[Jon]

Negron's numbers are back down again. He had a .472 BABIP for June but is batting just .258/.303/.355 in July on a .320 BABIP.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Are you listening, Serena? If so, how?

 

A 2-double game for Dope is great!

 

He smashed the first one & Gary Cate's double would have been out if it had been 3 feet higher.

 

I went to the MiLB gameday audio page and am listening to the Smokies broadcast because the link for Ron's broadcast is down. Sounds like they've had some really bad weather in the area; maybe that's the reason.

 

Thanks. I was disappointed when I checked out Ron's broadcast link and it was down.

[Flames24Rulz]

Daytona only had 5 hits in their 4-0 loss...2 for Muyco, a double by Harvey, and one each for Mota and Sprowl.

 

Peoria now down 9-1 in the 7th. Chiefs have just 3 hits through 6.

 

Jaxx up 4-1 after 4.

 

Boise scoreless through 1 1/2.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Boise now up 2-0 after 2 thanks to a DJ Lewis solo HR (:D), a Steve Clevenger double and an Elvin Puello RBI single.

[otis89]

Pie struck out looking in his first at-bat tonight. No score after 1.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Wow, Salem has really stacked the lefties against Francisco today (4 + 2 switch hitters). Alfredo gives up a run on 2 hits in the top of the 4th and Boise is now tied at 4 in the middle of the 4th.

 

Griebal Cuevas-Novas is starting for Mesa today and making his pro debut. Where's Chris Huseby?

 

Drew Rundle got a double for Mesa in the first. Cuevas-Novas had a shutout first inning, giving up a hit and getting 2 Ks. 0-0 in the middle of the 2nd.

[otis89]

"Injury Delay" in the Iowa game. Wonder what happened?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Jeremy Papelbon gives up a 2-run HR (one of the runners was inherited from Alfredo Francisco). It's the first professional HR that Papelbon has given up and just the 3 ER he's given up this season.

 

Boise is now down 6-4 in the middle of the 5th.

 

Francisco: 4+ IP, 5 ER, 5 H, 2 BB, 2 K.

 

Papelbon's ERA is up to 1.14!

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Cuevas-Novas was solid in his debut: 2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 2 K. Albuquerque has followed him with a shutout inning (1 K). Rundle is now 1 for 2 with another K. 17-year old third baseman Marwin Gonzalez has a single in his only AB. It's 0-0 after 3.

[Flames24Rulz]

Ugh, Gallagher will get a ND as Atlee gave up the tying run to Tennessee in the top of the 8th. Campusano got the 3rd out of the inning, leaving the score tied at 4.

[Flames24Rulz]

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Outside of being more hittable at AA, Campusano has carried his success over from Peoria to West Tenn.

 

Rundle now has struck out 2 times to go with his double. Albuquerque threw 2 shutout innings and has now given way to former third baseman Brandon Taylor in the bottom of the 5th. Taylor gives up 1 ER in 2 innings on 2 hits and the AZL A's take a 1-0 lead into the top of the 7th.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Last chance for Boise, down 7-4 in the bottom of the 9th inning.

Tyler Colvin ends up going 1/4 with that RBI single and 2 strikeouts.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

A 7th inning RBI single by Luis Montanez scored Augie Ojeda to give Iowa a 3-2 lead. They're now in the bottom of the 7th.

 

Mesa is down 2-1 after 8. Robert Hernandez have given up 1 ER in 2 innings of work. Drew Rundle hit a solo HR, his first pro HR! He's now 2/4 with a double, solo HR and 2 Ks.

Iowa now down 4-3 in the bottom of the 8th. Walrond gave up 2 runs in the bottom of the 7th to give Las Vegas the lead.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Iowa now down 5-3 in the bottom of the 8th. David Aardsma gave up a couple of singles and then commited a throwing error on a sac bunt that allowed one run to score. Clay Rapada is now coming in to relieve Aardsma.

 

Las Vegas gets one more, according to Gameday: "Jeff Duncan flies into sacrifice double play, center fielder Felix Pie to third baseman Casey McGehee. Oscar Robles scores. Edwin Bellorin out at 3rd." It's 6-3, going to the 9th inning.
