I guess they bat Campbell 7th because they know that's where the RBI opportunities are.

2-run single for Campbell after an error, a walk, & a groundout.

Jimenez single, another error to load the bases, & a bases clearing double for Eddinson Paulino...5-1.

On one hand, I'm fine never having to listen to all the terrible Bloom attacks again & it's quite possible they can hire a super smart guy who can do as good or better than Bloom.

On the other hand...our prospects are so fun.

Wikelman final line:

5 IP
3 runs
2 ER
5 hits
3 walks
1 WP
5 strikeouts
90 pitches, 48 strikes

Wyatt Olds pitched a 1-2-3 6th with a strikeout. 3-3 b6.
Olds allowed a 2-run homer in the 7th.

Dylan Spacke pitched a scoreless 8th & is back out for the 9th with Portland down 5-4.

Roman would be up 4th in the bottom of the 9th.

Nail pitched 2 scoreless innings with a walk & a strikeout. Cam Booser on for the 5th.
Booser allowed 2 unearned runs in 2 innings. Of course, they were due to his throwing error, so imo he still earned them.

AJ Politi is in for the 7th down 5-0.

Roman would be up 4th in the bottom of the 9th.
In 2 innings, Spacke allowed a hit, walked 2 guys & hit 2 guys, but no runs.

Dearden/Binelas/Erro due up for Portland in the 9th.

I wonder if they would hit Hickey for Erro? Probably a moot point with a lefty on the mound, but pretty sure Hickey hit a 3-run double off this guy the other day.

Another strikeout to end the inning.
Single, double play, strikeout in a quick 5th for Yordanny. He's thrown 78 pitches, so should be good for 1 more I would think if they want. They pretty much always take him out after 5, though.

They did not pinch hit for Erro. 1-2-3 inning to end the game without Roman batting again. 5-4 loss.

TEEL was 2-4 with a homer.

ROMAN was 2-4.

BLAZE was 2-4 with a double.

Binelas was 1-3 with a homer & a walk.

Yup, YORDANNY is done.

Maybe they'll let him pitch 6 innings a game in Portland next year (assuming the new GM doesn't trade him for a bag of balls).

YORDANNY final line:

5 IP
2 runs
6 hits
1 walk
7 strikeouts
78 pitches, 46 strikes

Rob Kwiatkowski is in. Vaguely reminiscent of the "wtf is Casey Cobb doing in the game" in game 1, but he's a bit better.

I think on my next iteration of the prospect rankings I'll add a "who acquired" tab. We'll see what the new guy's got.
