August 2, 201411 yr QUOTE (Ozzie Ball @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 04:33 PM) Scoreboard Charlotte - Wang Birmingham - Blough Winston-Salem - Brennan Kannapolis - McKenzie Great Falls - Thompson AZL - Adams Is it BLAUGHW? Or you blow, Blough! from hecklers?
August 2, 201411 yr After starting off 0-2, Avisail has had 3 consecutive hits stemming from yesterday. Edit: now another hit. He is 2-3 so far. Edited August 3, 201411 yr by SoxAce
August 3, 201411 yr I believe I was the only person to put Omar Narvaez in my midseason top 30, he's starting to get really interesting to me. Came into tonight hitting .321/.431/.440 with Winston-Salem, he's 1-1 with a double and a walk tonight. Between Kanny and WS, hitting .303/.373/.365. 26 walks and 20 strikeouts. Just needs some power. He's thrown out 45% of runners in the pros. Not much info on his receiving.
August 3, 201411 yr Micah 0-3, walk Semien 1-3, walk Avisail 2-4 Phegley 2-4 Wilkins 1-2, 2 walks Michael Taylor 2-3, double Kevan Smith 1-3 Cleuluis 1-3 Hawkins 0-2, walk Narvaez 1-2, double, walk Engel 2-3 Trey 1-2, double, walk Brett Austin 1-2, walk
August 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 06:51 PM) Avi 3-5, with one of his outs being a line out to 3rd. How soon do you think he'll be back in the Sox lineup ?
August 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (CaliSoxFanViaSWside @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 02:15 AM) How soon do you think he'll be back in the Sox lineup ? I hope they take their time with him, unless they let him play DH. If not, he should be down there at least 2 weeks.
August 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 3, 2014 -> 03:20 AM) Spencer Adams 1.0 IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 1K Have there been any reports from the AZL about his velocity?
August 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 09:23 PM) Have there been any reports from the AZL about his velocity? Jay Hashop @sevenfuturehit 11m Okay. Spencer Adams has an arm. Jay Hashop @sevenfuturehit 8m Spencer Adams B1: FB 93-94 T95 flashes late jolt, SL/CT thing 86-88 can really swerve. Yikes. Lucky those were in the past 10 minutes or so because there's a role-playing account on Twitter called Spencer Adams and any time I look for anything on the pitcher I have to scroll through about 813 messages from some fat old dude to some other fat old dude role-playing as his wife.
August 3, 201411 yr Adams 2.0 IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, 2K Jay Hashop @sevenfuturehit 1m Spencer Adams down to 90-93 in B2, but he picked up another swinging K and got a double play to erase Ibandel Isabel's hit.
August 3, 201411 yr Adams with 3 strikeouts in the third, 3.0 IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 5K. Kid is so legit. Jay Hashop @sevenfuturehit · 4s Not a fan of how short Adams gets with his arm and his lack of extension in stride, but there's a ton of pure arm speed and good movement. Jay Hashop @sevenfuturehit · 19s It showed more downward break and he threw it at 84 last inning, so I'm calling it a slider. A damn good one. Jay Hashop @sevenfuturehit · 30s I don't know whether Spencer Adams calls his high-80s pitch a slider or a cutter, but when it's on, it's near unhittable. Edited August 3, 201411 yr by Feeky Magee

August 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 09:58 PM) lol wut? People set up Twitter accounts to role-play, basically playing a character and interacting with other people pretending to be their friends/rivals/lovers etc. One of them has named himself Spencer Adams (a UFC fighter married to a fitness trainer), and every time I try to search Twitter for updates, every goddamn one of his mentions shows up in the search. Scroll down https://twitter.com/search?f=realtime&q...ms&src=typd Meanwhile, the non-UFC fighting Spencer Adams is 4.0 IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 7K.
August 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 10:05 PM) Spencer Adams is 4.0 IP, 2H, 0R, 0BB, 7K. I know it's early but I so love that draft pick.
August 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (DirtySox @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 10:12 PM) I know it's early but I so love that draft pick. Without a question a top 10 prospect and could be our top pitching prospect as soon as next year once Rodon graduates.
August 3, 201411 yr Hopefully someday Adams is one of those guys picked in the 30-50 range that teams just kick themselves for not taking.
August 3, 201411 yr Alan @ProfessorFog 11m @johnmanuelba Can I be excited about Spencer Adams yet? Reply Retweet Favorite Delete John Manuel @johnmanuelba 5m @ProfessorFog loved him pre-draft. Some scouts thought we were high on him but we had him in 1st rd. @Clint_BA a big believer. Reply Retweet Favorite Delete

August 3, 201411 yr QUOTE (Feeky Magee @ Aug 2, 2014 -> 10:20 PM) Adams 5.0 IP, 4H, 0R, 0BB, 9K 40 strikeouts and 2 walks in 27.2 IP. Ridic. I loved the Spencer Adams pick at the time and I love it still. Any chance he will get promoted to Great Falls soon?
