Not a bad 1st start for Reyes after promotion. 5.2 innings, 0 Runs, 5 hits, 1 BB's , 4 K's. If he wins he'll be 31-5 in 4 Minor League seasons, counting DSL, and GCL, with a 2.05 ERA in his career.
Ockimey hit his 2nd for the PawSox, a 3 run HR, Dalbec got his 1st for Portland. 2 Run shot. Since Dalbec came up no Chavis. Hurt?
Denyi Reyes is Pitching for Salem so far so good, 2 hitter in the 3rd.
Yanks have 15 more straight games to play (including tonight), without a day off. Lot of work for those Pitchers. A couple of blowouts, and really works a BP. Probably why they put Gray in the BP. Might need innings from some guy.
Rain will do these guys in.
Funny that Smoltz said in yesterdays game that speed matters. It's a shame the game is going away from it. Put a lot more pressure on the Pitchers, at least for him.
Season is incomplete until its over. Post-season different animal. There is so many bad teams hard to determine, how good this team really is. 1 good series with the Yanks, is good, but it starts for me Post-Season.
Houck not a great game, but not bad either. 5 IP, 6 Hits, 2 BB's, 8K's. 2 ER's. He's now thrown 107 innings. Lot of innings, maybe scale him back. Maybe 5 more starts for him, before season end.
