Perez has a rag arm and cannot catch. I like him as a person, but they didn't just trade for 2 catchers cuz they think Perez is the answer.

Woo! Is that Santos' first career save?

Hello, Santos IS your new closer.

I get that he can't hit, but is Seby a big reason Sox are shutting out Cleveland right now? Pitchers seem to love him.

I love insurance runs.

Bunt.

Ha ha. But now with one inning to cover, we may find out who the new closer is. If it's Santos, maybe Middleton is already traded.

The wheels have fallen off for Thompson. He's not missing by much, but he's missing. 3 walks in the inning and brutal defense by the Barons. They trail 6-5 now.

2 bb and a wind-blown triple. 5-5 now. Jackson Chourio is the real deal, btw.

Quero 3rd ab, took a lot of pitches, 3-2 routine grounder to 1st.

Barons defense has been brutal, 2 errors in the inning, that said a lot of hard contact off Thompson. Fastball needs a tick more for his stuff to play imho.

Error, sb. Good throw from Quero, though.

Baltimore calling tomorrow to see if he's available.

Misiorowski done. 67 pitches, 63 of them did not hit someone. 4HBP, 3bb 2K. Barons lead 4-0.

Quero second ab a weak grounder to ss.

Pallette done. 4IP 3H 1R 1ER 0bb 5K. Solo shot.

Lot of weak contact against Thompson, but his fastball seems light. I wonder what he could be with an org that's better at developing velo. Sox get pitchers and they all seem to lose mph without gaining more command/control.

Quero occasionally a 1 knee catcher.

Thompson 1, 2, 3. 91-92 with the fastball. Curve is lethal. Threw 1 pretty good change.

Broadcast says Peyton Pallette has a nickname: PayPal. Pretty good, I think.

Colson HR.

Quero HBP. Thigh, not hurt. Misiorowski has no idea where it's going. 2-0 Barons, no one out, bases loaded.

Quero in the line up against Misiorowski, a guy with the best stuff in MiLB. Good test for his first game.

Peyton Pallette looks pretty good so far. Velo seems to be up a bit. He did give up a hard hit double after a bloop, but Kanny threw the runner out at the plate. 3K in 2IP so far.

Colson double, Veras single (picked off), Elko walk, DJ single 3-2 W-S.
