Minor League Discussion & Boxes 6-19-2006: Boise Opener!

[BeerHere]

Yup, they're Cubs alright

 

[texascub]

Baez reaches on an error and steals 2nd. Camp hits a sinking liner LF, and Baez gets doubled off of 2nd to end the inning.

[texascub]

Pawelek out, Jose Martinez is in now.

[Jon]

Pawelek's line: 3 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, HBP, WP

[texascub]

Eugene loaded the bases in the 4th but couldn't cash in, they still lead 3-0.

[texascub]

Wow, those 2 girls were good looking.

[texascub]

Back-to-back homers to lead off the 5th inning, Eugene up 5-0 now.

[Jon]

"That was one of the best all-time belches I've ever heard."

 

Back-to-back HRs down the right field line off of Martinez on consecutive pitches.

[texascub]

Oscar Bernard is throwing in the bullpen now.

[Flames24Rulz]

Daytona beats Palm Beach, 4-3 in 10. Jemel Spearman had the go-ahead RBI single in the 10th when he drove in Jeff Culpepper. Perez started going 5 innings allowing 4 hits, 0 runs, 2 BB's, and had 4 K's. Billek came in for an inning and 2/3's of relief and gave up 4 hits, 1 run, and had 2 K's. His ERA at Daytona is now up to 6.94. Adalberto Mendez had his 3rd blown save of the season, but also got the win to go 4-0. He went an inning and a third allowing 2 hits and had 1 K. Matt Weber got his first save of the year by pitching a perfect 10th including 2 K's.

 

Jemel Spearman went 3 for 4 and had the game-winning RBI. Ryan Harvey went 1 for 5 with an RBI triple, Alan Rick went 2 for 3 and had an RBI, Jeff Culpepper went 2 for 5 and scored 2 runs. Nate Spears was 3 for 4 with a double and an RBI. Good win for Daytona tonight...their offense might struggle a bit (obviously) with the promotion of Fox, but I believe that they can contend for a 2nd half title in the FSL.

Boise scores their first run, but they're still down 5-1. Canzler scored the run on a Canepa (sp?) liner to the outfield.

[texascub]

Bases are loaded in Boise, pause for a pitching change now. Lansford will be the first batter up. I just tuned back into the game but I believe the score is 5-2 in the bottom of the 6th.

[Jon]

Lansford with a 2-run single to left and it's 5-3.

[texascub]

My mistake, the score was still 5-1. Lansford hit a line drive single into LF that plated 2, score is 5-3 now. Canepa is up now.

[Jon]

Has he given the rotation order yet? He started to at the beginning but I've had it on mute for part of the game and haven't heard anything else.

[texascub]

Has he given the rotation order yet? He started to at the beginning but I've had it on mute for part of the game and haven't heard anything else.

 

I've been busy so I've been half listening to the game but I haven't heard anything about the rotation. Personal guess is that Downs gets the start tomorrow but I haven't heard anything yet.

[texascub]

Eugene just got another run on a WP.

[Flames24Rulz]

Wow, this guy pitching right now for Boise is awful.

[texascub]

Wow, this guy pitching right now for Boise is awful.

 

It's Oscar Bernard, the converted catcher.

[texascub]

Another run scores on a WP, ball 4. The announcer just mentioned that Darin Downs will in fact get the start tomorrow for Boise.

[karenmac]

Oscar just showed he can still put a tag on though. Too bad the ball got there a little late.

[Laura]

Yes, they said it would be Downs tomorrow.

[texascub]

Score is 8-3 in the top of the 7th. Eugene has batted around this inning and Jason Ruhlman is up now.

[texascub]

2 more runs score before the inning ends; score is now 10-3.

[texascub]

That was a better 7th inning stretch performance than some of the ones the Cubs have had this year.
