3 run HR top of the 8th. Existing Baron pitchers from this year suuuuuuuck.

Barons had bases loaded 1 out, could not score.

Inside the park HR was Tatum's fault. Should have been a single, tried to be a hero and it got by him. Birmingham's existing starters (now in the pen) have sucked all year. This is kinda why they've struggled all year.

Tie game on an inside the park homer. Schoenle gives up 5 in the 7th.

Nice play Ramos. When he's healthy, Ramos is a good-looking prospect.

Yes, because we’d be living in Cleveland.

Who gets a Look in Aug/Sept
Sox brought up Lambert but no position player. Are they playing a man short again? And if so, why? I have a feeling if they were willing to give Sosa another look, he'd be up right now. I predict they are holding the roster spot for Trayce Thompson and they're going to play out the string with multiple 30-something looming FA roster fillers.

I never want Cleveland to win the division. I don’t like them. I know others on this board feel that way about Minny, fair enough. If Detroit is ever good again in my lifetime, I can see their fans getting super obnoxious, but my number 1 Sox rival is the Guards.

Lambert has been bad in mlb and AAA. Hopefully it was health related. Seems like a good guy. Maybe he can earn a spot for 2024.

DSL Sox win again 9-5. That team is really starting to hit. Hopefully, they have a couple of guys there.

Grade Rick Hahn's Trade Deadline Performance
I think this is par for the course. People don't trade their ascending players due to recency bias. Paul Konerko was a mega-prospect with the Dodgers who had a down year, so they dumped him on the Reds, where he struggled, which is how the Sox got him... for a struggling Mike Cameron. If Quero had a .950 OPS in AA, he would not have been available. Sox betting that he splits the difference between struggling as a 20 year-old in AA who was facing the pre-tacked ball for most of the year and excelling in an offensive-inflated Cal League as a 19 year old.

Who gets a Look in Aug/Sept
Sox played last night 2 guys down, 1 pitcher, 1 hitter. I hope to hear they have added 2 players to the active roster by game time tonight, but these are the Sox, so who knows? They may just bring up Trayce Thompson and Jimmy Lambert. I'd like to see a few guys get a shot. Eventually, I'd like Korey Lee to catch once he's healthy, Sosa to get some time at 2b/3b, and Patino to get time to work with Katz, given that he's out of options next year. What do you guys think? Who would you like to see added/subtracted in the last two months?

Will be interesting if they let Crochet try to start now that they've added all this depth. I think they'll want to move Eder fast. He turns 25 in October. I will be shocked if he's not in the rotation by midseason. Nastrini is much more of a wildcard because of control lapses. In some way, I hope they rush them both to the majors. Less time for our minor league development staff to screw them up.

Wolkow out of the ACL game, Erick Hernandez is in. Caleb Freeman continues to not be able to get anyone out.
-
8/1 Games
Curt Bloom said he cannot confirm yet that Eder is headed to the Barons. Btw, they did not score in the 10th and lose 3-1, 10 losses in a row. Sox go 0-4 in full season.

Scolaro walks a couple and score 2. Barons trail 3-1.

Montgomery is very smooth at short. Started a pretty 6-4-3 DP.
-
8/1 Games
Montgomery just got called out on a 3-2 pitch that really looked inside. Ump is suddenly calling anything close a strike.
-
8/1 Games
I like lefty reliever Gil Luna. He just picked a guy off. Montgomery, so fundamentally sound, tagged him out without getting into a run down. Every time I watch Colson, it's like watching a 10 year vet.

Single for Gonzalez. His first hit in A ball. 1-3 w/ 1bb 1K.

Schanuel (Angels 1st pick) is already in AA. He looks like a beast.
