THE DON!

 

(Twice in a row I was the one to get it in. :D )

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Mesa Cubs are down 1-0 midway through the second.

 

Albuquerque gave up 3 walks and got 2 Ks in the first inning, the Angels run scored on a Hank Conger RBI single.

[Flames24Rulz]

Jaxx lose once again to Tennessee, 6-2 :x Gallagher was tagged with his 1st loss at West Tenn as he went 5 and 2/3's allowing 9 hits, 3 runs, 3 BB's, and had 4 K's. Vasquez faced one batter and got him out to end the 6th. Cherry pitched the final 2 innings and gave up 5 hits, 3 runs, 2 BB's, and had a strikeout. Rojas and Walker each had 2 hits. Sing, Lewis, and Moore each had 1 hit. Sing and Jackson were the only Jaxx to have RBI's in the game.

 

Peoria lost to Wisconsin 5-1. Yepez took the loss as he went 6 innings allowing 5 hits, 2 runs, 2 BB's, and had 7 K's. Teasley pitched the final 2 innings allowing 3 hits, and 3 runs. Norwood had 2 hits and Valdez, Reynolds, Carter, and Johnston each had a hit. Kyle Reynolds had the lone RBI for Peoria.

 

Mesa trails 6-1 in the 5th.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Mesa has jumped ahead of Tempe 8-7 with 3 in the 7th and 4 in the 8th. They're trying to close it out now and get their first win of the year.

 

DH Lisandro Rosario (3/4, BB, 2B, RBI, 2 Rs), 3B Marwin Gonzalez (2/5, 3B, 2 Rs) and 2B Ryan Lilly (3/5, BB, 3 RBI, SB, R) have had huge games offensively.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Mesa wins their first of the season. The final is 8-7, Kitt Kopach gets the save and Alejandro Astorga the win.

[Outshined_One]

That Daytona/Vero Beach game sounded like a scorcher. The Dodgers trotted out one of their best young arms, Scott Elbert, who threw 7.2 IP, gave up 1 hit, 4 walks, one earned run...and struck out 13.

 

Yeowza!

[texascub]

Boise lost 8-4, every single pitcher tonight gave up atleast one run. Camp, Clevenger, Joseph, and Mercedes all had multi-hit games; Canzler and Joseph each had solo homers, and Camp had a triple.

Canzler's leading the league in home runs at this moment with 4. Not bad, considering how young the season is.

 

Let's hope that if he becomes the next Harvey/Dopirak uber-power prospect, some one can bash some plate patience into his head. I don't care much for Ks as long as a guy shows he can walk on a consistent basis.

WTG for The Don.

[Quakers]

Sorry about the delay in posting, but I am busy packing for my summer vacation :D

 

Some thoughts on last night's Boise game.

 

1) Lewis - He showed a real strong arm. But he appears to have a major problem...balls that are hit right at him. I thought it was just a mental thing when he let a ball get past him in the first game of the series, but it happened again last night. He was unable to reach a ball that landed a few feet in front of him and it bounced past him. It was embarassing since I had just told the SK fan sitting next to me what a good looking prospect he was.

 

2) Alfred Joseph - The more I see this guy the more I like him. He keeps on making spectacular catches in right. A strong arm that has convinced the SK coaches not to run on him. And he is starting to hit the ball with authority. Last night's homerun was quite a shot to left. The only problem I have seen with him is on the basepaths. He was thrown out going from 2nd to 3rd on a grounder with no outs. Bad judgement, but hopefully he will learn.

 

3) Mercedes might be an interesting catcher prospect. Demonstrated a strong arm when he threw out a runner attempting to steal. He is quick and athletic. He is small enough that I would worry about him blocking the plate though.

 

4) Baez laid down a beautiful bunt.

 

5) Canzler is going to hit a few homeruns. He seems to have two strokes. One is an upper cut swing that has produced his homeruns. His homers have been high majestic shots that land a few feet over the fence. He has another swing that results in line drive shots, but they have a little too much hang time and are always hit at someone. I did see what looked ike a hit-and-run attempt by him that just resulted in a awkward looking pop-up to second. I wonder if he will be able to develop power to right.

Ok I'm lost so somebody find me....when did Rusch get sent down?

[goonys evil twin]

He didn't. He hit the DL and is on a rehab assignment.

[Balsa]

Pagan got a hit!!!!!!

[Balsa]

Also, now it looks like the big steal from the LaTroy trade was Aaardvaark, not Jerome Williams??? Did he fall off the face of the earth?

[Ding Dong Johnson]

Isn't that one of the biggest problems most young OFs have? I've heard from a number of places that balls hit right at the OF are always the hardest to judge, but I don't know if that's a load or what.

[CuseCubFan69]

He didn't. He hit the DL and is on a rehab assignment.

 

The I hurt my back but can lift a player type injury thing....I forgot. Thanks gooney.
