Ascencio struck out in the first and was replaced on defense. Not great.

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

I'll be at the Greenville vs WS Dash game in Winston tonight. Looking forward to seeing so many promising prospects! Anthony had quite a game last night.

Looks like the Red Sox signed LHP Zach Penrod from the Missoula PaddleHeads (Pioneer League) and assigned him to Greenville.

Zach Penrod has been clocked pitching at 98 mph this season.

He's also developed a reliable off-speed pitch, which makes it tough for hitters to dig in since they don't know what to expect.

Add in some good old-fashioned grit and you've got the most effective pitcher in the Pioneer League. The Missoula PaddleHeads' 26-year-old lefty boasts a 3.02 ERA, which is far and away the best in the league.

Why has he enjoyed such a big jump from his first two relatively average seasons in the Pioneer League with Boise and Billings? Simple: He's healthy and he's earned a master's degree in the school of hard knocks after bouncing back from Tommy John surgery and a minor shoulder procedure.

Penrod appears to be a fill-in SP in the Greenville rotation. With Bastardo on the dev list (likely just a skip), they had 3 real starters, plus DiValerio and Song who aren't really starters it would seem (Song's two outings were 2 IP, and I'm not sure if they're going to stretch him at this point of the season).

"We really don't need the whole commercial break/warm-up routine every time a new reliever comes into the game. It certainly made sense in 1884 when they only switched pitchers when the starter was attacked by pickaxe or caught consumption, and no reliever was warming up because he was busy gambling and drinking." - JD

He now uses 2 different sliders, one more horizontal, one more verticle.

Alright well please ignore the absolutely awful condensed title of the link, I promise if you follow it you’ll see Ted Williams (and the topic is relevant).
