Sounds like Sean is running out of gas, single and a walk with no outs in the 6th.

 

K on the change.

 

DP!!!

[Pistolcub42]

Very poor connection now...Nate sounds like a machine gun.

 

 

I had a lot of problems with that Peoria feed last year too. I would have to turn sound up as loud as possible just to hear anything...

its a completely different feed this year. last year's feed was garbage from the radio station

It is a much better connection now, Nate. There is still a constant hissing noise but I'm not really bothered by it.

Raisin,

 

Where did you get the pitching matchups. I am thinking about going down either Saturday or Sunday. Any idea as to who would be pitching either of those days?

 

I actually have the Cubs minor league rotations saved on my computer and I normally confirm it the night before on each team's web site (and check out the opposing pitcher at that time - sometimes I have to check the opposing team's web site).

 

For Iowa, Saturday should be LHP Raul Valdes and Sunday should be LHP Rich Hill (though there's a chance RHP Angel Guzman goes instead - both Hill and Gooz pitched on the same day earlier this week).

[CaliforniaRaisin]

WT leads Birmingham 1-0 after 6, as Tony Richie throws out a baserunner to end the 6th.

 

Marmol so far: 6 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 6 K, 2 BB

[Pistolcub42]

Great game going on in Birmingham. West Tenn up 1-0. Marmol with 5ip, 1h, 0r, 1w, 6k

 

Lance Broadway equally as impressive 6ip, 4h, 1r, 0er, 0w, 10k

[CaliforniaRaisin]

By the way, the only hit Marmol has surrendered was a blooper.

 

That is now Marmol's final line (6 IP, 1 H, 0 R, 2 BB, 6 K). He threw 71 pitches.

 

Federico Baez now in for the Jaxx in the bottom of the 7th. Bah, he gives up a leadoff double.

[Chris]

Chiefs up 3-0 to the bottom of the 8th

[Chris]

9th inning in Birmingham, game tied at 1

[Chris]

1st & 2nd for the Jaxx in the top of the 9th, 1 out

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Iowa leads Albuquerque 4-3 in the 7th. Buck Coats with a HR. Walrond has given up 1 ER in 6 IP.

 

WT and Birmingham are tied at 1 in the 9th, but the Jaxx are threatening. Luis Montanez is at second, Richard Lewis at first with one out. Micah Hoffpaiur flies out, Montanez tags and advances to third. Aww, Greenberg grounds out 4-3. To the bottom of the 9th, tied at 1.

[Chris]

Chris Walker is the man!

[Chris]

Come on Atlee, one more out for free baseball!

[Chris]

Free baseball!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Yay, extra innings!

[Jon]

EPATT goes deep to right-center!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Man, it sounds like just hammered that one!

[Jon]

Hopefully we'll hear Dope's x-ray results tomorrow.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Ron confirms that Aardsma has been regularly clocked in the upper 90s.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Iowa now up 5-3 in the 8th inning.

[Jon]

Jaxx win! Great pitching tonight.

[texascub]

Hopefully we'll hear Dope's x-ray results tomorrow.

 

During the Chiefs' game, Nate said that Dope had a sprained knee I do believe. Hopefully it is only a mild one, but those can be hard to recover from; especially for a power hitter who puts so much stress on his knees.
