So, I'm in Peoria.....

[dalgreen]

and decide to go to the Chiefs/Clinton game at O'Brien Stadium. Nice park with some activities for the kids and between innings games/entertainment. I had a nice time. By the way, none of the Chiefs players I saw excite me except their closer, who was throwing some wicked breaking pitches. Congrats to them for winning the first half of the Midwest League. One funny thing - Jody Davis (Peoria's manager) would jog from the dugout to the third base coaching box and he runs just as fast now as he did twenty years ago for the Cubs! :P

What did you think of Scott Taylor from what you saw?

 

Also, their closer last night was Matt Avery, who's been lights out down there.

Yeah. Let me know how I looked. :P

[CaliforniaRaisin]

And anything else intiguing about Avery (the closer) besides his "wicked breaking pitches"?

Sorry, I don't remember Scott Taylor. Was he the starter that night. As I said earlier, no one really impressed me other than the closer; but, again, that's the first Chiefs' game I went to and I don't follow the minors at all. I do remember the starter getting hammered, but getting out of jams. Clinton's pitcher looked really good,but left after like 5 innings. I don't know why he was taken out because he wasn't in trouble. The Chiefs then pretty much hit Clinton's bullpen.

Taylor was the starter for Peoria. His line that day was: 6 IP, 6H, 1 ER, 1/3 K/BB, WP.

 

Clinton might have taken out their pitcher due to pitch count concerns...

Sorry for the delay. I forgot I had posted on this page -- I don't follow the minors so I'm rarely, if ever, on here.

 

Anyway, that's all I saw. Avery had pretty much an easy ninth inning. I wonder if Hendry was checking him out when he went to Peoria.

Thanks. Yeah, he gave up like four or five hits within his first two innings and then settled down.
