Very important outing for Barnes. Let's see if he continues his grooves from the last good one.

Pat Light is expected to come off the DL and start for the Drive today. Either Yunior Ortega or Jason Garcia will follow. Jose Colorado to Lowell is the countermove. Might not just be a paper move, as he was just 1 for 11 in four games. |

Very important outing for Barnes. Let's see if he continues his grooves from the last good one. Weekly reminder: despite the craptastic ERA, Barnes is rocking a 3.15 FIP on the back of elite strikeout numbers (12.15 K/9). His walk rate is up (3.60 BB/9) and the scouting reports have been less than glowing, but the rumors of his demise have been greatly exaggerated. |

Very important outing for Barnes. Let's see if he continues his grooves from the last good one. I'm more interested in RDLR than Barnes, in a way. He's been up and down this year, with reports of not looking very comfortable. The pitch/inning limits really make it hard to judge him, but the last few outings have been good, and I'd really like to see him with a string of consistently hitting the strike zone. Unlike pretty much every other starter at AA, Barnes has no chance of hitting Pawtucket this year, and has a full season to work on secondary pitches at AA. I'll be paying a lot more attention to him after the break, to see if he can 1) not wear down deep into a season and 2) dominate AA after a lot of hitters get called up to AAA/from A+. |

If Barnes pitches well enough to start 2014 at Pawtucket, he'll have a full season starting at AAA before he is even R5D eligible. He's got time to figure out each level, and as long as he doesn't go backwards like Stolmy, or have a lost year at a level like Drake Britton, he will be fine.

Note that RDLR's pitch count will be increased to 70/75 for tonight's start. Hopefully he can get through five?

In the early going he is looking like lots of guys who can throw pretty hard but can't exhibit control either in or out of the strike zone. I hope this perception, if accurate, is based on his continuing recovery from TJ. A guy that throws 93-95 without good location is the longest of shots. |

Rubby goes 56 seemingly impressive pitches (so much for that 70-75, maybe he got tired?), gives way to Chris Hernandez again in relief.

Iglesias not in the line up again. He's either hurt or really in the dog house.

Had to know Barnes would start pitching better when just two start ago batters had a BABIP of over .500 against him. Knew that wouldn't last.

Bard got through an inning without a run.
But it seems like it was ugly. 2 H, BB

Barnes is fine, and Brentz isn't a killer B. He's just a B.

But to actually answer the question, Brentz came out of yesterday's game after a collision. Bogaerts out today with "tightness in his core" whatever that means. My guess is he might've gone a bit too hard during a post- or pre-game workout and tweaked something slightly? I'm clueless here. Still better than the constant' "manager's decision" we're getting on Iglesias.

Not that this necessarily applies to Barnes, but high BABIPs aren't always a fluke. Within the context of major league baseball and pitchers who are good enough to be at that level, they usually are. But a pitcher who's totally overmatched and just getting straight up rocked is going to post a high BABIP too. |
