Dan Plesac filling in for Stone in NY. That should get annoying pretty quick.

Micah Johnson 3-5 in his AA debut.

Assuming Johnson is done tonight with 7 shutout innings, his ERA this season was 1.96 over 24 starts and 142 innings. 6-man the rest of the season?

QUOTE (knightni @ Aug 29, 2013 -> 07:34 PM) Best record in the majors over the last 10 games. SMH. Third best record since August 4th. http://www.baseball-reference.com/games/st...date=2013-08-04 (far right)

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130829 Johnson's last start.

Mark Parent's son popped for 50 games.

Could the 83 uniforms be out tonight because Sale wanted to wear them in his last home start of the season?

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130828 Micah Johnson finally gets credit for that homer in the suspended game. Hawkins started the game 0-2, and now 0-5. Now .176.

What a horrible baseball game.

Cubs will get the third pick.

Looks like Semien is crawling to the finish line. Long season, and he's run a lot.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Aug 25, 2013 -> 12:08 AM) I can't get over an upper 80s fastball from a RHP. That's what concerns me about him. Pretty limited upside for pitchers like that. Why did I think he threw in the mid-90's? Hm.

Good day for the A's.

Oh darn.

So much for the call up to Birmingham... https://twitter.com/jnorris427/status/371446032644988928

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 08:25 PM) Barring injury he'll be a major league pitcher(yes I know that's a ridiculous claim at this stage), it's just a matter if he can be a starter or not. I agree. He's got great stuff. Looking forward to seeing what he can do with 27 starts next year.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 08:18 PM) Link didn't work for me He said it's likely all three will start at Winston-Salem, and all three have a chance to reach Birmingham by the end. I just want Barnum to stay healthy for 135 games.

Danish 1 hit, 2 k's in his first inning.

QUOTE (SoxPride18 @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 07:15 PM) Do you guys think we can see Barnum, Anderson and May all start next year with WS? I believe Buddy Bell said yes to all this afternoon... http://chicago.cbslocal.com/audio/986-670-...-interviews#986

Buddy Bell just said Micah Johnson will be sent to Birmingham for their playoffs.

Brad Goldberg to W-S. http://www.milb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=2...sp&sid=t487

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Aug 24, 2013 -> 12:10 PM) Obviously bust is a very strong term for a 19 year old, but how many guys, no matter what level they are playing as 19 year olds do what Hawkins is doing and wind up successful? I understand he is 19 and a year out of high school, but he is not facing major league pitching or even AA pitching and the situation isn't improving as the season progresses. Maybe a clean slate next year and a few adjustments are all he needs, but i would say the odds are stacked against him. I'm pretty sure if the baseball world knew he would be hitting .182 with a strikeout rate which would make Adam Dunn blush in high A this year, he wouldn't have been drafted in the first several rounds. That was always my point too. Eh, let's see how he does in year 2 at Winston-Salem, and if he sucks again, it's over for that draft pick, and move on to the next one. Hopefully the 3rd or 4th pick next year will make up for it.

http://www.milb.com/scoreboard/index.jsp?c...mp;ymd=20130824 Johnson starting tonight, and Danish expected to pitch for Kannapolis tonight.

QUOTE (DirtySox @ Aug 23, 2013 -> 12:24 PM) Ugh. Good day yesterday with a bunch of bad teams winning. Unfortunately the Cubs blew a big lead. 66-96 should get the Sox the 3rd or 4th pick. So with 35 left, playing .400 ball would be good. If the Sox go 14-21, the Cubs would have to go 12-22 to tie and get the 3rd pick. Hopefully the Sox get swept by the Rangers, then whatever against the Astros, and then tank on the Boston, New York, Baltimore road trip. 3-7 at best.
