NOW YOU SIMAS ME…NOW YOU DON’T Sea Dogs utility man Karson Simas went 2-5 with two RBI in last night’s walk off loss to the Rumble Ponies. Since August 18, Simas is hitting .250 (13-for-52) with a double, a home run, and nine RBI in 13 games.

IT’S MILLER TIME!!! Sea Dogs infielder Tyler Miller jacked his eighth home run of the season in last night’s loss to Binghamton. Since August 15, Miller is slashing .319 (15-for-47) with four doubles, a triple, two home runs, and five RBI over the 13 game stretch. Miller has been a thorn in the Ponies side this season. Miller is currently batting .300 with a triple, two home runs, and three RBI when facing Binghamton this season.

HE IS NUMBER ONE FOR A REASON Sea Dogs infielder Franklin Arias is currently ranked as the No.1 overall prospect in the Red Sox farm system and rightfully so. Since his promotion to Double-A last Tuesday, Arias is slashing .267 (8-for-30) with two doubles, a home run, and five RBI.
