Felix allowed a lead-off single & Johnathon Thomas's 52nd steal, but no runs in the 1st.
Felix has clearly been miscast in his career as crappy reliever & has found his calling as an opener. 1-2-3 2nd.

C Note single.
Ok...apparently Worcester updated their lineup & GameDay didn't have it yet.

They now show a different lineup which includes Yu Chang batting 2nd & playing SS...

Reyes, but that makes sense, thx. Not as much sense as Chang or Arroyo probably, but oh well.
I wonder if they feel like those 2 are like checked out now? Chang feels like he would make the most sense, but oh well. Maybe they feel like Blizzard provides more emergency outfielding coverage.

Infield in seems like an odd choice in the 2nd inning with runners on 2nd & 3rd, 1 out.

Dean pitched a 1-2-3 3rd & 8 of the 11 pitches were strikes!
Dean walked the 1st hitter of the 4th. The control didn't last long. He did pick that guy off, though.

Neither Chang or Arroyo are currently on the 40 is the simplest explanation

Noah Dean made it a 3-walk inning, but got out unscathed.

This inning was 29 pitches, 14 strikes.

& then Gambrell walked the bases loaded.
Ground out to get out of the jam.

Gambrell has pitched 5 scoreless innings in his AAA debut so far. Has thrown 72 pitches.
