Freddy, bullpen hammered in loss to ChiSox

Notes? Notes! Notes…

  • 2B Corban Joseph made this week’s Ten Pack. It’s a subscriber-only piece, but CoJo’s write-up is above the paywall. Make sure you head on over to check it out.
  • Make sure you read Mike Ashmore’s feature on RHP Mikey O’Brien, who has had to overcome a number of obstacles to advance his career and get to where he is today.
  • UTIL Jose Pirela was placed on the DL with a broken left hand and is done for the season. Sucks. Meanwhile, RHP Ryan Flannery was activated to take his roster spot.
  • In case you missed it, we had some Double-A Trenton and High-A Tampa scout notes via Josh Norris earlier today.
