Autumn Dreamin

If we catch them even for a day I will be so insufferable.

5 road teams got walked off today and despite being 4-17 away from home, the Sox weren't one of them.

Sox had 21 saves last season and are well behind that pace despite being on track for more wins. That's the fewest since at least 2000 (not counting 2020).

The trend of save-less wins continues on, 13 wins and still just 2 saves. The 7 win Rockies have 5 saves. 21 teams have 10+ already.

.328/.414/.541 with 7 XBH (3 HR) and more walks (9) than Ks (7)

Big props to Thaiss for keeping the inning going with 2 outs too

What a swing

Not the best night to be a road team with a narrow lead.

Oh my word we have some dudes at C

I feel the opposite. Really enjoyed him and Stone together, but Tigers broadcasts regularly make me cringe.

Ooof, that was scary.

Schultz done after 5IP, 1ER, 5H, 1BB, 7K (season high). 76 pitches, left with a 2-1 lead. One of the "hits" was a ball right at Burke in CF that he lost in the sun and couldn't recover. Went for an Arroyo triple.

Schultz gave up a cheapie in the first (walk, seeing eye single, sac fly), struck out the side in the 2nd.

Leadoff HR for Cole McConnell, his first as a pro. Interestingly enough, it's also the first ever allowed by the opposing pitcher. Both 10th rounders, taken 4 picks apart.

Longest streak of alternating 1 run wins/losses in MLB history.

Zavala so far in May: 8-22 with 4 XBH and more walks (3) than Ks (2). Small 7 game May sample, but I feel like he got going in mid April or so.

Good read on Smith from a Brewers perspective.

12th win, 3rd series win, and somehow just the 2nd save.

Clean sweep down on the farm. 3-0 Kanny, nice combined pitching effort. Bonemer 2-3 with a BB, Wolkow 0-3 with a BB and 3K, but he reached on one of his Ks to keep the inning going and get a run across. 5-3 Dash. Braden is still hot, Antonacci 2-4 with a 3B and SB, Zavala looks more comfortable 1-3 with a BB and cut down a run at the plate. Scholtens had a solid rehab effort 4IP/1ER, Vail pitched the last 5. 6-5 Knights behind a couple crooked numbers that they just held on to. Plymell was nice out of the pen, Schweitzer was decent (5IP/3ER on a pair of HR))

Umps have been rough all series, not too surprised frustration peaked eventually.

Schultz and the Barons rained out, everyone else is underway
