Boston Smith making his Barons debut starting in LF

Espino has nasty stuff but not fully settled into the bigs yet

Meidroth says how's that for RISP production?

Been a few long innings with multiple baserunners but no score

Good inning, nice for Murphy and the bats to pick up Martin.

Guards were supposedly signaling to their batters from the bases last series, but it was unclear (even to their own broadcast) if it was "real" signals or just mind games

Feels like everyone is pressing now, whole team needs to take a deep breath

Got a big break and squandered it

Oof, rough intro to LF for Ingle this week

Nice

Best of luck to him

Sounds like Boston could be down Contreras when they visit next week, pending any appeals

For reference, Teel was in Charlotte for 4 games in June after missing almost all of ST and the first 10-12 weeks of the season (aside from his first rehab attempt of 4 games in May before hurting his knee).

Reading that for some reason made me nearly certain Roch is the pick.

Easy 1-2-3 with 2K for McDougal Touching 99 and looking like a better deadline pen add than many names on the market...

Two innings for Shane Smith, 34 pitches. 1 hit (single), no walks, 2K. Touching 97 with the heater.

Groundout, single, K, lineout in the second. He looks healthy.

Sox are already wheels down in Cleveland, so hopefully plenty of time to rest and hydrate ahead of some disgustingly hot/humid projected weather

3U/3D for Smith in the first, but had to throw some extra pitches after a foul tip didn't stick in the glove Apparently it will be Sinbaldi piggybacking first and McDougal out of the pen sometime later Broadcast didn't give specifics on the pitch/inning target for Smith

And Getz has said he wants to keep him here (with an understanding that he's earning a bigger payday). Both sides will try to work something out whether it's this summer or after the season.

Don't feel like it's been particularly silent? They're waiting on him to be running full speed, then they'll decide if they think he needs rehab reps at AAA or not. So almost certainly not tomorrow, though do I lean towards them avoiding a Charlotte stint if they can. A return during the homestand feels right, get him into some winnable games at home and then hopefully come out of the ASB full steam ahead.
