Pito might not have a job to come back to...

6.2 IP 1ER 3H 1BB 6K for Nastrini. The run was on a solo shot in the first, he basically cruised for most of the start. Colas got pulled after getting caught snoozing off 1B. I guess he might have tweaked something trying to get back to the bag, but I lean towards an intentional benching for the lack of focus. Eder went 5IP 1ER 6H 2BB 6K. Three singles in the first to score the run. He mostly settled down after that, but did have some deeper counts (60/86 through 5).

Excellent start for Schweitzer. 6IP, 4H, 1ER on a solo shot, 1BB, 9K. Dash won 9-4. Dominguez also looked good, 6IP, 2H, 0ER, 2BB, 5K. Didn't give up a hit until the 5th. Knights won 8-1. Gonzo finished 4-4 with a HR, 4RBI, a walk, and a steal for the hell of it. He's up to .298/.402/.452. Wonder if we'll see him, Baldwin, and Montgomery promoted around the same time, or if they'll start shifting the Bham infield around a bit.

Gonzo just crushed one 400+

Quero breaks things up with a solo shot. Nice to see some RH power too.

Real pitcher's duel in the Bham game, both starters are through 3 perfect innings.

4 in BA's updated Top 100, including 3 top 50: 16. Colson Montgomery 30. Noah Schultz 45. Drew Thorpe 97. Edgar Quero

113.8 off the bat

5 scoreless for Pallette, 7K and no (!!!) walks. Nice to see him getting settled in.

Iriarte was cruising except for the 6th inning, his longest outing and some of the best control he's shown. Adler's AA debut was rough, seemed like he had some nerves. 1IP, 3H, 3R (2ER), 1BB, 0K. Two runs scored on a very wild pitch. Ramos picked him up with a HR to refortify the lead. He also had a double. Coffey's for closers sealed the 11-6 win. Well deserved first W for Iriarte.

Want to be more sad?

Well deserved promotion to AA for Eric Adler (though it sucks for WS to lose their closer). Schoenle promoted to AA as well.

Oof.

Since the White Sox outbid the Padres for the coveted services of Tommy Pham: White Sox: undefeated, averaging 7 runs/game Padres: winless, averaging 3.33 runs/game

Schultz done after 4IP, 3H, 2ER, 4K, 0BB (1HB). Around 50 pitches seems like an early hook, but I guess they're more concerned with innings than pitches for now. The runs were on a wall scraper solo shot and a leadoff double that came around to score on a flyout and groundout.

Mason Adams 2nd inning: strikeout, solo shot, solo shot, strikeout, solo shot, strikeout

Schultz facing a very right handed lineup today. He goes flyout, single, 2Ks in the first. Dash up 2-0 after 1 as Zavala (single) and Gonzo (double) score on a pair of errors in the home half. Easy 6 pitch second for Schultz on three routine contact outs.

Gameday is behind, Cousin got the 7th (his season debut). But Eder's 6IP, 4H, 2ER, 2BB, 8K was still very nice.

Go ahead HR for Ramos, Southern League is really screwed if they let him get hot too.

5IP 4H 1ER 2BB 6K for Batista. Had some deep counts and a little traffic at times, but handled it fine. The opposing starter was a very solid RHP prospect (Rays top 10, 1.13 ERA coming in) but he got chased early by a 4 run inning. Clevinger seemed to have a 60-65 pitch limit, and finished with 3.1IP 4H 1ER 2BB 3K. Iriarte just gave up his first ER after 4 consecutive full counts. The first 3 were walks to load the bases, and the last was a grounder that was a little too slow to turn two and end the inning. He finishes with 4.2IP 1H 1ER 5BB 4K. It's the first time he's had such a rough inning (0 walks in his last outing). I thought he got squeezed just a bit.
