Cannon out after 4.2IP 5ER. Probably deserved a better fate. Hunter Dollander came in with 2 outs and let both inherited baserunners score. The issue for Cannon against a line up as patient as this one is that he lacks a put away pitch.

Watching the difference between the Sox and Orioles at Hi-A is depressing. Every Oriole, even the np ones, gives a solid ab. They never get themselves out. Cannon hasn't been bad, but they've battled and got some key bloops, lead 3-0. Jackson Holliday hammered a double in his 2nd ab. It's really the only hard hit ball of the night for either team.

Also made a great diving catch.

Cannon has the start for W-S, featuring a lot of off-speed. Struck out Jackson Holliday in a 1, 2, 3 first.

Burke singles in his first A+ ab, keeps the on-base streak going.

Excited to see Elko and Burke in Dash unis tonight. Good for Tatum to go to AA post pre-tacked ball era. Adler is an interesting arm if he can continue to throw a reasonable number of strikes.

Glad TA is hitting 2nd again. The last thing you'd want is someone on base distracting Robert while he was trying to hit.

To introduce the entirely new front office team?

Charlotte, Birmingham, and Kannapolis are all off tonight.

DSL Sox lost 17-5. They gave up a 10-spot. 1-4 2b for Nunez. 2IP scoreless for Ysalla.

12 under. Can we please stop pretending this team is a contender?

Most Sox loss of all time.

Those strike outs are both starters.

Burrowes 2-2, bb, triple, 2 runs scored. Montgomery with a bb and 2 ground outs. 2 hits for Prado.

The bottom of this line up is really craptacular.

Gotta bunt here.

Two of the best hit blasts so far.

I’m not leaving, but nothing can get me back in to believing this team is a serious contender. LSU gives better at bats than the Sox.

I invite you to check the OPS’s of all of the Sox infielders.

I know nothing about him. Is he a prospect?

Man, Crews and Langford look so good. When Sox had high picks, they were in mediocre drafts. Sometimes, you’ve got to be lucky.

Sox weak farm system can only get one guy into the futures game. Sigh.

Eh, thought it was a reasonable puff piece. If he were hitting at all, no one would care one way or the other. I have always liked watching TA play and seeing him this bad is pretty heartbreaking, but I don’t really see a moral or psychiatric component to it. Maybe I’m wrong.

Kiley McDaniel has a new mock up in which he says Scott Boras seems to be pushing Crews to his old business partner the Nationals. He has zero intel on the Sox pick and hands them Tommy Troy for no reason after saying they're on Houck and Miller. Both are still on his board, but he gives them Troy. Make of it what you will. https://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/37914283/2023-mlb-mock-draft-kiley-mcdaniel-predicts-top-picks

Fisher has given up 6 runs, 3 earned in 2 innings. Pitching depth! Mena walked 5 in 4 innings, but he struck out 8. At least one of those walks was unearned after Hackenberg dropped a pop up.
