That is a fairly exciting matchup for Boise. Pawelek v. Miller

Lincecum last start, Miller this time...Pawelek has faced some pretty good pitchers so far this year.

And he is not disapointing by any means. I have been very impressed with him his last 4 starts.

Daytona won 3-1 on a walkoff 2-run homer by Jemel Spearman! Bicondoa went 7 1/3, allowing 5 hits, 1 ER, 0 BB's, and 12 strikeouts. Layden got the win as he pitched a perfect inning and 2/3's, including striking out 2. Spearman was 1/4, with the game winning 2-run homer. Ryan Harvey was 2/3 with a double, a run scored, and a stolen base. Alan Rick was 1/3 with a double and an RBI. Nate Spears was 1/4 with a double. Culpepper was 1/3 with a stolen base.

Boy, I was excited about Bicondoa's numbers until I saw that he's a 27 year old reject of the Yankee system.

Billy Muldowney has finally returned from his hiatus, as he's currently pitching for Boise.

 

They're not doing so hot, though.

Yeah, I saw that when they acquired him. I'm glad he did well, but he's roster filler.

Boise lost to Eugene 10-1. Pawelek went only 3, allowing 5 hits, 2 ER's, 3 BB's, and struck out 4. Clipp went an inning and gave up 6 hits, 5 runs, 2 ER, walked none, and struck out none. Muldowney went 2, allowing 5 hits, 2 ER's, 1 BB, and struck out 4. Blevins pitched the final 2, allowing 1 hit, 1 ER, 0 BB's, and struck out 4. Boise's offense just managed 2 hits: a double by Camp, and an RBI single by Lansford. Colvin went 0/4 with a run scored.

Darrin Downs gets the start tonight for Mesa.

Darrin Downs gets the start tonight for Mesa.

 

Wow, that took long enough to get him back in action. This is the first time he's pitched in almost a month.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

That's former 37th rounder RHP Andrew Miller of Seminole State College in the Padres system. Not the one in the Tigers system.

I saw his K/BB numbers and started to wonder about that, I was having a hard time believing that such an advanced college pitcher was having so many problems with control.

4 game losing streak for the Jaxx. They're 4 GB Tennessee with 27 games left in the 2nd half. They also don't return home until the 15th of August.
