Mayer is back for the final game of the week. Batting third and playing shortstop.

Tyler McDonough has slowly recovered from his big 0-fer to start the season to get to a solid .246/.345/.466 line with a K rate a hair better thanleague average.

Law needs to realize that putting out tags like that is just plain stupid when you have that big of an audience. No one is going to remember his weak caveat that it might be because he was just returning from injury. There will be someone out there who now believes it's true forever because they only hear or remember the headline.

Seabold with 11 K's through 5 innings. Is he back?

There will be someone out there who now believes it's true forever because they only hear or remember the headline. Counterpoint - the only reason you're even remembering it at all is because it was something negative about a prospect on your favorite team. I read the writeup before I saw the reaction to it here. It was fine. Certainly not worth making a whole thing out of it. If someone is really out there that will believe that it's true forever without also remembering the caveat, that's their fault, it's not Keith Law's job to cater to the dumb.

He just wants to be able to say I told you so if he’s right while also giving himself a way out of a bad take with the caveat.

I'd also remember it if it were something bad about a Yankees prospect. All Yankees fans who read that will believe it because they want to.

Salem broadcast makes it hard to tell where that ball went, but the OF didn't even try to chase it

Brainer 2-3 with 2 walks.
I am a simple man. I like the teenaged middle infielder second in a full season league in OBP @ .466.

Brainer got on again in the 11th on a grounder to the pitcher. He now leads the Carolina league in OBP.

I'm not sure if you realize how the world seems to work now, but that's 90% of the population that has the attention span of reading headlines and tweets.

How long until he's in Boston?

How long until he's in Boston? He certainly would seem a better option than brasier.

Mayer doubled three times in his return tonight. Bonaci reached base five times total.
It’s not necessary, but I wonder if there will be some movement in the Portland rotation. They already have a set five man rotation so they can either put Hart in the bullpen as a piggy back guy or use him to give guys a rest through the rotation. If they wanna move someone up, there are some options there too.

Here’s what Law actually said. Criticizing him for saying this is very lame:
“ His bat looked really slow on Tuesday, whether due to the wrist issue or the layoff, with five swings-and-misses on multiple pitch types and some late swings on average fastballs. The swing path is good and I’m assuming I just caught him on the wrong day”.
This is like me saying “I saw on the video that Brandon Walter gave up two long runs today, after another one earlier in the game I did not see.”

Lot of debate over a 2 word sarcastic post
tbh I don’t think Keith Law is very good at what he does so I take sarcastic jabs at him when I can. It’s that simple!

I don't know if it will line up the same the next time through but Seabold just pitched on the same day that the Red Sox big league club threw a scheduled bullpen game. Maybe next time Seabold can pitch the first 4 or 5 for BOS.
