Baez has done everything but sell tickets...4 hits, 3 runs scored, two RBIs, double, HR, stolen base.  Not a bad night.

Maybe he did also sell tickets.

He got up again in the 8th and drew a walk.

We need him, especially against lefties.  Get him to California.

For whatever this is worth:

Quote
Baez then hit his 13th home run of the season to make it 8-0.

“I’ve been seeing the ball really good,” Baez said. “And making my adjustments, hitting the ball really hard.”

Baez extended his season-best, nine-game hitting streak with an opposite-field double in the first inning.

Emeralds' game suspended due to a light issue, but not before this:

Baez' homer easily cleared the high wall in center.

He is still lifting the left leg, but it appear to be a good deal less than last year.

With Schwarber graduating from the Callis/Mayo Cubs top 30 prospects at mlb.com, they have moved Oscar de la Cruz into top 30---at #23.

"I'm seeing Javy really make some commitments to kind of cut down his swing and lessen some of the movement with his lower half and upper half," Harper said. "If anybody's seen Javy play, he has a tendency to overswing.

"I'll joke around with him and tell him he only needs to hit the ball 400 feet instead of 800 feet. He's making a commitment to do that, with two strikes to cut down on his swing, and you can see it in the numbers."

With Ramirez in town, Harper and the larger-than-life Major League veteran spent some time with Baez prior to the game.

"Manny and myself talked to him about doing some things and he took it into the game and did a great job," Harper said.
