Talked to AAA mgr Buck Britton on Tides remarkable offense: “The sky is the limit. The pipeline is legit. We r seeing the cream rise to the top & that Bowie roster is going to be fun. We have MLB players playing in Triple-A & they're doing what MLB players in Triple-A should do."
Either there's something in the water in Norfolk, or the the Orioles' AAA affiliate is REALLY good 😳 https://t.co/xIkbCYo4fS
Getz, with a laugh, said Norfolk might have the best Triple-A lineup in many, many a year. They put 26 runs on Charlotte last night.
I just perused that unrelenting box score from the Norfolk Tides, the AAA affiliate of the Orioles. Twenty-six runs is quite notable. I actually feel bad for the poor kid who went 2-for-6 with a run scored.
Norfolk dominated in a way rarely seen in minor league baseball. More on the record night for the @NorfolkTides ⬇️ https://t.co/0nYySRTz0M
