signing with the Marlins out of Venezuela.

The only other AAA players to do so since 2005:
Jackson Holliday
