Romero with a ROUGH day.

Three strikeouts in 4 at bats.

Shelton is getting hot again. Would be huge if he figures it out.

I am going to be crestfallen if Boston Smith doesn't become a dude.

What's the scouting on Boston Smith defense at catcher?

From what I read, he's an athlete but not very polished as a C. Anyone know if that is improving? He gonna stick there?

Looks like they bumped up Mogollon to Winston-Salem, coincidentally they're playing the Mets High-A affiliate. Maybe they're showcasing him for a potential Clay Holmes trade???

Only half joking.

He might be having one of the worst seasons I’ve ever seen for a legit prospect. Why do all these lefties in the organization struggle throwing strikes?

I truly hope Bannister is s%*# canned soon. Poach any of the pitching development guys you can from Cleveland please.

Just have to keep developing hitters and then trade for starting pitching that’s already developed

The fact we are about to enter August and none of Schultz, Hagen, or Tanner have instilled any confidence in their ability to be major league pitchers is a massive concern. Throw in the complete Oppor meltdown and the ride range of injuries and it raises a lot of questions. Bannister feels like a guy who tries to get too cute and outsmart everyone. Changing Noah’s slider that was considered one of the best pitches in the minors is an example of that.

Always felt he was the guy everyone said was the smartest in the room, yet not necessarily deserved

Loving the pitching box score in Charlotte tonight so far:

Urquidy: 5 IP, 0 R, 2 H

Hagen: 1 1P, 0 R, 2 K

Mason: 2 IP, 0 R, 2 K

Dare I mention it again, but we do draft a lot of guys with funky deliveries and low slot. our 2 best pitchers drafted this century were low slot, but perhaps we are going to the well a bit often. Those guys often have control issues.

Shelton figuring it out perhaps?

Nice
Urquidy was pretty good a while, but got hurt and hasn't been the same. But that's a nice line tonight.
Looks like Mason's line was in -process.

Yeah, Mason decided to walk 3 guys in the 9th while up 6-0. Also gave up a hit. Luckily only gave up 1 run. Sorry for jinxing the pitching line.

This one is the most asinine.

Wow. Can you elaborate on what they did?
He sure hasn't seemed what I expected (even given rookie ups and downs)

Noah Schultz has a 6.04 ERA heading into tonight’s game against Max Fried and the Yankees, which will take place exactly a week ahead of the Aug. 3 trade deadline, as the first place White Sox hunt st

Oppor is the real deal Wild Thing. Just need to get him some glasses and he’ll dominate.

Just looking at Birmingham, we'll probably have a wave ready early next season at least offensively: Bonemer, Shelton, B. Smith. Some players move so fast these days.
We'll do what we do over the next week, but offseason is the time to sort that out (especially as the price for pitching is lower then). Friendly Boston seems to have an endless supply of young pitching, but no luck at all in the middle infield (except for the guy they traded to us).
