Monegro through the 5th on a groundout and two swinging Ks. Wonder if that's it for him, he hasn't gone more than 5 innings this year.

TEEL singled & is 3-3, but they didn't score any more runs that inning.

Monegro through the 5th on a groundout and two swinging Ks. Wonder if that's it for him, he hasn't gone more than 5 innings this year.

Probably... he's 76 pitches in.

[JM3]

He looks kinda tired there & took his hat off.

 

[Manzivino]

Nathaniel Cruz in for the 6th, Monegro is in fact done for the night

 

[JM3]

Nazzan was pinch hit for & so will end his A-Ball debut going 1-2 with an RBI.

I'm guessing Anderson will be pinch hit for next inning.

ERA down to 2.43.

Dalton Rogers allowed his 1st hit to lead off the 4th, but that apparently angered him & he decided to strike out the next 3 hitters.

Rogers seems to have worn down some in the 5th.

He's had a 5.2 inning & 6 inning outing this season. Seems like he probably should be done while this is still an outing to build on, but we shall see. He's thrown 78 pitches.

Blaze singled. Tyler McDonough ran for him & somehow scored on a throwing error by the catcher to tie the game at 4 in the bottom of the 8th.

This is how.

Yordanny has such strong closer energy, if he can sustain it through a starter’s workload that will be amazing.

He will likely trigger his fair share of tension/bench brawls, however. The K cellies are guaranteed to result in some serious HR-admiring, for example.

But he’s young, by the time he’s in Boston, Bello will be the vet teaching him to play it a little cooler.

I feel like he may be the type to not GAF if the opponent wants to admire it nearly as much as he would hate allowing it. But either way, it will be fun.

Natty Cruz has 4 strikeouts in 2 scoreless innings (plus a hit, a walk & a hbp).

Jonathan Brand struck out 2 & hit a guy in a scoreless t8.

Yeah if he has the rep as just a quirky guy who’s really doing it for himself and the pure love of pitching and striking guys out (and doesn’t start beaning guys for giving it back when they get hits off him) then it’ll all be in good fun.

Baseball is filled with fun weirdos.

Stock did in fact pitch a scoreless 6th.

& a scoreless 7th. Since that 1st hit, he retired the next 6 hitters, striking out 4 of them.

Greenville started the top of the 8th with a Paulino single, a Decker single getting him to 3rd & a Decker steal. 2nd & 3rd 0 out.

Why am I posting so much? Probably because I should be finishing this Motion.

Gilberto grounded out to 2nd, force out at home.

Brand pitched a 1-2-3 9th with a 3rd k.

Tied at 1, bottom 9.

 

[JM3]

Lead off single for Asigen. He's really trying hard to make up for being solely responsible for the other team's only run of the game.
