Probable Starters:

 

Iowa: RHP Angel Guzman (1-2, 6.61 ERA, 16.1 IP, 23/3) @ RHP Alfredo Simon (0-4, 5.26 ERA)

WT: RHP Carlos Marmol (3-2, 2.55 ERA, 42.1 IP, 50/19) vs. LHP Cesar Carrillo (1-3, 3.02 ERA) - 18th pick in 05

Peoria: LHP Jesus Yepez (1-2, 4.45 ERA, 28.1 IP, 14/18) vs. LHP Ramon Garcia (5-1, 1.29 ERA)

[CaliforniaRaisin]

The Jaxx are up 2-1 in the fifth inning.

 

Marmol so far: 4 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 5/2

[CaliforniaRaisin]

A nice pitching duel between Marmol and Carrillo, but they're both out of the game now.

 

Marmol: 6 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 6/2

 

After 7, it's still 2-1, West Tenn. The teams have combined for 4 hits.

I'm starting to get giddy that Marmol signed two pictures for me last week.

[donobr]

Why is a career minor leaguer(Deardorf) with a .212 average,playing first instead of Hoffpauir,is he related to Dusty or Neifi?

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Because Hoffpauir has only been there a day, if he's even there yet at all? Hoffpauir isn't a very good prospect himself.

[Flames24Rulz]

pair of comeback wins for 2 of the minor league squads! Peoria came back to win 2-1 in 11. Peoria came back to tie the game in the 9th on a Kyle Reynolds RBI single. The Chiefs then won it in the 11th on a RBI single by Jesus Valdez!

 

Daytona was down 6-2 in the 9th before they put up a 5 spot to win it in the bottom of the 9th! Here was Daytona's 9th inning:

 

Daytona Bottom 9th

 

Jeff Culpepper pops out to third baseman Trevor Lawhorn in foul territory.

Nate Spears pops out to first baseman Jay Garthwaite.

Sam Fuld singles on a ground ball to center fielder Brandon Roberts.

Jemel Spearman triples (1) on a fly ball to center fielder Brandon Roberts. Sam Fuld scores.

Aaron Weston singles on a fly ball to left fielder Jeremiah Piepkorn. Jemel Spearman scores.

Pitcher Change: Carlos Bohorquez replaces Jim Paduch.

Jake Fox strikes out swinging. Aaron Weston to 2nd. Jake Fox advances to 1st, on throwing error by catcher Chris Kroski.

With Matt Craig batting, wild pitch by Carlos Bohorquez, Aaron Weston to 3rd. Jake Fox to 2nd.

Matt Craig singles on a fly ball to right fielder Javon Moran. Aaron Weston scores. Jake Fox scores.

With Alan Rick batting, wild pitch by Carlos Bohorquez, Matt Craig to 2nd.

Alan Rick singles on a fly ball to left fielder Jeremiah Piepkorn. Matt Craig scores.

[cubbiefan]

Hoffpauir just got to the field. Micah and Luis' first flight was cancelled...had to get on another one 5 hours later, then their connecting flight was delayed and they didn't arrive in Fresno until 7...game time. He's there now, so maybe he'll go in. And, I believe he is considered a prospect!

That's one messed up inning. You also forgot to mention they rallied with 2 outs. :D

Yeesh. At least he made it. Thanks for the update.

 

Pie is 1-2 with an RBI single. Guzman's line so far:

 

3 IP, 3 H, 0 R, 1 BB, 3 K, 40 pitches

[Jon]

2 infield singles and a strikeout, but no runs against Guzman. I-Cubs still up 3-0.

[Jon]

2-run triple for Fresno. Guzman's line so far:

 

5 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 5 K, 72 pitches-46 strikes

[Jon]

Pie with a 2-run bomb!

 

#5 on the year, I-Cubs lead 6-2. That was Felix's 3rd 2-out RBI of the night. He took the first pitch and crushed it to right-center.

[Jon]

Angel's final line:

 

7 IP, 8 H, 2 R, 1 BB, 7 K, 90 pitches

 

7 of the 8 hits were singles. He had 6 groundouts to 8 flyouts.

 

Montanez PH for Guzman and grounded out.

 

Pie will likely finish 2-4 with 3 RBIs, 2 runs scored, a walk, and a strikeout.

[sporrer17]

Mark Reed doing it again. Another multi-hit game, another SB. I like it.

 

Pie is starting to heat up again. His RBI total is going to be ridiculous by the end of the year for a leadoff man...provided he doesn't get sent up to Chicago by then.

Calling him up to hit leadoff would be sheer idiocy.

 

It's destiny.

[sporrer17]

If he is a leadoff man in the bigs, I'm going to cry. He's got far too much power and he's way too good in the clutch for him to be hitting #1. He's more of a 3/5/6 hitter...but probably 7/8 to start out. He may not have the pop for a 4 hole hitter, but he's going to hit anywhere outside of 1/2.

 

But you're right....it's such a bad idea, they'll probably do it tomorrow.

 

To be honest, I'm still a little surprised they have him hitting leadoff in Iowa...I thought they would have started getting him into a run-producing slot seeing as that would appear to be his future. Maybe they want him to be ready incase Pierre isn't re-signed?

[Brian]

I hope Felix doesn't play under Dusty or at least not very long. Felix is fast so Felix is a lead of hitter (dustylogic). I also hope Gene Clines doesn't get to him. Anybody thinking/hoping Von Joshua follows Pie to the big leagues?

ME!!! Von Joshua has had some struggling players turn it on under his watch. Sing lit it up, Cedeno did as well I believe, and Pie was having a breakout type year last year before the injury. He seems to be a pretty good instructor. I'd like to see him work with a few of our low minors guys as well, but if he comes to Chicago, I'm happy.

I'm just hoping he's hitting leadoff to get more ABs.

 

He doesn't have the patience or plate discipline to bat leadoff and once his power arrives, he'd be better off in the middle of the lineup anyways.

Marmol watch...

 

48.1 IP, 34 H, 0 HR, 21 BB, 56 K, 2.42 ERA in 9 GS

[RyCubsFan]

Marmol watch...

 

48.1 IP, 34 H, 0 HR, 21 BB, 56 K, 2.42 ERA in 9 GS

 

Geesh....think he could give up fewer home runs already?! I mean, come on!

 

:wink:

[goonys evil twin]

Marmol watch...

 

48.1 IP, 34 H, 0 HR, 21 BB, 56 K, 2.42 ERA in 9 GS

 

Control seems to be the only concern. He's walked 4+ per 9 all his career and he was doing just that until the last outing, now he's at 3.91.
