I'm going to be in Phoenix all weekend, so not sure how much posting I'll be doing, but we should probably at least have a thread...

4:05 p.m.: AAA - Buffalo @ Worcester (TBD - BVB?)

6:05 p.m.: A - Carolina @ Salem (ERC)

6:30 p.m.: A+ - Greenville (Early) @ Greensboro

I assume it will be BVB for Worcester since he pitched game 2 (5 scoreless innings) & Gambrell, who pitched game 1, went today. It's interesting that they seem to be prioritizing some of these '23 draft picks with Duffy pitching game 1 for Salem & Early pitching game 2 for Greenville.

I might as well use this thread for this day's games. Was a rough day.

Worcester lost 10-6.

BVB (5 ER in 3.2 IP) & Hagenman (4 ER in 2 IP) got beat up.

Jacques allowed a run in 1.1 IP, lowering his ERA to 27.

Zack Kelly pitched 2 scoreless innings, but walked 3.

Greenville had a 5-0 lead on the backs of 2 really promising pitching performances in org debuts:

Connelly Early

4 IP
0 runs
1 hit
1 bb
6 k's

55 pitches, 36 strikes (65.5%)

& Cooper Adams

3 IP
0 runs
1 hit
1 bb
3 k's

48 pitches, 29 strikes (60.4%)

All to have it undone by a guy who I'm told is a prospect...

Reidis Sena allowed 3 runs in the 8th, & then for some reason was allowed to come back out for the 9th & allow 3 more runs without recording an out, leading to a 6-5 loss.

Sena's final line...

1 IP
6 ER
3 hits
2 bb
1 HBP
2 HR
3 k's
