Autumn Dreamin

The Duality of Yaz:

Schultz done after 4IP, 1ER, 3H, 5K, 0BB. The run was a little unlucky: leadoff double, throwing error, grounder through the drawn in IF. Pitch count was only 60, but they seem set on 4 innings for now. Lucas Gordon looks fantastic for Kanny tonight, he's through 5 without giving up a hit. Bush is also shoving, 7K through 4 scoreless.

AZ bats were hot today. Wolkow: 4-5 with 2 doubles Burrowes: 3-5 with a BB Mogollon: 1-3 with a 2B and 3 BB Every starter got a hit, 19 hits (and 7 walks) total. They win 13-5.

Did we break the Cards? Goldy is 0-27 in May with 10Ks and 3BB (.000/.100/.000).

Burger is down to .192/.238/.342. TA is at .197/.234/.221. Both were 0-4 in the Marlins loss today. But Declan Cronin has been excellent, so Miami is 1/3 on former Sox at least. Elsewhere, Johnny Cueto is working his way back: Middleton starts a rehab assignment for the Cards next week. Santos had another setback and is now not expected back until July:

Burrowes? He's on the roster but rehabbing in AZ. Other than that, they're waiting on reinforcements from ACL and the draft. Speaking of which, Mogollon finally got his first hit today. It was a 3 run HR scoring Burrowes and Wolkow (both singles).

The Dash pitch a shutout led by 6IP 2H 1BB 6K from Juan Carela. Wouldn't be surprised to see him take a rotation spot in Bham after the inevitable promotion of one of those guys. It was the inverse story for the Barons who lost 0-3. Couldn't string anything together on offense.

Colson adds a 2 RBI triple. Hopefully he can show some signs of life before he gets dropped from the Top 100.

Scored Chappy, who led off with a double.

106mph double to right for Colson in his first AB.

Pito might not have a job to come back to...

6.2 IP 1ER 3H 1BB 6K for Nastrini. The run was on a solo shot in the first, he basically cruised for most of the start. Colas got pulled after getting caught snoozing off 1B. I guess he might have tweaked something trying to get back to the bag, but I lean towards an intentional benching for the lack of focus. Eder went 5IP 1ER 6H 2BB 6K. Three singles in the first to score the run. He mostly settled down after that, but did have some deeper counts (60/86 through 5).

Excellent start for Schweitzer. 6IP, 4H, 1ER on a solo shot, 1BB, 9K. Dash won 9-4. Dominguez also looked good, 6IP, 2H, 0ER, 2BB, 5K. Didn't give up a hit until the 5th. Knights won 8-1. Gonzo finished 4-4 with a HR, 4RBI, a walk, and a steal for the hell of it. He's up to .298/.402/.452. Wonder if we'll see him, Baldwin, and Montgomery promoted around the same time, or if they'll start shifting the Bham infield around a bit.

Gonzo just crushed one 400+

Quero breaks things up with a solo shot. Nice to see some RH power too.

Real pitcher's duel in the Bham game, both starters are through 3 perfect innings.

4 in BA's updated Top 100, including 3 top 50: 16. Colson Montgomery 30. Noah Schultz 45. Drew Thorpe 97. Edgar Quero

113.8 off the bat

5 scoreless for Pallette, 7K and no (!!!) walks. Nice to see him getting settled in.

Iriarte was cruising except for the 6th inning, his longest outing and some of the best control he's shown. Adler's AA debut was rough, seemed like he had some nerves. 1IP, 3H, 3R (2ER), 1BB, 0K. Two runs scored on a very wild pitch. Ramos picked him up with a HR to refortify the lead. He also had a double. Coffey's for closers sealed the 11-6 win. Well deserved first W for Iriarte.

Want to be more sad?

Well deserved promotion to AA for Eric Adler (though it sucks for WS to lose their closer). Schoenle promoted to AA as well.
