Hopefully Veal can have a possitive outing, didnt he walk a lot of people his last time out? Should also be very interesting to see what Pie does against Sheets.

 

Yeah, he walked 6 guys in 3.1 IP.

The jet stream should be flying out of Vets tonight in Cedar Rapids. Could be a tough night to pitch, but I'm excited to see the new guys.

[texascub]

Game has been delayed slightly because this is the Smokies' home opener, but it should start sometime soon.

[texascub]

Walker rolls out to second, E-Patt strikes out, and Moore strikes out to end the top of the first.

[texascub]

Only one hit and no runs allowed by Mathes in the 1st. Richie threw out the only baserunner trying to steal 2nd to end the inning.

[Flames24Rulz]

Peoria down 1-0 at the end of 1. Veal threw a lot of pitches, but he got a strikeout and then batters interference when the runners on base were stealing, for a double play to end the inning.

[texascub]

Scoreless game after 1 1/2. The side was retired in order, but Montanez was close to a double. He smashed a liner down the 3rd base line, but the 3rd baseman timed his jump perfectly and snagged it out of the air.

[Vinestal]

Peoria down 1-0 at the end of 1. Veal threw a lot of pitches, but he got a strikeout and then batters interference when the runners on base were stealing, for a double play to end the inning.

Hmmm how many hits/walks did he give up?

[Chris]

Come on JR, help your own cause!

[ChiefsVoice]

2 hits, 1 walk, 1 k, 1 pickoff (1-6-3), 1 error at third and then the batters interference...threw a 1-2-3 2nd inning on 11 pitches. 32 total pitches. down 1-0 after 2.

gave up 2 hits, a walk and the defense had an error.

 

and Nate beat me to it!

[Chris]

Mathes advances the runner in his first professional plate appearance, Walker gets the RBI single! 1-0 Jaxx!

[Flames24Rulz]

1-0 Cedar Rapids, bottom 3.

[Vinestal]

2 hits, 1 walk, 1 k, 1 pickoff (1-6-3), 1 error at third and then the batters interference...threw a 1-2-3 2nd inning on 11 pitches. 32 total pitches. down 1-0 after 2.

 

Well sounds like he settled down in the second, thats good. I guess that was the bottom of the order though.

[Chris]

Don't forget about the Q & A sessions with Eric Patterson, Adam Greenberg, Pat Listach and Derek Ingram in the Chat Schedule/Questions for Guests Forum!

[Flames24Rulz]

Veal with a 1-2-3 3rd.

[Chris]

Jaxx on the corners for Greenberg

[Flames24Rulz]

Chiefs had 3 hits in the 4th but didn't score any runs, in part due to one of the hits being wiped out because the runner was caught stealing.

 

1-0 Cedar Rapids, bottom 4.

[Chris]

Greenberg with the RBI (1), 2-0 Jaxx

[Flames24Rulz]

still 1-0 Cedar Rapids, 5th inning.

[Chris]

Mathes crosses the 60 pitch mark in the 4th
