Johnson perfect thru four innings with 5 Ks.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Thru 5 with 7 K's

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

6/9

 

[nattysez]

He's been pulled. PC was low (74), so I'm surprised.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Regardless, what a fantastic outing

 

[Cuzittt]

Had three consecutive games with higher Pitch counts. Intentional plan to keep it lower tonight.

 

[Cuzittt]

Trey Ball went 5 1/3 innings, allowing 5 runs (3 earned) on 8 hits (1 HR) and 3 walks; striking out one.

 
Austin Meadows, taken 2 picks after Ball and someone half of the SOSH draft-geek contingent thought was a no-brainer pick for the Red Sox at #7, in the FSL: .307 / .385 / .403

 

[Marbleheader]

I have been following Meadows closely, I was certain the Red Sox would take him. Hated the pick and Ball hasn't done anything to prove me wrong. The guy pitching for Texas tonight was taken half a round after Trey. If they take another pitcher at #7 this year, I'll be disappointed.

 

[Buzzkill Pauley]

If the Sox hadn't struck gold in the first five rounds of that 2011 draft (Barnes, Swihart, Owens, Bradley, Betts), their decision to take Ball would be catching way more heat.

 

[StuckOnYouk]

What did Ball do to get a ticket to Salem at such a young age?
