Check out how Miguel Gonzalez handled the running game behind the plate:

BASERUNNING
CS: Swinson (1, 2nd base by Upchurch/Gonzalez, Mi), Mateo, L (3, 2nd base by Upchurch/Gonzalez, Mi), Racobaldo (1, 2nd base by DeFoor/Gonzalez, Mi).
PO: Racobaldo (1st base by Gonzalez, Mi), Castillo, Yu (1st base by Gonzalez, Mi).

Not bad...

Does anyone know what kind of pitches Torres has? His numbers seem pretty good, but I don't anything about him. Does he have a shot at making the team as a September call-up?

Cole Armstrong is on Fire!!!!!!!!!!!!
Look at his last 10 games: .361 Avg. 6 home runs and 12 RBI's.
In his last 5 games he is 9 for 25 with 2 doubles and 5 homers.
He has put up almost all of this season's production in just the last 5 games.

Fastball, curve, change, cutter. He can dial his fastball up to 93-94, but pitches usually around 90-91. His cutter is his strikeout pitch and it's generally viewed as major league quality. Most scouts view him as a future reliever.
