April 3, 20242 yr Is it crazy to think that the Atlanta Braves in chilly Chicago might have been a more manageable match up than the Norfolk Tides in the Charlotte bandbox?
April 3, 20242 yr Only two hitters above 650 ops for Charlotte. Nastrini getting killed. This Norfolk squad destroys the Sox lineup if you remove Luis Robert, Jr.
April 3, 20242 yr Nastrini 91-92 tonight. One pitch at 93. Lenyn Sosa making a bid to replace Shewmake... Edited April 3, 20242 yr by caulfield12
April 3, 20242 yr Knights take a 5-4 lead and chase the starter after 2.2IP. Lefty coming in to face Colson with 2 on.
April 3, 20242 yr 7-4 lead one-third of the way through. With Norfolk offense and Sox pitching this one might last forever. SportsGuy enjoying this one more than the major league O's against Ragans. Edited April 3, 20242 yr by caulfield12

April 4, 20242 yr And Sosa defense takes away. Norfolk offense looking like Oregon State's in the last two years of Nicky Two Strikes Madrigal. Seven Charlotte pitchers now with 6.75 plus ERA's. Make that eight including Nastrini.

April 4, 20242 yr That didn't last long. 10-8 Norfolk. Stowers es en fuego. 12--8. Horn getting lit up. Knights looking to match 1-4 Sox record. Edited April 4, 20242 yr by caulfield12

April 4, 20242 yr You have to wonder how much playing in such a bandbox hurts the development of Sox pitchers.
April 4, 20242 yr 5 minutes ago, fathom said: You have to wonder how much playing in such a bandbox hurts the development of Sox pitchers. Always the opposite with Birmingham helping pitchers and hurting hitters unless they're Thomas and Venture quality. Really need to move back the fences or do something...there's band box and whatever this constitutes. Basically like these O's playing at Little K outside Kauffman.
April 4, 20242 yr 6 minutes ago, fathom said: You have to wonder how much playing in such a bandbox hurts the development of Sox pitchers. 2022 Davis Martin had a 1.9 HR/9 in Charlotte and a 1.1 HR/9 in the bigs. He had a 3.65 ERA through his first ~60IP in the majors (before his injury shortened blowup start). 6.11 ERA in Charlotte, 3.00 in Birminham.

Ventura kinda sucked in Birmingham. He developed in the majors.
April 4, 20242 yr Revenge of SportsGuy and RolleTide. And Peyton Burdick, too. Mendick now pitching. The Matt Davidson/Leury of the Charlotte roster. Edited April 4, 20242 yr by caulfield12
April 4, 20242 yr 6 ER for Mendick. 26-11. Norfolk 29/56. Check out Holliday line. Sheesh. Edited April 4, 20242 yr by caulfield12
April 4, 20242 yr 1 hour ago, fathom said: You have to wonder how much playing in such a bandbox hurts the development of Sox pitchers. The park doesn't seem to be doing any favors for the Sox developing hitters. The player dev is a trainwreck.
