Oof, right in the Queros.

I'm pretty sure teams can process the context of Houser throwing a bad pitch late in a blowout. Sucks that it tips his ERA over 2, but he wasn't returning 2 ERA ace value anyway because teams look at more than box scores.

Wolkow added a timely HR to force extras, Kanny won 8-7 F/10 LaCombe had a great affiliate debut:

Nice little coaching moment with Jirsch there

They have discovered the power of crooked numbers

12 hits allowed is a career high for Shota FYI

This brings me such joy.

If Houser gets an early hook, I'm going to assume the Cubs traded for him mid game.

.409 xBA for the Sox vs. Shota, average exit velo 95.3 (100.2 vs. the 4seam)

Oh my god

Acts like one too. I don't hate the Cubs outside of these series, but have seen so much of PCA peacocking around in the minors showing up umps, teammates, opponents, etc. that I'll never find him likeable.

Is....is the rebuild over??

Oh

Rewatched his last AB vs. Tampa and I could believe he felt something hitting first.

Do we know what happened to Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa? He was on the restricted list earlier this season, sent to Arizona but never pitched, and just got released.

Win #12 for the Barons. Gave up the tying run top 9 but then walked it off in the bottom half. McDougal/Schweitzer piggybacked. Tanner had his first rough outing, 2.1IP/4ER. Schweitzer 3.2IP scoreless. This Birmingham run is interesting. Not a lot of big names due to injuries/promotions, but just sort of finding ways to win on the margins. Antonacci has helped, 2-3 tonight brings him up to a 1.340 OPS in AA (8-16, 3 doubles, 6BB, 2K, 2 SB) through 6 games

Haha, typo I guess. I meant 2 HR.

Sox facing a couple of rehabbing MLBers, Nestor Cortes for Charlotte and Kyle Bradish for WS.
