Pawtucket outpitches the Barons to retake second
place by 1/2 game.
The Korean arsenal in the Pawsox pitching staff controlled
the pace of this game. The Barons jumped out to an early
2-0 lead on a Chris Pritchett single. After that, it was
simply all Pawsox. They battled back with 2 in the 2nd,
and scored 1 more in the 3rd on Kenny Woods' outfield
blunder. The Barons were maybe a little cocky after their
seven game winning streak. They were thrown out stealing
many times throughout the game, and also failed to deliver
in clutch situations. No matter, there's still two more
games at good ol' McCoy.
ARKANSAS BLAST? NO SUCH LUCK!
No blasts today for SWB, but Freddy Garcia nailed one for
the Pawsox. Too bad we have to let the rehab warriors have
their time, otherwise we might have had a chance. Such is
the life of a minor league ballclub!
ERA DROP ALERTS!
None for Brantley, but Thomas and Boyd didn't pitch all
that bad. Here are their ERA drop alerts:
Thomas 6.41 -----> 5.84
Boyd (rehab warrior) 2.70 -----> 2.08
As a side note: Phillies' pitcher Amaury Telemaco cleared
waivers and was assigned to the Red Barons today. He is
expected to join the starting rotation.
Hmmm.. I was just thinking about something. Pat Burrell + Chris Pritchett + Barry Johnson = SEAN FESH! Coincidence? I think not.
