Game Story: Buchho and Bowden Show, Homer Happy Sox Rock The Bird-O's
Buchholz pitched 7 IP of 3 hit ball, allowing only one other runner to reach, just a week after the 2 year anniversary of his no-hitter against these very same O's. Michael Bowden relieved him and finished off the shut-out, a great team effort from two of the Sox' best pitching prospects.
Bowden came back strong from his previous appearance with the club, but he's still a ways away from regaining his status as one of the upper tier prospects of the Sox' farm.
The offense made sure that Buch wasn't under any pressure all night, delivering dingers at will from the likes of Youk, Papi, Gonzo, Drew, and Pedroia (TWICE!!!). The last few innings were filled with subsitutions, giving us glimpses at Reddick, Woodward, Gathright, Dusty Brown, Green, Brian Anderson, AND... JED!!! He didn't get any PAs or plays at SS though, so we'll have to wait till next time to get a look at his wrist.

Got any idea what's happened to Bowden?
I mean, aside from last night’s game, how did he fall off the radar?

That 1 Brad Penny start vs the MFY he blew up.
That, and he’s been well overshadowed by guys like Buck, Casey, and since he got the promotion ahead of Bowden for some reason, Taz.

Is there any possible way
That the Sox can face this same pitching staff for the other 25 games remaining this season?

the rotation finding it's stride?
clay has been pitching efectively for the past month & is ably manning the #3 slot. lester & beckett ( he seems to be returning to form) are settled in as a formidable 1-2 punch. hopefully wake can retake his sturdy performance in the 4 slot & we should wrap up the wild card. going forward into the playoffs the staff should prove to be a huge positive for us in a 5 gamer against the angels.

wake probably not coming back
according to the herald it looks like wake may not be coming back. well, i’ll take our 1-3, but the 4th & 5th slots just scare me at this point…

like the article says,
it is a beautiful thing seeing the top two pitching prospects at the start of this year combine for a shutout.

Even if Kelly has completely passed Bowden.
