A feat that hasn’t been accomplished in the International League for almost 11 years…

Sox contribute to MiLB headline story, but not exactly in a good way.

Mena would have shut them out.

Next time they'll have to throw Dom Fletcher...much better fastball, low 90's, touching 93.

Or return Oscar Colas to the mound in the mid 90s.

Alternate headline:

Potent Charlotte offense nets 11 on vaunted Norfolk pitching staff, outscores Kjerstad 11-10.

[Chicago White Sox]

It’s wild that the Orioles won 101 games last year and their AAA team is better than our major league team.

Other than Robert and Montgomery…struggling to find more than two Sox starters if you combined the active rosters and AAA teams of both organizations.

And then if you were selecting just SS, you would still clearly have both Henderson and Holliday over Montgomery. Some would undoubtedly argue for Mayo over there at third (over Montgomery) if you were able to change positions to fit them all together in a lineup..

Fletcher should’ve played in this game, but he probably would’ve matched Brett Phillips’ 0 for 5, 5 strikeout performance.

I guess Nastrini got roughed up. He started that game didn't he ?

Something like 4 runs in 3+.

The biggest problem by far was the bullpen and running Mendick out there in the first week of the season.

Hey the offense was good and the pitchers that blew it probably weren't joining the team anyway. 

Baltimore's AAA lineup is nutso though. 90% of that roster should be in the MLB, some of them should be playing for the White Sox

10-0 Tides rolling again, still hitting top of the first...

Good to see Oscar off to a nice start down there at least
