Charlotte is @ 11 and W-S game 1 is @ 11.

They are both at 10am Central, underway now.

 

Moncada went 1/4 with a SB.

 

Knights lost 1-0

Basabe in a little bit of a hitting slump this week but walking a ton.

Just as you'd expect, Burdi is continuing to dominate in Charlotte. It won't happen due to injuries and likely trades, but a bullpen with Robertson, Jones, Kahnle, Swarzak, Putnam, and Burdi would just be completely ridiculous.

Not to mention one of Fulmer, Lopez, Giolito, Kopech and Hansen, if not two. Maybe Adams amps up his velocity in short bursts, etc.

 

Still need a dominant lefty like a Radinsky, Cotts in 2005, Marte, Thornton.

The times where it has felt the sox have overachieved they have had a dominant pen. IMO the acceleration of results from our rebuild will be if our pen is not a Reds like disaster (or a 2014 pen)

Adolfo...you have my attention

The thing about Adolfo is back before everyone and their mother was an at-home scout, nobody would know these guys until they were 20 and in full season ball. He's right where he's supposed to be for his age, and now it's time for him to climb the ladder the next few years.

Hopefully Jordan Guerrero has figured something out. Looks like he's on his way to another very good start.

It was talked about his last start but he was just having some ridiculously terrible luck. His fip has been stupid low all year.

Micker Adolfo is the next Luis Robert, minus the speed.

 

I guess that's one way to spin a non-signing disappointment. And saving $50-60 million. Hopefully they put it in Berkshire-Hathaway A shares and get the historical 20.63% ROI.

Guerrero is probably done for the day. Final line is 5IP, 5H, 1ER, 3BB, 7K.

Solarzano with a real nice line.

10th inning RBI double for Mitch Roman. Nice season.

The Coastal Carolina guys- Remillard and Morrison- also having good seasons for Kanny.

I think its time for Morrison to move up a level

You're right. If we sign Robert and stick him at Kanny next year, and if he puts up these same Adolfo numbers by May 11th, this board would be jumping.

 

Of course, on May 1st, just 10 days ago, Micker's numbers were very pedestrian.

12 game hitting streak.
