McCullers allowed 1 hit, walked 4, and struck out 4 over 4 shutout innings. Joe Musgrove is in for his Greeneville debut with a 1-0 lead.
What a crazy great game this was, well, unless you wanted the RedHawks to win. I had a blast at the game and I'll give a recap of what I saw tomorrow. Time for bed.

I wonder what the corresponding move will be. Barnes isn't on the 40-man, so somebody will have to be outrighted.
There's definitely gonna be a flurry of moves forthcoming. My guess is that Marc Krauss comes up to take his spot in OKC. I'm seeing this move as being another nail in Jordan Schafer's coffin.
Wait a minute... <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>A guess, just a guess: Barnes told of callup. Astros were going to send a guy out when they arrived at MMP.

Well, the GCLstros are playing 2 with the Marlins today. Jio Mier has an RBI single off of their 1st-rounder, Andrew Heaney in Game 1. They're leading 1-0 in the 4th.
I wonder how long Jio is going to spend in Kissimmeee. There's no space in the lower levels to send him to. They could leap frog him to Corpus but he'd get dominated there.
Why can't the Astros have a speedy CF who can actually hit? Without trading him to the Braves or letting him walk to the Reds???
Why wouldn't he just go back to Lancaster? I thought I read somewhere he may stay in rehab for the remainder of the season.
