When is Samardzija going to start for Boise?

[Vinestal]

When is Samardzija going to start for Boise?

 

Id like to know this as well, Im really looking forward to hearing about him.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Tuesday.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Ryu gives up a run in the first on a triple and a sac fly. Iowa is batting in the bottom of the first.

 

Ryu: 1 IP, 1 H, 1 R, 11 pitches (6 strikes)

 

Pie grounded out to first in the bottom of the inning.

[Flames24Rulz]

Iowa ties it up at 1 in the 2nd thanks to a 2 out double by Buck Coats, followed by an RBI single by Soto.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Iowa now up 2-1 after 3, thanks to a Theriot single to CF, a Pie single to RF, a Restovich single to LF and a Hoffpauir sac fly.

 

Ryu: 3 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 3/0, 35 pitches (24 strikes)

[Flames24Rulz]

2-1 Iowa through 3 1/2.

 

Ryu: 4 IP, 2 hits, 1 ER, 0 BB's, 3 K's, 49 pitches (31 strikes)

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Definitely keeping the pitch count down, it'd be nice to see him go 8 or 9.

Scheduled Games (All Times Local)

 

Peoria at Quad Cities 7:00 PM

 

Not sure where this came from but we start at 5:00 Local time tonight (dont want anyone to miss the broadcast!)....then bus 5 hours to Wisconsin to arrive there about 2 am. all the thanks to Quad Cities for scheduling sunday night games this season....

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Ryu gives up 2 in the 6th inning as Omaha ties it up at 3.

 

Ryu: 6 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 5/1, 91 pitches (59 strikes)

 

Clay Rapada is now in in the 7th.

 

Felix Pie is 1/4 today with a single and 2 Ks. His most recent AB, in the bottom of the 6th:

[Jon]

Wow. One away with runners at 2nd and 3rd for Omaha. Fly ball to Pie in center, who then throws out the runner tagging from 2nd to 3rd BEFORE the runner from 3rd crosses the plate.

 

And the Micah hits a 2-run bomb. He's on fire. He has a .258 BA on the season with Iowa, but an .869 OPS.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

And now Scott Williamson is in the game for Iowa.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Iowa wins it 5-3. Williamson gets a hold with a scoreless inning of work. Wuertzy gave up a hit and a walk but got 2 Ks and closed the door for his 6th save. Felix got a double his last time up in the game and finished 2/5.

[Chris]

Cates hit in the back of the helmet and is down face first on the ground. He was able to slowly make his way to the third base dugout and is out of the game.

[Balsa]

Ugh. Chiefs botch an easy double play making two erros and allowing a runner to score.

[Flames24Rulz]

Jaxx win 6-0! Mathes pitched a gem as he threw a complete game, 4 hit shutout. He walked none and struck out 4. EPatt was 3/4 with a double and an RBI, Nic Jackson had 2 singles and 2 RBI's, Chris Walker added 2 singles and an RBI, and Jake Fox also had 2 hits, including a double. Carlos Rojas also had 2 hits, including a double and an RBI.

 

Peoria is down 4-1 in the 8th while Daytona is down 2-1 in the bottom of the 4th.

JR Mathes has been very hot over the last month and a half or so.

[Flames24Rulz]

Peoria lost 5-1. Taylor went 7 innings giving up 7 hits, 4 runs, 0 BB's, and 3 K's. Teasley pitched the 8th and gave up 1 hit, 1 run, 0 ER, 0 BB's, and 1 K. Chirinos was 1/3 with a double, the only extra-base-hit that Peoria had in the game. Valdez, Reynolds, Carter, Garcia, and Lalli had the other 5 Peoria hits.

 

Daytona is down 13-2 after 6. Palm Beach scored 10 in the 5th.

 

Boise is down 2-1 after 2.

wtg Felix

 

Also, it's become apparent Wuertz is going to have to kneecap multiple Cub bullpen guys to get another shot.

I think he kneecapped Hendry's brother. There is no other explanation for why he is not on the big league team right now.

If there's a better way for Marmol to improve than to pitch once a week as the big league club's long reliever, I'd like to hear it.

[Quakers]

Just got back from Salem. There used to be a day when I would come back from a Boise game and have nothing but positive points. Just wait until you see Guzman, etc... Marshall is much better than his record would indicate...

 

1) Downs was not very effective tonight. While they nickeled and dimed Pawelek to death they hit Downs fairly hard. According to the scoreboard Downs was maxing out around 83-84. SK was running on Downs. I am not sure if it was the length of his delivery or since so much of his stuff is slow. Downs did pick a runner off, but he also threw a pick off attempt away allowing a runner to advance all the way to third.

 

2) Muldowney was fairly effective, topping off at 87. He did give up the first homerun of the series though. Roquet pitched the last inning. He topped off at 89, but appeared more hittable.

 

3) Canzler had a nice double, but I was not impressed with his defense at first. Has bat will travel??

 

4) Episcipo made a nice running catch in left.

 

5) Baez made an error at short. But on the whole I think he is a decent fielder.

 

So after two games my impressions are that the starters for Boise are works in progress, the relief I have seen is better than most years, the offense is OK, but it really needs a couple of big bats to get it going. Colvin could make a big difference.
