Connelly Early is flying under most prospect radar, at least nationally, but that is likely to change. The lefty has a future in a big-league rotation.
An excellent outing from Connelly Early tonight in Worcester: .Six innings, 10 Ks (a new season high), 19 (!!) swings and misses including 11 on his fastball, no walks. 92 pitches/61 strikes. One run that scored due to a misplay in the outfield. He was REALLY good.

Despite pitching mostly in relief, the rookie right-hander arguably belongs in the rotation.

It looked like Roman Anthony just walked down the tunnel after returning to dugout after striking out.

Haven't (and won't) make it to PNC Park this season as I often do, but I did procure some good forthcoming Pirates content this weekend at Fenway. Not surprisingly, pitchers were my primary targets.

Now Chelsea scores nine minutes into the eight minutes of stoppage time, at which point the whistle is blown for half. If I were a Fulham fan, I would be furious.
Fulham just got victimized by one of the worst VAR decisions I have ever seen. (I am not a Fulham fan).

Boston's Payton Tolle just retired the side 1-2-3 in his first big-league inning. He did so on 13 pitches, 11 of which were strikes, with two strikeouts. Paul Skenes will now take the mound for the bottom of the first in Fenway. Promises to be a fun evening.

The Dodgers right-hander is much the same pitcher he was before Tommy John surgery, but not exactly.

Just saw where someone who should know better wrote "the MLB" and I am going to refrain from calling him out. (This is not an easy thing to do.).
