scenario Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) Charlotte over Norfolk 6-5. Bourgeois had 3 hits and 2 RBIs. His batting average is up to .281. Pretty amazing given his rough start. Richar had 2 hits and reached the .250 mark. Loiza blew. Haeger gave up 5 hits and 6 walks in 5 innings but only gave up two runs. He got the win. Birmingham loses to Mississippi 6-5. Poreda gave up 6 runs in 6 innings... but here's the thing... his pattern this year has been to have a bad inning early in a game. Tonight he gave up 4 runs in the 1st and then was decent the rest of his outing. Cole Armstrong had 3 hits. He's been pretty hot lately. .351 in his last 10 games. Winston-Salem lost to Lynchburg 4-3. John Ely gave up 3 runs in 6 innings... a decent outing. Henry Mabee got promoted to W-S. He pitched pretty well in relief but took the loss. Estee Harris had 3 hits including a homerun. Kannapolis beat Greensboro 10-5. Kannapolis is warming up offensively. Dale Mollenhauer went 4-5. Christian Marerro went 2-4 with a homerun. Miranda went 2-5 and had 3 RBIs. His average at Kanny is now up to .298. Great Falls beat Missoula 7-5. Kent Gerst went 3-5. Looking very good so far. Jesus Avila went 2-5. Batting .355 Mike Grace and Doug Thennis hit homeruns. Daniel Hudson looking studly in his second start: 4 innings; 0 runs; 1 hit; 7 K's; 1 BB Bristol beat Bluefield 8-7. Po Yu Lin with a good start: 6 innings; 2 runs; 3 hits; 4 K's; and 1 BB. Offensive star of the game was RF Jordan Kendall who was 3-5 with 3 RBIs. C Kevin Dubler got his first hit tonight, in his second game since joining the team, and had an RBI. CF Brandon Short was 2-2 with a walk and an RBI.

Chisoxfn Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 QUOTE (fathom @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 07:46 PM) I was told Poreda was bad (6 innings, 6 runs) but 2008 draft pick Hudson was excellent (4 inning, 7 K) Rough first inning, but he picked up after that. The Sox are clearly working on a few things with Poreda and long-term it will really be beneficial for him. As long as he stays healthy I have no doubt he'll make an impact at the major league level, the question is whether he'll be able to develop the secondary stuff to become a starter of if he'll end up being a reliever. Regardless, he has a future in the bigs as long as he stays healthy. Hudson was one of many rock solid picks by the Sox. I hope the developmental people in the org can do there job because the past two years the Sox have actually started collecting some "raw" arms and now they'll need to teach and develop those arms. The system still has a long long way to go, but they had to start somewhere and I've liked the approach they've taken, although it still isn't perfect in my eyes (if they sign Upchurch and Danks I'll be a lot more pleased though, haha).

danman31 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 QUOTE (scenario @ Jun 26, 2008 -> 11:06 PM) CF Brandon Short was 2-2 with a walk and an RBI. And 4 stolen bases. Impressive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OilCan Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I'm not concerned with Aaron Poreda. As long as the folks in B'Ham and the Sox are saying that he's developing his off-speed stuff and he is "on schedule", it's fine with me. Does anyone have any info on the Upchurch front, as far as the Sox trying to sign him? Seems to be a quality arm based on what I've read here and BA...hope the Sox can get him signed.

NorthSideSox72 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Mabee was promoted, but Texeira is staying. So, will that mean that Mabee will be a setup guy for Tex, or will Tex be promoted too? Also, why is Po Yu Lin repeating Bristol? I know he showed up in ST in 2007 with disappointing velocity, but his numbers at Bristol were pretty solid. I'm kind of surprised he wasn't sent to Kanny.

The basic problem with Poreda in the 1st inning yesterday was command of the FB (two walks); in order to throw strikes, he had to take a little off (90 to 94 mph) and was aiming it. He was always behind in the count and didn't have a chance to use the offspeed stuff. After the 1st inning, he was able to establish the offspeed stuff (20 to 25 offspeed pitches for the game). He got several outs on change ups (Ks and pop ups) and a nice K on Kotsay with his slider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-S needs someone to replace Rote who was bumped up to B'Ham. They're probably looking at Mabee to be the closer in W-S next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
