BamaDoc, you are the personification of Old Faithful. Right on time.

Bonemer's first HIgh A 💣

Good start for Oppor: 5IP, 0ER, 2H, 1BB, 6K.

Efficient 66 pitches, barely broke a sweat.

Bonemer just hit another lol, 106mph 424ft to LCF

Edited by Autumn Dreamin

Bonemer finished 3-4 with a double, 2 HR, and a walk for good measure. Very hot start in WS, 6-18 with 5 XHB through 5 games (2 doubles, 1 triple, 2 HR). 4 walks to 4Ks.

Dash won 5-0, Oppor finally gets his first W at the level.

Oppor had a good month. 5 ER in 6 starts, 23.1 IP (1 in his last 13). 11.95 K/9 to 3.85 BB. 1.92 ERA. 

Braden 1-4, 2B and 0 Ks.

Iriarte walked 3, gave up 3 runs, out after a third of an inning. his ERA is up to 6.92. What happened to him? 33 walks in 40.1 innings is brutal.

Not that I would ever, but you almost hope he is injured.

His stuff backed up big time almost immediately after the Sox got him.  It’s just a giant scouting miss.

I know what you mean. Looked like he could've been a serviceable starter last year. I'm just looking over the game logs, he started 5 games with Charlotte in March/April, pitched to a 9 ERA with 9BB/9, went to Arizona, came back a month later and had an excellent June as as a reliever. July started off well, brought the 9 ERA down to 4.50 then things really went off the rails starting July 29th.

I guess the good news is that a few really, really bad outings are doing a lot of the heavy lifting, so maybe he just needs to be more consistent. But some of the scouting reports say his stuff is just diminished. 

Pipeline wrote in, presumably, 2024:

After parking in the mid-90s and peaking at 100 mph in the first half of 2023, Iriarte's fastball has settled in at 92-94 mph with a high of 96,

Then our guy @Y2Jimmy0 wrote more recently:

Iriarte’s stuff has really backed up and he only made five starts before the White Sox transitioned him to a bullpen role. The Sox were trying to improve his velocity vai some mechanical tweaks and he completed a sojourn with the development staff in Arizona.

Haven't watched him play this year, so I don't know what his velocity is at. But that doesn't sound promising. I agree with you in that we might "hope" he is just dealing with some injury. But not in, like, a painful way. I'm not sure how else you might account for that.
