Caleb Hamilton came up with the bases loaded & no outs, but GIDP, which scored a run, but then Christian Koss grounded out to end the game.Fitzgerald triple + Zimmer double to cut Worcester deficit to 4-2 in the 9th.
Cepeda pitched a 1-2-3 9th with a strikeout to get the save & lower his ERA to 0.95.We covered Kelly's scoreless inning & YORDANNY'S 5 scoreless innings.
Then Rob Kwiatkowski pitched 2 scoreless innings & Felix Cepeda is on for the 9th with a 3-0 lead.
Mosqueda allowed 3 runs in 2 innings of opening (I told them to open a righty).I guess we'll end on the good note, so let's cover the Worcester game 1st, & then I'll find some highlights.
I was just about to c&p that part when I saw your edit lolArticle on Fangraphs comparing the defense of SS prospects.

Here is the blurb on Mayer:
“ Marcelo Mayer, Boston Red Sox
Mayer has been out since August 2 with soreness in his non-throwing shoulder. Portland manager Chad Epperson told The Athletic two weeks ago that Mayer was seven to 10 days from a return, but that has proven to be optimistic. The tape he put down prior to the injury is encouraging, though. I had Mayer evaluated as less likely to stick at shortstop than many of the others analyzed here, but while he still has some issues, his actions should enable him to do so. His hands are fantastically quick and skillful, and this is most evident on double play attempts when he’s either starting things or acting as the pivot man. Mayer is also a much more natural low-to-the-ground athlete than either Holliday or Merrill, and he looks much more comfortable backhanding balls in the hole, though he doesn’t always have the arm to finish that play and his range is a shade below average.”
Worcester had 7 different players with 1 hit each. Fitzgerald's was a double & Zimmer/Koss/Chang had doubles.Mosqueda allowed 3 runs in 2 innings of opening (I told them to open a righty).
Chris Murphy came in & pitched 4 scoreless innings with 2 hits, 2 walks & 5 strikeouts.
Justin Garza allowed a run in 2 innings.
Cam Booser pitched a scoreless 9th with a walk & a strikeout.

"Solid" sort of undersells it
Their continued YORDANNY hesitancy (#29) will be a source of embarrassment for years to come."Solid" sort of undersells it
Why do you think they're so slow to come around? My Danny is clearly pretty damn good.Their continued YORDANNY hesitancy (#29) will be a source of embarrassment for years to come.
They seem really slow to act on pretty much everyone in both directions... with the exception of Johanfran who they rushed up the rankings crazy fast.Why do you think they're so slow to come around? My Danny is clearly pretty damn good.
Yep, there is just a whole lot to like about this kidThey seem really slow to act on pretty much everyone in both directions... with the exception of Johanfran who they rushed up the rankings crazy fast.
Not sure if it's by design & they feel like you shouldn't overreact to small sample sizes, but I'm not sure how they don't feel the electricity.
He can throw it 96 with some carry & he's 20. I think his fastball will be ok.I wonder if they want to see more from his FB before getting excited?
My thoughts go out to you and your family.Thx! Found my father-in-law dead in his house on Monday. Just spent many hours trying to sort 20 years of hoarded paperwork. Been a weird week.

i would think the concern has to be his arm motion. That’s a pretty violent whip. He’s electric for sure though.
That’s awful, my condolencesThx! Found my father-in-law dead in his house on Monday. Just spent many hours trying to sort 20 years of hoarded paperwork. Been a weird week.
