If they had a real first baseman there, he makes the play.
Bad luck, bad defense, bad bullpen.

Too little and too late. And Maybe more too little than late.Trevor Story is making his way back
I mean he is, but he's not gonna save us.
Bryan Gonzalez is quietly putting up some nice power numbers in high A ball
17HR
49RBI
.809 OPS
All of this in 260 at bats.

Salem or Greenville ARE THE 2 A League teams Portland draws from depends on what WOR/BOS need..... no starters named yet in Binghamton or at Polar yet.... even though both teams won last night.... Pivetta starts the grueling jaunt to BAL/HOU tonight

Why a six-inning minimum for starting pitchers could rock MLB -- and is more realistic than you might think
Could one big rule change make starters stars again and inject offense into the game?
Could six-inning minimum starting pitcher rule come to MLB?
THE PRIMARY GOAL of a minimum-innings rule would be to immediately restore the prestige of the starting pitcher. Fans would be able to tune in to a game knowing that he would be on the mound for the majority of it.... MLB acknowledges that adding such a rule would not be as simple as forcing every starter to pitch at least six innings every time out -- exceptions would have to be included.
The objective is to prioritize starting pitching, not to leave a struggling starter in to reach the innings threshold while his ERA skyrockets or at the risk of injury. So the league's conversations have included carve-outs, instances when pitchers would not have to pitch the required six innings. Some instances when a starter would be allowed to leave early might include:
He throws 100 pitches
He gives up four or more earned runs
He gets injured (with a required injured list stint to avoid manipulation)
Outside of those exceptions, pitchers would have a mandate to make it through at least six innings. That would force teams to rethink their pitching staffs to meet the new standards. ...

I get the sentiment, but this is not an improvement.
NOTHING yet as to who starts in Binghamton for Portland tonight; if the weather clears in Worcester (see the OT thread) Hagenman starts there and Jack Edwards will make an appearance tonight @ Polar.

yeah I know.
And I mean…too little..because he’s Trevor story. Good chance even when healthy he doesn’t move the needle to the extent the team needs.
The only thing he can probably provide is good defense. Had we not had any errors last night, we win. It cannot be over stated that we need good defense to win games. Getting Casas back at 1st will help. And Story will help the infield not f*** up these easy double plays or ground balls.

the starving teams are the parent club and Worcester.... who lost to the IronPigs 4-1; the hottest team in the organization is AA Portland who won again in Binghamton 5-3 and is 19-2 IN THEIR last 21
