Daily Minor League Baseball Thread for April 19, 2019
If you’re new, welcome, if you’re returning, thanks for coming back!
I’m a long-time fan of John Sickels, and I’m looking to put together a daily piece akin to his daily minor league baseball thread that he had up each day, highlighting the previous day’s top performers along with some of the top games to watch for the day ahead. Feel free to comment at the bottom of the post!
With no day games among my “notable” games today, this one is a touch later than will be normal!

After 6 years of writing for FanSided on various sites and offering contributions to various other websites, family changes have encouraged me to start this site. I spend a ton of time watching baseball at all levels, but I love watching minor league baseball on milb.tv as I'm hours away from the closest minor league team. This is an effort of all those games I enjoy on a daily basis!

I welcome plenty of comments as the day goes on! I’ll actually be out picking up one of my kids for a weekend visit, but I’ll be around as much as I’m notified of any comments!
