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.

Vargas had them made for everyone to celebrate MAT reaching 10 years of service time. It's sweet.

It's probably just so that they can grab a fresh arm for a few days after working their pen so much in the series. Funny timing though.

Oof

1 late inning comeback 2 road series Ws 3 game sweep of the Pirates 4 hits for Teel 5 RBIs for Colson

I've never seen multiple close calls go the Sox way like this, it's almost more shocking than the offense

Josh Rojas. Cold bat, hot corner.

Barons continue their streak. 3-1 win for 11 in a row. Knights continue their ugly streak of coughing up late leads and head to extras after leading 8-5 through 7.

Elite bat speed
