What strange world will Bama return to? KW & Hahn gone, Getz temp-o-permanently running the ship, Wolkow and Burrowes in Kanny, Charlotte winning a slugfest at home, and top prospects Elvis Andrus (BA #37, 2009) and Andrew Benintendi (BA #1, 2017) hitting home runs in the same game.

If he ends up returning to a favorable world...don't we have to maroon him somewhere? We love Bama but ...I mean nothing happens for 30 years, then he goes on a remote vacation and everything turns to gold? Sorry not sorry.

August 25, 20232 yr Kanny up 4-1. Gonzalez robbed of a hit, gets sac fly out of it. Decent contact to right.
August 26, 20232 yr McDougal out after hitting his pitch count. 4.2IP, 2 "ER", 4H, 4K, 1BB. The first run followed a throwing error that let a base stealer advance to third. He scored on a single. The second was scored after he was pulled. Reliever gave up a HR allowing his inherited runner on 1B to score.

He was very good tonight, but his delivery falls apart at times. He has a herky jerky motion that may need to get smoothed out. That said, he was solid.
August 26, 20232 yr 2 out triple for Nishida, 8 pitch Gonzo walk. He takes 2nd on a WP, and Harris knocks them both in with a bloop to CF. Edited August 26, 20232 yr by Autumn Dreamin
August 26, 20232 yr Barons in the midst of blowing it. 4-3 now. Tons of sloppy defense by both teams in this game.
August 26, 20232 yr 4-4 now. Tough inning for Quero: catcher interference, throwing error and a passed ball.
August 26, 20232 yr Kanny scores 2 in the 7th and 3 in the 8th, but their horrific bullpen gives up 1 in the 7th and 3 in the 8th. Could be the 4th consecutive walk off loss for them.
August 26, 20232 yr Colson with a nice snag and tag on a wide throw from Quero for an inning ending CS.
August 26, 20232 yr Popeye with the Golden Sombrero. The last 3 series they have won the first 3 games, then lost the next 3. They have won the first 3 of this series and have played a pretty bad game tonight. Let's see if they can break the pattern.
August 26, 20232 yr Barons do not score. Top 5 is 1-28 w/10K. Aside from Thompson, they do not deserve to win this game.
August 26, 20232 yr Kelley gives up a single then walks 2 guys to lose the game. He's a complete mess. I hope our new GM fires the farm director because development in this system is nonexistent.
August 26, 20232 yr Thought I’d share this: took my kid to his first baseball game tonight in Myrtle beach. Caught Pedro Ramirez 1st home run, frickin crazy. Sox notes: Jacob G looked dumb on a strikeout but was clearly one of the better players there. Looks like a shortstop, almost made up for a bobble on a slick play but didn’t get the call. Looks really young, not crazy about the stance but he belonged for sure. I’m just an idiot fan so salt to taste. Nshida looks like a kid that doesn’t belong IMO. He could barely get the ball to the cut off man and his contact was super weak. Looked away for a second though and he was cruising around the bases for a triple. Not sure how that happened didn’t see the hit but sure didn’t seem like he has the power. Again, idiot fan. Special night for me and the fam.

I know some people don't want the Sox changing batting mechanics during the draft year, but I thought the whole idea was they wanted to get a high floor/low ceiling "polished" prospect that could contribute as a 2 WAR player fairly quickly since they want to fill big league spots (either 2B or SS) on the cheap, so it makes sense that they are trying to fix stuff fast to move him from level to level as fast as possible. Ofcourse, the Sox don't exactly have a great history fixing hitters. Collins was supposed to be 55 hit/55 power too but they couldn't fix the hitch in his swing and he turned out to be 20 hit which made any power moot.
