Workman Watch: July 19 edition

Published

on

Former Bowie High School pitcher Brandon Workman will remain in the minor leagues with the Pawtucket PawSox through the weekend for his next start.
Workman is scheduled to start Saturday’s game against Buffalo, which will start at 5:05 p.m. Central Daylight Time.
The Boston Red Sox have established their post All-Star break rotation, which begins with a three-game set at home versus the Kansas City Royals.
Clay Buchholz pitched Friday night, followed by Rubby De La Rosa on Saturday and Jon Lester on Sunday. Boston travels to Toronto Monday when Jon Lackey gets the start, and Jake Peavy is set for Tuesday.
De La Rosa replaced Workman in the Red Sox rotation last week. Workman had lost his last three starts for Boston before his demotion.
Workman, a 2007 graduate from Bowie, has a 4-1 record in the minors this season with a 5.36 earned-run average. He has allowed 26 earned runs and 50 hits in eight starts, with 37 strikeouts and only 12 walks. Home runs have hurt Brandon, giving up nine of them in the minors.
It remains unclear when Workman will be promoted back to Boston.

New Saint Jo Boy’s Basketball Coach Terry McLennan said the school’s family atmosphere is what prompted him to join the Panther family.

“This is an opportunity to be an important program but also part of a great community,” McLennan said. “I’ve been looking to get back to a small town environment like the one I grew up in and played ball and this should do that.”

McLennan played basketball in Hubbard outside of Waco. McLennan comes to town after being the assistant girl’s basketball coach in Grand Prairie.

McLennan contends he’s a defensive style of coach but says his team will focus on intensity.
