Autumn Dreamin

Through the 7th on 8 pitches, including two 3 pitch K's.

The stated plan for this year is long-ish relief. Which hasn't changed from the stated intentions during the off season. Get him some longer outings, and presumably see where things stands after that for a viability of a Kopech-like transition.

He threw 2IP today FWIW, 34 pitches.

Clean inning from our favorite Aussie. Pop out, ꓘ, ground out to short. A bit wild, but that's not too surprising. And the Knights break up the no hitter, so there's that too.

Liam taking the mound in Charlotte...I'm not tearing up, you are.

Mena doing Mena things: 6IP, 3H, 2ER,11K Mini-Gio and the Banker continue turning in solid starts in Charlotte too.

Sosa was 3-4 with a double before getting pulled. Maybe coming back up for Burger if he's hurt? Colas is 2-4 with a walk. No K's for either.

For as much as I can't wait to see him back on a major league mound, I really do hope he takes absolutely all of the time he needs. Hell, maybe a little extra for good measure.

He whiffed the first swipe.

Perez staying hot too:

ICYMI

Broadcast mentioned earlier in the game that scouts in attendance from an undisclosed team had a lot of nice things to say about Womack and his likelihood of "grinding his way to the majors."

TA with a double to RCF in Charlotte. Advanced to 2B on a Remillard groundout, Hanser singles him in. Carlos Perez hits a 2R bomb, his 6th of the year.

Pallette done after 3.2IP on 39/64. 1H, 3BB, 4K.
