fathom Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 (edited) Madrigal not playing for Kanny. I don't remember hearing they were going to play him one game and then sit him 3 (as he goes to Kanny) Edited July 8, 2018 by fathom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reiks12 Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Will Rutherford get playing time at AA this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lillian Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 3 minutes ago, reiks12 said: Will Rutherford get playing time at AA this year? He just turned 21, in May. Maybe they should just see if he can continue to perform at this level. He is now at .300 with an OBP of .340 and driving in runs. The only thing missing is the power, but that should come. This is his first full season at Advanced A and he is now tied for 6TH in the League, for Average. He only had 30 games at that level, last season and they were pretty disappointing. I think that we should be very pleased with his progress. He is doing especially well, vs RHP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Covey implodes again Tuesday, swap them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Alec Hansen may be rounding into form, after a lead off homer, he’s been dealing. 4IP 4H (two super cheapies) 1R 4SO 0BB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 He just walked a guy, but through 5 now and throwing a lot of strikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember hearing they were going to play him one game and then sit him 3 (as he goes to Kanny) Hopefully they pulled the plug after getting hit twice, and today was just a travel day to Kannapolis. They’re facing a lefty having a good season tomorrow night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timmy U Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Interesting question: if Dunning were healthy, would Birmingham have a better rotation than the mlb club? I am not talking potential in the future, I mean right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy U Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Birmingham lost 1-0. That team is really slumping offensively. On the bright side, in addition to a good start by Hansen both Burr and Ruiz are throwing extremely well. I could imagine both going to Charlotte by the end of the year.

Between Hamilton, Burr, Ruiz, Johnson, and adding in Burdi - the Sox have a nice slew of arms to build a pen with. I'd even throw Vieira into that mix too.

fathom Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 This Madrigal stuff is odd...to me, seems he might be banged up if they don't know until game day if he can play https://mobile.twitter.com/SeanW1754/status/1016146203921141761 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would like to think that it wasn't but you never know. The last thing the Sox need is to have more top minor leaguers hurt and according to the tweets that followed Steele is hurt.
