Interesting decision, I thought he might be good for 70-75 and 4-5 innings but considering this aggressive move to stretch him out, maybe he can go 80-85 for Saturday. KC being next opponent ought to help too, they are a notorious free swinging team that doesn’t like to walk, which should keep his pitch count low.

  I love Dayton Moore and Allan Baird. Love ‘em.

Has Mitre used up the max days on the minor league rehab assignment?

  It’ll probably be Romulo. Because, clearly, this team doesn’t have enough long-men.

    You know WGBH is Boston-based, right? Thanks to your support, another frat boy named Sully is getting wasted tonight on watered down Bud Light and forgetting to pronounce his r’s.

      Nah, the frat boys named Sully all went to BC or Holy Cross. I’m pretty sure WGBH only hires from MIT, Harvard, and Tufts, and all those schools have a very strict “No Sully” policy.

      Discrimination: it’s faaaaaaaaaaantastic.

Mitre pitched very well in his start tonight. He gave up 1 run in the 1st when the 1st 2 batters of the game singled and one scored on a groundout. He did not allow a ball to be hit in the air including the 4 singles he allowed. He had 4 K’s, all called 3rd strikes. He hit a batter and issued 2 walks (the only 2 walkes he’s allowed in his 5 rehab starts). In the 5th inning he hit the 1st batter he faced, 2 groundouts moved the runner up to 3rd base. He then issued his 2nd walk of the game and was relieved by Eric Wordekemper 1 out away from a decision. Unfortunately for both Mitre and SWB, Wordekemper gave up a 3-run homer on the 1st pitch he threw. 2 runs were charged to Mitre. Mitre ended up going 4.2 IP, 3 ER, 4 singles, 4 K’s, 2 walks, 1 HBP. 10 groundouts–0 flyouts. He threw 73 pitches–48 strikes.

    You’re welcome. Yeah, Montero singled and scored on Jorge Vasquez’ 2 run homer and doubled. He’s been hitting the ball better the last month or so. I should also mention that Mitre was pitching on 3 days rest. I thought he did pretty well.

      3-3 .267 and another at bat to go. sweet!

      Just looked at the schedule. Mitre would pitch against KC, Cleveland, then Toronto for his first three starts. I can live with that.
