Very impressive game by Quero. Just as impressive for me as the two HR was how he worked with Mena and his productive outs -- hitting behind the runner with a man on 2b no one out in a one run game and a perfectly executed sac fly. Edgar is a smart player.

Walk off for Quero!!!

Extras for the Barons. With their bad bullpen, I don't like their chances.

Right on cue, crappy bullpen gives up a 2-run HR.

Mena done 7IP 3H 3R 3ER 2bb 4K. Actually pitched better than the numbers indicate. Let's see if their crappy bullpen can hold on.

Quero long sac fly. Very fundamentally sound player. Barons 5-3.

Veras barely misses an oppo taco. 2b, Barons lead 4-3.

Mena gives up a kind of cheap run in the 6th, but Veras 2b, Quero productive grounder, Elko hard single 3-3.

Mena gives up a 2-run homer on a 1-2 elevated fastball. Barons trail 2-1.

Quero LONG HR.

Mena through 3 on only 24 pitches. He and Quero look beautifully in sync.

Fitting. The whole year has been one giant pain in the neck.

HR Sprinkle. Kanny up 9-3. W-S up 8-2. Sprinkle has looked way better since coming back from injury.

Schweitzer and McDaniel both get hit in the 2nd. W-S up 5-2 (Roman Anthony is good at baseball), Kanny leads 6-3.

Kanny scores 6 in the first, W-S scores 5. Big leads so far in A ball.

Yeah, he really cannot catch. On the bright side, he also can’t hit.

Making Moncada play day games is just cruel. It’s like holding a child’s birthday party early at your alcoholic uncle’s place.

Bat-first 3b for Tampa. Currently ranked 6th best prospect in baseball by both BA and Pipeline. Cleveland traded him when he was still in the complex league.

Barons lose a DH, Kanny gets crushed, W-S loses. Counting on the truly awful Knights to stave off the full season goose egg.

They may be out of it, but the Sox aren't afraid to play spoilers. They certainly ruined my evening.

Counterpoint: Bellinger is 28. It's possible he's going to be good for the next 5 years.

IDK. Someone will.

Thompson done. 4IP 3H 2R 2ER 3bb 3K. He threw 86 pitches in 4 innings. Sox either do not draft or do not teach throwing strikes. They're teams are among the worst pitching teams in AAA, AA, and A+ mostly because of walks.

That was one of the possible outcomes. Bellinger has that MVP upside and they were able to tap into it. He's about to get 6/180.

I wanted Robert hitting, but apparently his pinkie is worse than I imagined.
