Spencer Jones Named Eastern League Player of the Week Again
Yankees prospect Spencer Jones is at it yet again. For the second time this season, Jones has been named the Eastern League Player of the Week by the League office after a stellar showing against the Bowie Baysox.
Over the six games, Jones went 9-for-22 (.409) with two homers, nine RBI, five runs scored and six extra-base hits. During that timeframe, Jones led the Eastern League in total bases (19). The Patriots wound up winning four of six to keep themselves within striking distance of first place in the Eastern League’s second-half standings. Currently, they trail Portland by one game.
Perhaps the coronation for Jones’ second player of the week nomination came on Sunday afternoon when he went 3-of-4 with a homer and four RBI in Somerset’s 6-1 victory.
A first-round pick out of Vanderbilt in the 2022 Draft, Jones quickly shot up the charts on the Yankees prospect list, ranking number 2 overall, behind only Jaason Dominguez.
Selected to participate in the MLB All-Star Futures Game in July, Jones ranks among the Eastern League leaders this season with 58 RBI (3rd), 35 extra-base hits (T-4th), 55 runs scored (6th), 21 stolen bases (Tied -6th) and 150 total bases (5th).
His 13 home runs are tied for fourth most among Yankee’s minor leaguers this season, while his 58 RBI are second, and, his 86 hits are tied for fourth most.
Jones and Patriots host a critical series at home this week against the Binghamton Rumble Ponies at TD Bank Ballpark.
'Umbrella Academy' Merch You Need to Purchase Before the Final Season
Umbrella Academy umbrella
Kind of a no brainer, right? This merchandise manufactured by Dark Horse Comics (the comics where the series is based on) is the perfect companion every time you step outside since it can protect you from the harmful rays of the sun and from peltering rain. It’s made of sturdy and durable materials that can sufficiently protect you from the elements. Sadly, it can’t protect you from the world ending when Viktor’s powers go haywire or time traveling assassins.
Enamel pin badge crest
This accessory might be subtle, but when a fellow Brellie sees this, they’d immediately know and engage you in hours long conversation about their Season 4 theories. This high-quality, secure metal pin is an accessory you can wear every day or until you’ve watched the last season and you’re satisfied with the ending (dear TV gods, please don’t let us down and let the series end with all our questions answered and no loose ends).
Cha Cha small plushie
This might not be the best plushie to give your nephew or niece, but it can be a suitable addition to your collection. This Cha Cha plushie will bring you back to good ‘ole first season when things aren’t as complicated (or you know when the only problem the Hargreeves siblings are dealing with is their daddy issues, oh, and Number 5’s sudden reappearance bringing them the bad news that the world’s going to end soon). Purchase this plushie before the season finale so you’ll have something to cuddle with when things get a little bit intense.
Playing cards
Even if you don’t play poker or blackjack, these standard-sized deck of playing cards are still worth your money. Fans of the comic books raved about the cards’ artwork and guaranteed fans of the TV show will surely love it too.
Charms bracelet
Another accessory you might want to add to your ensemble, the charms on this bracelet perfectly represented the siblings. This alloy, box chain bracelet is an accessory that might survive the apocalypse (wouldn’t want to be the one to test this hypothesis). This bracelet is subtle and can be worn on any occasion unlike other accessories that look costume-y or could only be worn during comic conventions. Comes in a gift box and is perfect as a gift to your fellow Brellie.
Hotel Oblivion keychain
This keychain fortunately doesn’t open Hotel Oblivion (we wouldn’t want that) but is still an A-Okay accessory to hold your keys. From Dark Horse Deluxe, this sturdy plastic keychain is lightweight and measures 3.5″ X 1.75″ averaging a 4.5 out of 5 reviews from past buyers. Not bad for a keychain that might hold the key to resetting the universe.
Griddy’s doughnuts lunch bag
For non-fans they might think this is just a quirky lunch bag, but Brellies know better. This officially licensed merchandise will keep your lunch fresh with its thermal insulation, Velcro closure and a top strap for easy handling. This bag will not only hold your lunch but will also remind you of Agnes and Hazel’s ill-fated love story. Talk about right love, wrong time(line).
