I'm going to the Sacramento-Iowa game tonight. I hope O'Malley pitches because I haven't seen him before.

About Tuesday (?) night's game:

Felix Pie, who Baseball America calls the Chicago Cubs' top prospect, was helped off the field following an awkward slide into second base in the third inning. Pie remained in the game and finished the day 5-for-6 with two runs scored. Iowa's Mike Fontenot went 4-for-5 at the place.

I don't like hearing "Pie" and "awkward slide" in the same sentence, but he obviously did pretty well after that and did play last night.

[texascub]

How was Pie helped off the field and allowed to remain in the game? I'm assuming that he was out on the slide or that the inning was over during the slide? It still doesn't seem like it'd be smart for a manager to have a player helped off the field then allow the player to go back out there, no matter how badly that player still wanted to play.

According to the game log, he was forced at second in the third inning. It does seem a little suspect, but it's hard to tell.

Especially given his injury last year. :?

 

 

Tonight is Gallagher's 10th start.

[Flames24Rulz]

Chiefs take a 1-0 lead in the 3rd off of an RBI double by Alberto Garcia (14th on the year), which scored Kyle Reynolds.

[Flames24Rulz]

Daytona scored 3 in the top half of the 2nd to give Gallagher a 3 run lead, but Gallagher gives all 3 runs back on one swing..a homer by Dunedin ties it at 3. Gallagher has struck out 4 through 2.

I'm not sure what day it was, but I do know for a fact that it was a day game when the incident took place. So if Tuesday was a night game, it couldn't have been then.

[Laura]

Gallagher with 6Ks through 3. The HR was his 4th allowed this season, the first non-solo shot.

 

The broadcasters have mentioned in the past that his ERA in 2nd innings is over 5.

 

Gallagher loads the bases with one out in the 4th with a HBP and 2BBs, but gets the DP to escape. I think the first out was another K.

 

Sounds like he's getting a lot of movement on his pitches -- racking up the Ks, but also a little wild.

 

Daytona scores a run in the top of 5th to take the lead 4-3.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Gallagher seems to have the innate ability to get out of jams.

[Laura]

He allows a solo HR by Ryan Patterson in the bottom of the 5th to re-tie the game at 4. 9Ks through 5 (8 swinging/1 called), 1HBP and I *think* 3BBs so far.

[Flames24Rulz]

Peoria blows a 3-0 lead and loses 4-3. Scott Koerber allowed 4 runs in the 8th letting a great outing by Mitch Atkins (3 hitter through 7 IP) slip away.

[Flames24Rulz]

Daytona also loses a 1 run game, 5-4. Dunedin hit a homer in the bottom of the 8th to give them the lead. All of Dunedin's runs came off the long ball.

[Laura]

For what it's worth, Dunedin is the best slugging team in the FSL.

Bums. Don't they realize you can't rely on the long ball? Speed and defense win games, dude.

[CubsWin]

I think its time to put Mitch Atkins officially on the prospect radar. The guy has been dominant so far this season. He just pitched 7 scoreless, only allowing 3 hits while inducing 15 ground ball outs to just one fly ball out. He is only 20 years old and won't turn 21 until after the season is long over. He has good size at 6'3", 230 lbs. That is NFL linebacker size right there. What I don't know is, what's his stuff like?

 

He's got an ERA of 2.01, a WHIP of 1.03, and he is striking out a batter per inning with a ratio to walks of 3:1. Not that it matters much, but in 9 starts, he is also undefeated at 3-0.

 

When you put Atkins in with Donnie Veal (21), Scott Taylor (19), Mark Reed (just turned 20) and Jonathan Mota (about to turn 19), that is a good young nucleus of talent that happens to be performing quite well at the moment.

[Flames24Rulz]

Brandon Sing hits his 1st homer for the Jaxx, a 2 run shot, to give West Tenn a 3-1 lead in the 8th :)

[UBlink]

For what it's worth, Dunedin is the best slugging team in the FSL.

 

Bums. Don't they realize you can't rely on the long ball? Speed and defense win games, dude.

 

Also, for what it's worth, Daytona is the second best slugging team in the FSL. Individually, Jake Fox and Matt Craig are numbers 2 & 3 (as of yesterday - it will probably be reversed after tonight).

 

Edit: Daytona is also #2 in OBP and OPS.

[Flames24Rulz]

Jaxx win 3-1! Rapada nails down his 14th save of the season :)

I assumed it was a night game, but it was Tuesday.

 

Pie walked on 4 pitches to leadoff the first (Coats followed with a full count walk, which is nice to see) and scored on an RBI single by Restovich. Hill with a HBP, SB, and single allowed in the first, but got out of it thanks to a FC out at the plate.

[Jon]

Hill is getting hurt early. 2 IP, 5 H, 3 R, 0 BB, 4 K, HBP, 2 SB, 54 pitches

[abuck1220]

hill strikes out the side in the 2nd, but he gives up four hits (including two infield hits) and three runs. over 50 pitches thru 2, but he's only had one 3 ball count.

Edit: Daytona is also #2 in OBP and OPS.

 

Craig (.423) and Fuld (.414) were 2 & 4 in OBP; Fox (.389) was 9th heading into today.

 

Harvey went 0-4 with 3Ks and a HBP. His average is down to .174.
