Bicondoa has had a pretty good debut so far. He has thrown one bad pitch, in the 4th, which resulted in a 2-run HR.

 

5 IP, 3 H, 2 ER, BB, 7 K

 

Daytona is up 3-2 in the middle of the 5th.

Baez ejected for throwing behind Bailey after he hit Walker in the head with a pitch earlier.

 

96 mph fastball on the noggin-knocker, from what I heard. :shock:

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Iowa up 2-0 in the third. Restovich and Coats have the runs, Deardorff and Hoffpauir the RBI.

 

Daytona wins game two 3-2. Bicondoa in his Cubs debut: 5.1 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, BB, 7 K, HR.

 

Boise and Spokane are tied at 4. Matulia and Lansford have an RBI, Canzler with 2 (on a double).

 

Mesa losing 3-0 in the bottom of the third. Parker has struggled, giving up 2 ER and 3 R on 6 H in 2.2 so far. Drew Rundle is 0/1 with a BB and a groundout to first.

DCubs win!

whoa. Well,Walker was hit in the 3rd inning and he stayed in the game, so hopefully he's ok.

 

Holdzkom HBP'd the Chattanooga CFer in the 5th.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Iowa up 3-1 in the top of the 7th. Felix Foot with the night off. Ryu: 6 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, BB, 4 K, HR, 89 pitches (56 strikes).

 

Boise down 8-7 in the 6th. Colvin is 3-3 with a BB and 3 singles.

 

Mesa now down 3-2 in the 7th after scoring 2 in the 6th inning. Rundle is now 1/2 with a single and a HBP to go with that BB. Gonzalez and Parker have Mesa's RBI. Marco Carillo went 2 scoreless and hitless innings with 2 Ks. Now Oscar Bernard is in. Taylor Parker's final line: 4 IP, 6 H, 3 R, 2 ER, HBP, K.

[Flames24Rulz]

Close the book on Ryu. 6 IP, 6 hits, 3 ER's, 2 BB's, 4 K's. Shipman came in and let a pair of inherited runners to score to tie the game at 3 in the bottom of the 7th.

[Flames24Rulz]

And now Tucson leads 4-3 as Chris Young stole 2nd, then advanced to 3rd on a wild pitch by Shipman, then scored on a sac fly :(

Alberto Callaspo was the one who had the 2-RBI single, stole second, advanced to third on a WP and scored. He scored on a Chris Young sac fly.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Floating the idea: Promote Colvin?

It's getting late :lol:

 

Casey McGehee hits a 3-run shot though to put Iowa up 6-4!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Boise ended up scoring 3 more in that 6th inning (for a total of 4 runs, the first scoring on Colvin's RBI single) to take a 10-8 lead.

 

The runs scored thusly: Matt Camp had an IF single. Matt Matulia walked. Colvin had the RBI single to RF. Josh Lansford reached on an E-5 which allowed Matulia to score. After a Canzler strike out and a DJ Lewis groundout, Steve Clevenger had a 2-RBI double before Elvin Puello flew out to RF to end the inning.

 

Boise still leads it 10-8 after 6. By the way, Puello is back from his suspension for his part in the brawl last week and now Alfred Joseph is serving the first game of his 3-game suspension.

 

Mesa loses 3-2. Oscar Bernard throws 2 scoreless innings, allowing a hit and 2 BBs with 1 K.

3/3 with a walk so far today. :D

3/3 with a walk so far today. :D

 

With a SB and OF assist as well...you can't short the man!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Floating the idea: Promote Colvin?

 

Yeah, I hope it comes soon. Boise has 4 starting OFs (Camp, Colvin, Joseph and Lewis) on the team, so they won't have to rely on a callup from Mesa (who's OFers aren't doing so hot with the bat) to help out.

 

By the way, up to the minute Colvin stats:

 

.304/.363/.509/.882, 18 SOs, 10 BBs. He's up right now...

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Sheesh, the guy's possessed. Stand-up triple!

 

.310/.368/.550/.918

I like it.

[sporrer17]

TyCo is locked in. Call him up immediately...he's a top 15 pick, he's 20 years old, he'll be fine in Low-A ball. I generally agree with the Cubs slow-and-steady approach to hitters...but this is one time I hope they go against that.

[CUBZ99]

Maybe this Wilkens character knows what he is doing. :D

[Outshined_One]

I'm going to keep ragging on him to improve that IsoD just because I can. :P

 

Still, considering how badly he started out the year, he's been playing balls to the wall since then.

[Laura]

Sheesh, the guy's possessed. Stand-up triple!

++++++++++++

 

A little bit of hope for the future.
