Sucks to see Yoho go. Really loved him As others said, this feels like it sets up another trade. We'll see

New kids getting it done!!!

The thing is, I expected 2.5-3 ERA Miz with 200 K's a season but also like 100 BBs. Really good but always on a knife's edge. Kind of like he was in the minors. Overpowering hitters but also always vulnerable to games getting away from him in a bad inning. I don't think anyone in their wildest dreams saw this monster coming. 11 K's through 4 innings are you kidding? Did the 20k games even achieve that?

Every time I watch Miz pitch I am amazed. He'd spent years in the minors struggling with his command and walking like 15% of batters. Somehow he's managed to lock in. I don't get it but I am happy

I'm not sure Kelly is the one who got away? He's spent parts of 4 seasons toiling in AAA with some good results (like the strech he is on with Iowa after the Dodgers traded him to the Cubs) and some awful results (like his time in Texas and Colorado). No doubt he has talent but, barring an insane comeback, he likely won't ever be a major league regular.

Second Ebel in the org

lmao Ashby 12 wins

Dang this kid is good

International siging bonus was $1.1M so you're right. First day as a multimillionaire!!

Reiss Knher gets 3 strikeouts (15 in the game for the Sounds!!) to win the game!

Pratt walks to reach for the third time tonight (2H 1BB), Lara flies out to center and then Adams is hit again!! 3rd time tonight! He will be sore tomorrow morning! Black gets an infield hit and Quero has the bases loaded. He strikes out but Badoo walks in a run! Wilken strikes out and to the 9th we go.

Junior Fernández is in for the 8th. Gets a fly out and then a hit to left field. Another play where Black's lack of defensive acumen showed. That ball was in the air for a long time but Black had a bad jump and lacked the closing speed/ability to slide to make the catch, Woof the defensive miscues continue. Ball grounded to Leonard and it eats him up. What should have been a GIDP to end the inning is now 1st and 2nd with 1 out. Oh and Quero missed a challenge. Lovely. Now another ball grounded to Leonard (by old friend Raynel Delgado) who tags out the runner at second. Runners at the corners with 2 outs. No dice. Ball grounded into left field past the diving glove of Pratt scores a run. Then Black's throw to third is wild and Fernández wasn't backing it up so it goes all the way to Quero and its runners at second and third with 2 outs. Junior strikes out Trey Morgan (who has a diamond sombrero tonight sheesh) and escapes the defensive meltdown giving up only one run.

Badoo grounds out sharply to short, Wilken flies out to right and Leonard gets his second hit of the night on a 2 out ball hit to left field past the diving shortstop. Jett hits one weakly on the ground to second and the inning is over. Looks like the bats are done for the night.

Sounds go K-F7-K for a quick 1-2-3. Hardin is done for the night after a spectacular performance and Koenig is in to pitch in the 7th. He gets a ground out and then gives up a wierd single. Bouncing ball to third that Jett caught as he hopped over the bag. No throw and it looked like he thought it was foul but the ump ruled it fair. Jared gets a K looking and then a pick off! Looked good in that rehab outing. Boy does the MLB bullpen need him.

Hardin is out for the 6th and gives up a homer with no outs. Next batter hits a ball to deeep left that Black is able to get to, but Tyson is giving up some hard contact this inning. Oh but he comes back with back to back K's to Dunn and Morgan!!! A strikout swinging and a foul tip end what has been an amazing performance. 11 strikeouts!!
