Ben Revere started his rehab assignment on Thursday with the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs, and Revere made an immediate impact in the game going 2-3 with a run scored and a RBI. Revere batted lead-off with Trea Turner in the 2-hole. Brian Goodwin in the game went 1-2 with 2 walks. A.J. Cole pitched 6 innings of shutout baseball yielding 3 hits against the Pawtucket Paw Sox.
Here is an add-on to this story from Kevin Brown of the Syracuse Chiefs who did a recap for us from what he saw last night and insight from pitching coach Bob Milacki:
“Ben Revere looked good. Swung the bat aggressively against a tough lefty Eduardo Rodriguez who is on his own rehab assignment form the Red Sox.
Revere put in 5 innings last night and got 3 at-bats.
A.J. Cole located much better last night. His changeup was good and he had better “angle” on his delivery and fastball according to pitching coach Bob Milacki.
Trea Turner made an error last night (3rd of the season), but it was on a bit of a tough play, and he recovered nicely. the range and the arm strength on that play (see video) to nab Chris Marrero were superlative. He’s looked steadier at shortstop this year for sure. I think he’ll continue to improve.”
We recently upgraded our comment system to improve reliability, performance, and long-term control, and we’re currently running both systems during the transition. This shift moves us away from an external service to a system we run and control directly—meaning we own the content and can continue improving it over time. We’ve also reduced the comment refresh delay from about 30 seconds to 10 seconds, making it much closer to real-time.
We understand there have been frustrations and increased feedback, and we’re actively working to improve things. What we ask is simple: use the system and give it a fair shot. If you run into issues, please submit them through the support form so we can track and fix them properly. Repeated complaints without details don’t help us solve problems—we appreciate your patience as we continue refining the experience.
