September 20, 20241 yr https://www.mlb.com/prospects/stats/affiliates?teamId=145&date=09/20/2024 https://www.milb.com/scores/all/all/whitesox Big one for Birmingham. Gowens to start.
September 21, 20241 yr I haven’t watched a lot of Colson this year, but watching this game he looks fine to me with his basically everything, other than he’s lunging towards the plate a bit with his front foot. It’s enough to get beat on heaters and get jammed. just a one game observation.
September 21, 20241 yr Gowens had a great start, with 7K and no hits through 5. He gave up a solo shot to leadoff the 6th and it seemed to throw him off a bit, leading to loading the bases with 2 walks and a single. Still a solid final line: 5.2IP, 2ER, 2H, 3BB, 7K. The second run was walked in after he left the game. Barons up 3-2 in the 6th.
September 21, 20241 yr After stranding the bases loaded twice earlier in the game, the Barons finally come through in the 8th to break a 3-3 tie. The rally was a team effort, but Nishida's speed was a big factor. He got on with a leadoff IF single: And then got Gonzo an RBI IF single when the pitcher thought he maybe had a shot to get Rikuu at home (lol no) and then overthrew first trying to compensate: They score 3 in total, and lead 6-3 with 3 outs to go. Eric Adler on the bump for the save chance.
September 21, 20241 yr Barons win 6-3 for the division title and advance to the Championship series! Best of 3, starting Sunday. A Schultz playoff start perhaps...? Gowens was great today even though he ran into a little trouble in the 6th. Pallette with another solid 2 innings in relief (he gave up a tough luck unearned run) and the W. The bats left a small village on the bases (14 LOB, 3-10 with RISP), but having runners on base in every inning gave them enough chances to break through eventually. The Barons were the only team with a winning record vs. the Smokies in the regular season, and it mattered here. They edged them out by half a game in the first half, which is why they got two at home despite the Smokies having a much better second half and overall record.
