YORDANNY lost his perfect game, allowing a single to lead off the 2nd.

But...
Strikeout
(Wild pitch) Fly out
Strikeout

Inning over.
The Mikey thing definitely takes some of the joy out of following Yordanny. & apparently for Yordanny, too.

3rd inning...

Strikeout
Flyout
Double
Walk
Double steal
2 run single, hitter thrown out at 2nd

Looks like Luis Ravelo just got injured during an at bat & was replaced by Melvin Alcantara.

Brandon Walter pitched 5 innings for Worcester tonight, 1 run on 3 hits, 2 walks & 1 HBP, 2 strikeouts.

Andres Nunez having an adventurous 6th after inheriting a 1-0 deficit.

Roman single made it 1st & 3rd with 1 out, but then whoever is actually in the game instead of Romero GIDP.

Just popping in to say that the return of the daily minor league threads is the best thing to happen on SoSH in a long time. Really brings me back to those glory days of ~2005. It also means we have something to hope on for the future! Thanks to all who make this thread happen on a daily basis.

Good bounce back from CJ Liu today. Like Dobbins yesterday, allowed a run in the 1st & then 0 more. A bit less efficient than Dobbins was so didn't make it 7 innings.

5 innings, 1 run on 2 hits & 2 walks with 7 strikeouts.

Wyatt Olds (#121) is in for the 6th up 3-1.

Just look at Portland’s roster that season and remember that the Sox were coming off their first title in 86 years and on their way to another playoff appearance that season. Life was gooood. Still is. But those were the glory days. Perennial playoff team + crazy good pipeline. Like current Dodgers or whatever. Only injuries prevented that team from going to the playoffs every year from 03-11. And beer / chicken.

I was a bit concerned when I scrolled down the roster (alphabetical) & saw nothing of too much note.

But then got hit with:

Lester
Papelbon
Pedroia
Hanley

I was definitely following the team, but wasn't as into the minors & wasn't around here.

That sustainable success is what they're building toward now & I think it kicks in next year.

Anibal Sanchez too. David Murphy. Brandon Moss. Craig Hansen. Delcarmen. Cla Meredith. I think that roster had a dozen guys or more who had a big league appearance, and like you said those guys with multiple all star appearances.

One last thought on 2005: it generated one of my favorite nicknames / user handles ever. Buzzkill Pauley. Because after Papelbon, Lester, and Anibal pitched in the rotation, it was a buzzkill on Pauley’s turn.

If we were in the glory days, Sterling Sharp would certainly have a nickname.

Much easier to post highlights now I'm sure.

Cruz struck out 2 that inning. The guy Lira threw out there reached on catcher's interference. I guess he was playing with his food or what have you.

Michael Valera (#248) pitched a 1-2-3 7th with 2 strikeouts (lowering his ERA to 8.14).

That's kinda scarier. Hope it's all good.
Back issues are the reason he missed the first two months of the season and didn’t get in a game until June 23rd, definitely concerning. Kind of chalk it up to a lost year at this point and hope he can get healthy.
