I'm just a little excited that Font is pitching today, and couldn't wait any longer to get a minors thread going. Here's hoping that Font follows Beavan's great outing with something special. Like a 7-inning, 10K shutout.

Font goes for Hickory at 3:30 CT. Yoon-Hee Nam gets the ball in the nightcap (against T. House!).

Shroom's schedule says that the 7 O'Clock hour will see Mathis pitching at Oklahoma and Hyatt at Frisco.

Kirkman goes for the Blaze at 9p. BTW, the Bakersfield Blaze and Santa Barbara blaze are separated by about 60 miles as the crow flies, but one would have to travel 148 miles by car, according to maps.google.com.
