8/23/2023 - BEAR CLAW's Quest

[JM3]

Agreed. The whole starter thing clearly isn't working great. I think he has some mechanical stuff he needs to clean up, too.

Portland cuts deficit to 6-5.

Meidroth double, Hickey walk, Blaze single, Binelas triple.

[JM3]

Oh, C Note did this...

[JM3]

Liu pitched 1.2 innings & allowed 6 runs on 6 hits & a walk, striking out 1. His ERA is now 5.51.

Sterling Sharp is in for the long relief.

I guess not that long. He lasted 2 innings...1 run, 2 hits, 4 walks & 4 strikeouts. Only 25 of Sharp's 54 pitches were strikes.

Theo Denlinger got the last out of the 4th.

 

[JM3]

Karson Simas pinch hit for Eddinson Paulino in the 2nd & stayed in at SS. Not sure if something happened to Paulino...

 

[JM3]

Song allowed a leadoff single, but got out of the inning unscathed, including a strikeout to end it.

 

[JM3]

C Note is up with runners on 2nd & 3rd, 2 outs, down 1-0. He's 0-2 with a strikeout so far today. They are taking out their lefty starter after 4.2 scoreless & bringing a righty in.

Call the national guard!

Oh, sorry, that was Shannon Sharp(e)

After fouling off a pitch that looks like it would have hit him, the pitcher actually hit him.

Valdez walked in the tying run.

Here's the C Note PA.

 

[JM3]

Elvis allowed 3 in the 3rd, but in the bottom of the 3rd, back-to-back 2-out triples by Lyonell James & YUTE, followed my an Alcantara single, gives Salem a 4-3 lead.

 

[JM3]

Song allowed a leadoff single, but got out of the inning unscathed, including a strikeout to end it.

Song pitched a 1-2-3 3rd & is back out for the 4th.

 

[JM3]

I was trying to figure out the reference to the Green Bay WR, & couldn't so I thought maybe you meant to quote a Noah Song post. But that makes sense.

 

[JM3]

Alex Binelas hit his 14th homer, cutting Portland's deficit to 8-6 in the 5th.

 

[JM3]

Song pitched a 1-2-3 3rd & is back out for the 4th.

Song also pitched a 1-2-3 4th.

I am not that clever. Obviously.

[JM3]

Song also pitched a 1-2-3 4th.

I would have thought that would have been a good stopping point about 70 pitches in, but he's back out for the 5th & allowed a lead off double.

A flyout + a groundout scored the runner.

I was just typing up Song's 5 inning stats...& then they changed it to Rob Kwiatkowski pitching the 5th which makes a lot more sense...

Speaking of double + flyout + groundout = run, Salem just did this to take a 2 run lead.

Jhostynxon had the lead off double & is 3-3 so far today. Seems to be doing much better since his brother joined the team. Will look into that in a minute.

 

[JM3]

So anyway, Song's final line was 4 IP, 1 run on 3 hits & 2 walks, 1 strikeout.

69 pitches, 41 strikes.

 

[JM3]

Elvis Soto done after 3.2 innings, 3 runs, 2 earned, 4 hits, 1 walk & 5 strikeouts.

Luis De La Rosa finished the 4th & has allowed a run so far in the 5th.

 

[JM3]

Greenville is 2-19 with 10 strikeouts & down 2-0 headed to the bottom of the 6th.

 

[JM3]

Yu Chang has 2 of Worcester's 3 hits & they're losing 2-1 in the bottom of the 7th.

 

[JM3]

I guess not that long. He lasted 2 innings...1 run, 2 hits, 4 walks & 4 strikeouts. Only 25 of Sharp's 54 pitches were strikes.

Theo Denlinger got the last out of the 4th.

Denlinger pitched 2.1 innings & allowed 1 run on 3 hits & 1 walk, striking out 4.

Brendan Celluci came in for the 7th & struck out the side.

 

[JM3]

Elvis Soto done after 3.2 innings, 3 runs, 2 earned, 4 hits, 1 walk & 5 strikeouts.

Luis De La Rosa finished the 4th & has allowed a run so far in the 5th.

JOHANFRAN caught a guy stealing to help mitigate the damage, though.

 

[JM3]

I assume BEAR CLAW is done after 7 innings & 91 pitches. If so...

7 IP
2 runs
5 hits
2 walks
2 strikeouts

91 pitches, 62 strikes

He's gotten the win in every start he's made for Worcester this season, so they'll have to score at least 2 in the top of the 8th to keep that streak going.

Kwiatkowski also allowed a run in the 6th.

If he was just a bit worse & I was just a bit meaner, I would call putting him in the game "Kwiat Quitting".

Valdez double
Dalbec strikeout (he's been pretty bad for a bit now I think...demoralized by no trade at deadline? I'll check the #s in a bit)
Chang single

1st & 3rd 1 out, Hernandez up.

Glad I didn't do this, yet... he just hit a 2-run homer.

7-4 Salem.

Bonaci & Yorke struck out. Up to Meidroth.

Meidroth came through. Game-tying double.

Nick Robertson in for the 8th. No decision for Bear Claw.

 

[JM3]

Karson Simas pinch hit for Eddinson Paulino in the 2nd & stayed in at SS. Not sure if something happened to Paulino...

One piece of housekeeping - Simas actually came in to play 2nd & Coffey moved to SS.

Still no idea what happened to Paulino, though.

 

[JM3]

Denlinger pitched 2.1 innings & allowed 1 run on 3 hits & 1 walk, striking out 4.

Brendan Celluci came in for the 7th & struck out the side.

Cellucci (proper spelling) allowed a hit by no runs in the 8th.

The...ball-curious (?) relief pitcher Ryan Zeferjahn is in for the 9th. He walked the lead off hitter.

 

[JM3]

Nick Robertson in for the 8th. No decision for Bear Claw.

Robertson pitched a 1-2-3 8th. C Note due up 3rd in the top of the 9th.

Narciso Crook single & Blizzard triple gives WooSox a 3-2 lead.

C Note got hit on the 7th pitch of the PA. This is the 3rd time in 2 days.

Kwiatkowski also allowed a run in the 6th.

If he was just a bit worse & I was just a bit meaner, I would call putting him in the game "Kwiat Quitting".

Brock Bell pitched 2 scoreless innings with 1 hit & 2 strikeouts.

Greenville down 3-0, top of the 9th, Roman leading off.

Zeferjahn then threw a wild pitch. He struck out the next 2 batters, but then allowed an rbi single.

He struck out his 3rd batter of the inning to end it. If that guy could control his stuff he would be pretty pretty good.

But Portland lost 9-8.

Binelas was 2-5 with a triple & a homer (14).

Blaze was 3-5.

Meidroth was 2-5 with a double.

McDonough was 2-3 with a walk & a triple.

Rosier was 1-3 with a double & a sac fly.

Hickey & Bonaci were each 1-4 with a walk.
