Moncada had an infield single but was called out.

MONCADA ALERT

MONCADA ALERT

ASCHE GOT A BASE HIT EVERYONE

no worries says q

Willy Garcia goes deep, he's on fire like the rest of them.

Moncada K's; his right handed swing is not my favorite

MONCADA ALERT (currently on deck)

This is already going better than his first start.

Don't mind Melky leading off.

Charlotte about to have first pitch, Danish on the mound. Norfolk (0-3) @ Charlotte (3-0), MILB.tv; Jayson Aquino vs Tyler Danish, 1 PM CT Birmingham (1-2) @ Jackson (2-1), MILB.tv; Thaddius Lowry vs Brad Keller, 2 PM CT Winston Salem (0-3) @ Buies Creek (3-0), Max Beatty vs Franklin Perez, 1 PM CT Lakewood (3-0) @ Kannapolis (0-3), Adonis Medina vs Bernardo Flores, 4 PM CT

QUOTE (Wanne @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 09:01 PM) probably one of the most underrated players in the AL if you wanna know the truth of the matter...if not in all of baseball. Shocked teams in contention last year didn't come calling... Yup. Defense isn't too awesome, but his bat plays.

Oh, Delmonico just tripled too.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 08:46 PM) Moncada homer...he stinks Apparently we have the 27 Yankees down in Charlotte. Just imagine when Raburn gets there!!

If I'm the MVC, I agree with most of the conventional wisdom Approach St. Louis first. They'll probably say no. So I approach all three of Valpo, Belmont and Murray State. You could essentially split into two divisions if you wanted. UNI - Drake - Loyola - Bradley - Illinois State - Southern Illinois Missouri State - Indiana State - Evansville - Belmont - Valparaiso - Murray State

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 08:26 PM) Homer for Delmonico. Probably my third favorite minor league hitter after Moncada and Collins If Asche keeps struggling, gotta imagine he comes up. I expect him to start moving around in Charlotte - 3B, 1B, LF.

Delmonico homers, then Hayes homers again. Charlotte is scoring all the runs.

I think your next man up in center might be Engel.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Apr 8, 2017 -> 06:57 PM) Great win against a divisional opponent. As usual Sox have a few likeable players and many you love to hate. I love Saladino, Abreu and Anderson and Davidson. Don't like Melky, Frazier. Despise Asche. Neutral about Avi. Happy for Soto's 3 homers but not a fan. Fan of Q. Why not Melky? He's been pretty consistent for us.

It's frustrating at times because from all accounts, Avi is one of the best on our team from a teammate standpoint and work ethic. Hard to believe anythings truly clicked, but maybe a full season without injury and not worrying about his job will do it for him. I hope so, because if he ever did (finally) figure something out, that solves some things.

Yessssssssss

QUOTE (Soxfest @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:10 PM) Avi is around for ONLY 1 reason, to not make the trade for the great 5 tool player look like s*** on the front office. There is zero reason to get worked up about Avi being here this year.

QUOTE (fathom @ Apr 7, 2017 -> 08:06 PM) Shame on Hahn for putting Avi back in the outfield I can't imagine Asche would be worse than him defensively, but who knows

I can't watch because of stupid blackout rules but it sounds like Avi hasn't gotten any better defensively.

Knights have the bases loaded again, up 9-1 in the fifth.
