Knights win 5-1.
Davitt in his first 2 starts: 11.1IP, 3ER, 7H, 1BB (2 hit batters), 10K. Good for a 2.38 ERA and .71 WHIP.
HRs from depth guys Fletcher and Sabol, scoreless pen work from Ellard (1IP, 2K), Plymell (2IP, 3K), and Peoples (1IP, 2K).
It's not a given, sure, but it's also not the impossibility he implied it was only days ago when he compared Robert to Anthony Rendon, said the Sox shouldn't/wouldn't pick up the option because no one thinks he's any good, and suggested it was basically negligent to not trade him for a bag of balls.
Barons are a wagon. They win again 4-2 after an 8th inning comeback. 22-2 in their last 24 games.
Antonacci 1-3, Bergolla 2-4, Galanie 2-4 with a 2 run triple.
Just wild to watch. They aren't being carried by star power, but anything that can go right for them just seems to lately.
Did we accidentally assign Pope Leo to AA? Call him up!
Three guys drafted last month have joined the lineup in Kannapolis and Wolkow is still 2.5+ years younger than all of them. He doesn't turn 20 until early next year. Kind of puts some things in perspective.
Kanny wins the first game of the DH 6-3.
Bonemer 0-2 but with 2 walks and 2 runs scored. Wolkow 1-2 with a 3 run homer, 2BB, 1 K.
12th rounder Ely Brown looks solid in CF.
LaCombe cruised through 6u/6d but then gave up a single and walk in the 3rd. Got pulled for (I assume) pitch count with two outs and both runners scored after that. Final line 2.2 IP, 1H, 1 BB, 2 ER, 4 K.
Road broadcaster keeps referring to Caleb "Bonnerman" and it's very annoying.
Rojas has to be done whenever Meidroth/Vargas are back off the IL.
I feel for him because he clearly hasn't been right since the ST injury, but it is what it is.
I can live with rookie struggles, but there's no room for a vet making mistakes like that.
