Let's check the ABS leaderboard to see where the guy Steve said is one of the best is located

Besides today, this might cost Fedde a start or two going forward and the Sox just don't have anyone who you would want to see making a start waiting in the wings. Maybe you just have Newcomb try to stretch out.

Really rolling the dice with Fedde here

The claim was he was hobbling around the bases a la Kirk Gibson in the World Series

Looks like a completely normal jog to me

The Sox have zero starting pitching depth, it would be crazy to get rid of Fedde who has been perfectly competent this season. Watch a few Charlotte games if you want to see what awaits you when you start trying to replace the MLB team's starters.

Been through the order 1.5 times and Busch is the only one who has put a good swing on Fedde yet. Just feels like pulling teeth because he doesn't have a swing and miss pitch.

Fedde looking at his hand a lot

That's baseball for you. Cubs not seeing Fedde well at all but they're up 3 and Fedde threw so many pitches he may be gassed going forward.

Need Edgar to block that.

So far, well struck ball only once through 6 plate appearances. But you can see why it can be good to strike guys out sometimes.

Need you to challenge that, Quero

Can't catch a break. Another jamshot hit.

Get a grounder here and get back in the dugout

So far the two righties have hit the ball very poorly but got on base anyway

Not enough relief depth to do it and the Cubs have a pretty right-handed lineup

A bloop and a blast. I don't like the backdoor cutter on 3-2

Any concern with Teel coming out early? Was reported that the plan was for him to catch the entire game.

Yeah I won't rag on the first one too much because he killed it. A lot of decent players literally can't hit a ball that hard so it's pretty impressive to see him put up numbers like that.

90mph exit velo on the second Jacob Gonzalez homer tonight

Somehow it makes sense that Kelenic would be the guy who accidentally kills the ump

Tell me if you've heard this profile before: good plate discipline, big power, whiffs in the zone

FWIW, Grant hasn't pitched on back to back days since April 4th. Last night was a pretty low stress outing at least, so he might feel alright. Doubt they would push him to two innings, though. Otherwise, Hudson and Seranthony should still be available. Newcomb is probably available for a short appearance and Tyler Davis is rested. I assume Richards could go again if needed, too, but you're hoping not to see him in high leverage.

I'm a little fuzzy on his team control situation, but looks like he has a bit over 3 years service time so I assume you'd control him for at least a couple additional years if everything panned out. I'm not opposed to giving him some run given that he's really earned it. And the physical talent is undeniable.

You definitely have bat speed to spare with that crew. And I'm kind of a downer on Kelenic but he has definitely played well enough that you have to keep sending him out there until he stops playing well.
