Bradley Blalock with his second good start in a row. Went 5.0 innings (career high) for the second straight start and didn’t let up an earned run. Last two starts: 10.0 IP, 10 H, 2 ER, 1 BB, 6 K.

Brandon Walter is having a day. 6 IP, 1 H, 2 R (0 ER), 1 BB, 12 K. That’ll definitely work.

Lots of hard contact this inning. Don’t let this inning get away from you.

That’s a play you need to be able to make. Stole an assist from JD.

Luzardo isn’t a free agent until after the 2026 season. So that’s 5+ years of Luzardo for two months of Marte. Interesting move by the A’s.

Crawford’s line won’t look that good when all is said and done but the man has been absolutely SCREWED by some of the unluckiest plays I’ve seen on a baseball field. Lots of weak contact that somehow finds a way through.

No word on what it is, but the Woo Sox broadcast team said Hermann is out with an injury.

Tristan Casas & Jeter Downs for Trea Turner & Daniel Hudson Turner moves to 2B for the remainder of this year & next. Also, he would offer protection for a Bogaerts injury for a playoff run. Turner has 1 year of arbitration left & becomes a free agent after ‘22. Bogaerts has an opt out after ‘22 as well. So, it would be interesting at that time The Nationals would hang up the phone and rightfully so.

Day after the trade deadline. So they’re being held out of game action as a way to keep eyes off of them before the trade deadline? That seems odd. Why keep guys out of games for weeks when you can just say no if someone asks for them? Especially with the lost year, wouldn’t you want to get them the most playing time possible? I know these guys are doing field work and back fields stuff as long as they’re healthy, but still.

Not getting Fabian is disappointing. I like his potential. I feel like this may come back to bite him though. He’s taking a big risk. Get Hickey signed and hope that the bat is as good as some think.

Looks like Luis Perales was skipped again in the rotation. Still no Bleis (or Alvaro Meijas). It appears that Yordanny Monegro, the Blue team opening day starter, also has been skipped, and Rosario hasn't played since 7/20. I have a funny feeling these guys return on 7/31... Ok, I’ll bite. Why?

Blaze Jordan was removed from the FCL game with an injury after the opposing team tripled. No real way to know what happened. Collision at third or something like that. ADD: He’s apparently well enough to start in the second game today unless that’s a box score error. Game log for the first game had an opposing player triple, then a injury delay, and Jordan was removed from the game. Who knows what happened at this point. He's in the second game and still playing. Not sure what happened to him in the completion game from June. It wasn’t from the June game. They picked back up in the 5th inning and he was removed during the 8th inning.

This worries me. The idea of not signing one of your top 10 guys because you can’t get the money right is not a good look. Hopefully they’re able to get it done. That being said, if it’s down to one or the other I take Fabian every day. He has the upside at the plate but also has defensive value. Hickey isn’t a sure bet to stay at catcher and his defensive value in that situation is slim.

Jose Adames threw another scoreless outing in Worcester. Hasn’t let up a run in 6 appearances.

Jeter Downs is in a terrible slump and now hitting .201 for the Woo. He appears overmatched at that level presently. Is it time to send him 'down' for a bit? The 30% K rate and 67% contact rate are definitely not good, but he’s also running with a .154 average on balls in play in July. The struggles are real, but I’d let him play through it.

DHing Reed and Casas alternatively throughout the week is the easiest solution. My general issue is the overall playing time that’s going to happen on that roster. There’s going to have to be some type of movement even to make the roster numbers work, with Casas, Meneses, and Baldwin coming back. Too many guys that need playing time and not enough spots. Injuries will happen and they’ll make it work either way, but it’ll be interesting to see how it happens. Sending guys up to Worcester isn’t even a fix all because they’re already at a 5-man bench with two of their own position players coming back after the Olympics. There’s still six weeks or so of baseball after they come back.
Look, either way the teams will make it work like they always do, but it will be interesting to see what happens. Combine that with the cup of coffee promotions at the end of the season and there will continue to be some decent movement happening over the next couple of months. It’ll be fun.

Winckowski: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 ER (2 R), 1 BB, 2 Ks. Retired the last 16 batters he faced in a row.
Game ends with a walk-off home run by Tyreque Reed. Reed hasn’t slowed down a bit since his promotion. What happens when Casas comes back? Obviously Casas isn’t going to lose playing time to Reed, but Reed has also done nothing to show he should go back down to Greenville.

Liu’s situation is different than most other pitchers though. He’s had the back and forth of pitcher to position player to pitcher along with the pandemic. His stuff being down according to reports is concerning but he effectively gets a mulligan on this year for me. Just build back up and show progress. Next year is the important year.
