19th inning.

 

Crazy, crazy game. :)

 

Man at this rate, guys like Short, Gilmore, etc.. will return back to normal average wise. Geez, alot of 0-for or 1-fors with all the accumulated ABs.

Hate to say it, but your boy Blackwood has been awful. 0-8... 6 SO he also has a throwing error on a pickoff attempt that nearly cost W-S the game.

 

Good news is W-S tied the game again 3-3 from Justin Greene's single earlier in the 14th I believe. :)

 

 

Don't forget the two times he did catch a runner stealing "that throw was beautiful, by catcher, Chase Blackwood" i believe were the exact words used by Alex Vispoli to describe the throw to 2nd base for the first CS. I have been listening to the game from the very beginning, i KNOW he's suckin it up offensively ..i'm not retarded :) ...but he's doing fine defensively DESPITE the error.

You are correct. BTW, he is up with runners on 2nd and 3rd 2 outs in the 20th inning. :D

 

HOLY s***! BLACKWOOD WINS THE GAME! 4-3 20 innings! They are celebrating like crazy!

 

1-9 for Blackwood.... and he makes his first hit in a Dash uniform count.

Kyle Shelton did it all. He played 2B, LF AND pitched for the Dash.

 

1 IP 1 H 0 R.

 

Not to mention went 3-8, HR, RBI, 2 R BB, (though 4 SO) Nice job all around for the kid.

 

 

absolutely! great job by all the guys ..they all deserve a good nights sleep for sure!

DASH WIN 4-3 in 20 innings! CHASE BLACKWOOD WITH A WALKOFF SINGLE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

The term walkoff single always makes me laugh, because it seems so...unimpressive but at the same time, impressive.

 

Congrats to Blackwood.

I know what you meant. I don't believe Jordan Danks was the hold up in any proposed deal with the Padres. Like I said the other day, I just hope word of his supposed stellar defense has gotten out around the league.

He's making adjustments to his swing, much like Flowers, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that he is struggling. I'll be more interested to see his splits throughout the season and see if he gets a better feel and starts raking again.

He may be making adjustments, but he is just having a terrible season. No other way to describe it. He is showing no power despite playing in a bandbox of a ball park. He is showing an atrocious K-rate. And he has a sub-.700 OPS. I know I have become somewhat of a curmudgeon when it comes to White Sox prospects, but Danks will never amount to anything more than a replacement-level player in the Major Leagues.

One more appearance and he's gone.

 

Actually, I bet he'll be sent packing in about 10 days when OF Miguel Negron is eligible to come off suspension. Charlotte needs another outfielder with De Aza on the DL.

I didn't even realize Gregory Infante is closing now. Pretty good season for the Dash.

 

I'd like to see Bellamy up in Birmingham soon too. He's got that side arm thing going.

W-S is going closer-by-committee: Infante, Remenowsky, and occasionally Bellamy. The combined line of those three relievers in that 20 inning affair: 7 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 9 K.

 

One of Bellamy or Remenowsky will get promoted to AA during the season, I'd bet on it.

 

I wish I knew more about Infante's stuff - kind of surprised they converted him from starter last year to closer this year.

All I know is the sox really, really like Infante's arm. I think they want to put him back to a starter in the future, but doing the Nate Jones route to work on his command.

 

I also think Carter from the Barons might have found his calling as a reliever instead of a starter. Supposedly he is really bringing it as well, though JPN can probably confirm that better.
