Looks like these guys are the Roman/Teel/Zack Kelly replacements in Greenville:

09/05/23 Greenville Drive activated OF Kier Meredith.
09/05/23 Greenville Drive activated C Matt Donlan.
09/05/23 Greenville Drive activated RHP Joey Stock.
09/05/23 Greenville Drive activated RHP Maceo Campbell.
Maceo Campbell is semi-interesting, but in general a couple promotions would have been more fun.

Fortunately I went a bit unhinged on the rotations last week, so it should be pretty quick this time:



Tuesday - BVB
Wednesday - Drohan (Gomez 1.2)
Thursday - Gambrell
Friday - Mosqueda/Murphy
Saturday - Bear Claw
Sunday - BVB

So while thinking Drohan is next makes a lot of sense from a historic perspective, I think it makes sense to go back to a 6-man rotation & getting everyone an extra day makes sense. Unless they're straight shutting Drohan down or something, but I think getting more work & trying to continue to work through things should be good. So I neither fault SoxProspects for their prediction, or the Red Sox for going this route.
Drohan to developmental list which makes room for Guerrero.

Also, this has to be the least inspiring group of starters since I started these daily threads...

Gomez
Liu
Kwiatkowski
Kelly

Kelly is kinda fun because he's a MLB pitcher & all, but there's not a lot he can do in his inning or two of A-Ball which has the potential to inspire.

Roman strikeout in his 1st AA AB.

CJ Liu continues to struggle. Starts the game with a single & a 2-run homer (& then a walk).

6 runs in the 1st so far...

Fun that 3 were on a Pedro Martinez homer, though?

Technically only 2 of the 6 were earned as Tyler McDonough made an error ar 3B. It's a bit odd that they're playing him at 3B & Meidroth at SS, but I guess it's going to be not great regardless with Bonaci & Mayer out.

The only starter not to allow at least 1 run in the 1st was the inimitable Rob Kwiatkowski (1-2-3 inning with a k).

Fogell walked the 1st hitter, but induced a GIDP to end the inning.

Zach > Zack

Kwiatkowski lost his perfect game & his no hitter on a single, but pitched through a 2nd scoreless inning & picked up his 2nd strikeout.

Allan Castro doubled, got to 3rd on a wild pitch, & scored on a Bryan Gonzalez to get MiLB Sox on the board.

Still losing 11-1. But Greenville is winning 1-0.

Fogell pitched 1.2 innings with an unearned run, a walk & 2 wild pitches.

Jose Ramirez came in & pitched a 1-2-3 3rd & should hopefully be in for a while.

Teel got called out on strikes on the 7th pitch of the AB. I'll just assume it was umpire error.

CJ Liu's final line was 3.2 innings, 6 runs, 2 ER, 6 hits, 3 walks, 1 WP, 4 strikeouts.

Cody Scroggins got the last out of the 4th in his 1st game since August 5th with Salem, & his 1st game for Portland since April 18th.

He was a 2019 9th rounder.

The Kwiat Assassin lost the shutout on a lead off homer in the 3rd.
Despite the far superior nickname, they took Kwiatkowski out after 2.2 innings, 1 run, 2 hits & 2 strikeouts to bring in Jordan DiValerio, who allowed a solo homer to the 1st hitter he faced before getting out of the 3rd

Hey, you can't have everything
It's crazy that if you include the Kwiat Assassin Greenville has three 26 y/o starting pitchers, but he's not nearly as interesting as Penrod & Song.

(using the nickname as often as possible while he's still in the org)

Their other 3 starters are 20 (Perales), 20 (Monegro) & 22 (Rogers).

I just read a little about Penrod. You have to respect the dude's perseverance.
