Assuming he can find the needle again
Thanks Kent is Pitching tomorrow in Hartford, and Sharwaryn is Pitching Sunday, plan on going to both games.
Watching Shaun Anderson pitch well in double a is so extruciating. And all we got was Nunez.
Desperate dave is so clueless!
That’s not my point. Boggs has been ripping the Yankee system yet has optimism that the stripped down and barren Sox system will blossom? It could happen, but it’d be blind luck rather than expectation at this point. The hypocrisy is deafening
Chavis got promoted to Portland, and Phillips starts his rehab for Lowell tonight.
A guy that I think is under rated is gorst. He is a reliever, but I like his stuff.
I think he has a chance to be a major league reliever.
Went to Portland game, I'll give Kent a incomplete, got hit hard in 1st inning, and a lot of loud outs. Might not have been his night. But he doesn't impress me at this point. Kid for Hartford, Garcia who they just promoted, impressed me more. Had better stuff. Pitched a heck of a game, in only his 2nd game he started for Double AA. 6 innings 3 hits, 7 K's, 0 Runs. Hartford won 5-0. In all honesty I liked the Kid in Lowell, Montero more than Kent. Kid has good stuff, for his age. Fastball at 95, with a hell of a change-up.
Lakins, gave up a run, a little erratic, with his control, but good fastball.
The whole Offense stunk, Ockimey got a Double, and that was about it. Chavis over-matched K'd 4 times in this game. Last night for Lowell was off too, and that is a much easier League. Work in progress, I guess.
Here's the write up, be going to game today too.https://www.milb.com/portland/news/h...ht/c-284747704

The good news is the reason the system is so weak is because of the trades and graduations that have made the #1 team in baseball right now. A farm is supposed to supplement the big league club, but make no mistake this system is very weak.
With that said, I'd be very very very surprised if anyone currently on the Portland seadogs roster ends up being an impactful MLB player. I think the team has some talented players who may contribute in a bench role, or out of the pen and there's nothing wrong with that. But the system is deviod of any blue chippers.
With that said, there's a lot of talent in the low minors that if they pan out could really strengthen the system in a few years.
Good to see you Hugh, kid down in Greenville, Reyes we should keep an eye on too. And Crawford too.
By the way Houck had a nice outing last night, he has been pitching much better the last Month. Last 30 days Opponents are hitting .208 against him. It's his control, and walks that are hurting him. Last night 7 innings 2 BB's, 5 K's, 1 Run, 4 hits. His ERA is down under 5 now.
Work in progress and patience. Progress as season goes, that's important.
By the way have you gone to new Park in Hartford? I know you went a lot to the New Britain Park. Only 10 minutes difference for me. Its beautiful.
Yard Goats got a SS that is real good, should go see him. Brendan Rodgers, think he's in the Futures Game, SS of the future, for the Rockies.
Senators got a real stud coming up at SS Kieboom. Probably move Turner to 2nd.
