It's probably all Porcello can manage just to keep from collapsing with laughter. I just hope he gives up a hit pretty soon. I don't want Porcello's appropriate workload tonight altered by some "special circumstance." Be prepared to be disappointed, just in case

You simply cannot expect to win many games scoring 2.3 runs per game. Especially against a bad team. What? It's 2.3 runs per inning? PER INNING? That's OK, then. Don't forget the airtight defense too!

I don't get the A's. They have no farm either? Terrible team all around. Bean is overrated. I know he got bumped up. Thank god he never came here. Beanie does pretty good with the money he's got to work with. Try subtracting 100m from our roster.

Some pitchers must really fight for win #20. Porcello needs to stay awake.

Man, I almost feel bad for the A's. The beard doesn't seem to work for A's pitchers

Chatham hard contact, lo to left, deep fly to left Center warning track. Groome pitching in 3rd! Now done, 2 outs, 1 bb. Still looked good. Foul ball bounced off roof, almost struck Groome's aunt. 1 run charged to Groome.

2nd inning, go, fo, bb, er, go. Faced 3 rhb, 2 lhb. Probably done. Pretty good for hs facing college players.

G faced 4 lhb in 1st: lo, bb, bb, fo. SO against rhb. Consistently throwing away from lhb.

Groome's pitching first game.

Groome is listed as starting pitcher, presumably 2nd game opposite Sodders. Groome signing autographs prior to stretching. Has good frame. Thick arms

Is Groome going tonight? Spinners website says Shawaryn v. Sodders in game 1, TBD v. Funkhouser game 2. Groome v. Castellanos (Nick's bro?) listed for tomorrow. ADD: Lol, nvm. Drive 2hours to Norwich. Sure hope Groome is pitching one of the two.

If any one has reasonable confidence in when Groome pitches next, please let us know,

Ask Baltimore how smart it was to rush a hot prospect for a Sep callup at age 19.

When was the projected 2017 roster updated? It has Beni with Bos, but Leon as backup to Vazquez. Moncada in AAA. So I suppose this could have been sometime after Beni, Moncada, and Dubon were promoted to AA, and Leon was on what appeared to be a SSS hot streak. If it was done after Beni was called up, then Sandy should have been the starting catcher. So perhaps the expectation was that Beni was MLB ready when he was in Portland, but Moncada needed time in AAA, and nobody thought Dubon was on a Mookie trajectory? If Marco is on the MLB roster, then I would have Dubon in AAA. Marrero can be the org guy. If Kopech has really learned to mix his pitches, then his stay in Portland will be short.

Brentz, Tavarez and two guys in Lowell also got 3 hits, but Dubon is the gold standard. Ok, Chatham 2hr and 4 rbi is gold too.

And people thought the 13 draft was bust

Post by jchang on Aug 25, 2016 21:17:26 GMT -5
I suppose the plan is for Kopech to pitch his next turn in the rotation, but then skip the one after that to start in the playoff?

Jayce ( Daniel Nava II) Royce now up to .390 with 2 more hits tonight. He is at about 90 PA's at Salem now with another 45PA at Greenville, where he hit .378. When does it become not a short sample? I realize he is way too old for this league, but is it possible the guy can just flat out hit? Does anyone have anything on his background? Don't forget the hbp, that really boosted Nava's obp in 13.

I am not concerned as whether k or g is ranked higher, but I am inclined to think k is looking like a grade 6, a solid 3 starter.

Off night for Kopech. It took 7 while innings just to get 10 measly SO, ok, just kidding. I was skeptical earlier this year, thinking he was just a flame thrower, but he is pitching.

I see Lowell having 2 HR in 11st inning, wondering how Dalbec managed that. Then I see he is not in the lineup. Where is Dalbec? Greenville?

I've always been a Henry fan but considering the contract status of Wright, ERod, Price, Pomeranian and Porcello, it would be nice to see him establish some off-season trade value. There should be 7 viable starters going in to the year, one in long relief and one or two in AAA. Unless we get a great offer, we should keep Owens, and buch too.
