[CaliforniaRaisin]

Probable Starters:

 

Iowa: RHP Randy Wells (4-3, 4.88 ERA; overall: 8-5, 3.02 ERA) @ RHP Jared Gothreaux (5-9, 4.62 ERA)

WT: RHP Federico Baez (2-1, 2.05 ERA; overall: 2-4, 2.83 ERA) vs. RHP Jose Oyervidez (4-11, 3.94 ERA)

Daytona: RHP Mark Holliman (7-10, 4.33 ERA)

Peoria: LHP Fabian Jiminez (0-1, 31.50 ERA; overall: 6-8, 4.47 ERA) @ LHP Mike Wlodarczyk (7-9, 3.65 ERA)

Boise: RHP Billy Muldowney (0-2, 2.55 ERA)

Mesa: RHP Jose Ceda: (0-0, 1.13 ERA; overall: 2-0, 4.06 ERA) & RHP Robert Hernandez (4-1, 2.10 ERA)

 

Wells (at Iowa & West Tenn): 110.1 IP, 94/25, 1.17 WHIP

Baez (at Iowa & West Tenn): 82.2 IP, 65/26, 1.17 WHIP

Holliman: 126.2 IP, 108/54, 1.32 WHIP

Jiminez (Peoria, Boise & Ft. Wayne): 106.2 IP, 65/59, 1.50 WHIP

Muldowney: 24.2 IP, 26/4, 1.18 WHIP

Ceda (Mesa & AZL Peoria): 31 IP, 46/16, 1.29 WHIP

Hernandez: 30 IP, 13/13, 1.30 WHIP

[CaliforniaRaisin]

In Jose Ceda's last 26 IP: 1.73 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, .188 BAA, 41 K, 13 BB.

Ceda as a Cub: 8 IP, 1.13 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, .188 BAA, 15 K, 3 BB.

Ceda is 5th in the AZL with his 46 Ks.

 

Mark Holliman's 108 Ks is good for a tie at 4th in the FSL.

[texascub]

I believe Petrick can come off of the DL today, can't he? If he does, is there any chance he'll get the starting nod?

[Laura]

 

Mark Holliman's 108 Ks is good for a tie at 4th in the FSL.

 

Holliman previously topped out at 113 IPs (college) in '05 and is currently at 127. I don't believe in absolutes in pitch counts or innings. But Holliman was cruising earlier and then hit a wall for awhile, and it wouldn't surprise me if part of that was because he's pitching more innings at a higher level than he has before. Pitching a full season is not easy.

Agreed, and that fits with what some scouts who have projected him as a big league reliever have said. But he's had 2 good starts in a row (8/12: 6.1 IP, 1 ER, 5/1; 8/7: 7 IP, 3 ER, 5/1).

I'm sure Billy would be starting if he did come off the DL. I doubt he's right with the possibility that he'll come off today, though.

You rock, Raisin!

[mul21]

Ceda is the guy we got for Walker right?

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Ceda is the guy we got for Walker right?

 

Yeah.

[jaxxradio]

Just a reminder, we will not be carrying the game on the radio tonight thanks to HS football. We will have Saturday's game.

Is this a one-time thing or will it be this way every Friday?

[jaxxradio]

Unfortunately every Friday..three games lost in all.. unless the Diamond Jaxx get on a hot streak to end all hot streaks and sneak into post-season.

Jim Callis chat at BA:

 

Q: Bryan from Chicago asks:

As a Cubs fan, I am disappointed with the peformances of Angel Guzman, Carlos Marmol, and Sean Marshall. Do they have any other pitching prospects in the system that I should be excited about?

 

A: Jim Callis: Don't be too disappointed -- rookie pitchers are going to be inconsistent. The best pitching prospect that the Cubs have in the minors right now is lefty Donald Veal, who is progressing rapidly. Sean Gallagher also has taken a nice step forward with his stuff this year.

 

Q: David from Toronto asks:

Jim, love your columns, but I have a concern. As a huge Cub fan, I can't help but notice your comments are getting bleaker and bleaker... Do you not think that had Mark Prior and Derrek Lee been even moderately healthy, that they wouldn't be in the thick of the weak NL playoff race?

 

A: Jim Callis: Maybe. But how can you count on Mark Prior being even moderately healthy until he shows he can go a full season without getting injured? Losing Derrek Lee hurt, but I still see a very flawed team even if he had been in there for the full year.

 

Q: Adam from Austin, TX asks:

What does Sean Gallagher have to do to gain some respect from the various baseball outlets? He's 20 years old and doing quite well at Double A and yet when talk of the Cubs top pitching prospects comes you rarely hear is name mentioned.

 

A: Jim Callis: I mentioned him a few minutes ago, Adam! His stuff has taken a nice step forward this year, whereas last year it was pretty average and didn't look like there was much room for projection.

 

And of course, the mandatory Jessica Alba reference in a Jim Callis chat:

 

Q: Todd from Boston asks:

How cool is your job that you can get paid to answer questions about baseball here and on ESPN.com? Can you think of any better jobs that don't include oiling up Jessica Alba?

 

A: Jim Callis: I do have a great job -- you won't ever catch me saying otherwise. Even when I'm swamped, I'm still working in baseball.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

In an afternoon game in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, Boise leads Vancouver 5-1 in the bottom of the 9th.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Boise wins it 5-1.

 

Matt Camp (3 for 4, 3 runs, 2 doubles, RBI), Tyler Colvin (3 for 4, 1 double, 2 RBI) and Steve Clevenger (2 for 3, RBI, BB) led the way offensively.

 

Muldowney started and went 4 shutout innings.

[NCCubFan]

Unfortunately every Friday..three games lost in all.. unless the Diamond Jaxx get on a hot streak to end all hot streaks and sneak into post-season.

Or unless they sneak in the back door if Chattanooga heats up and wins both halves.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Iowa is scoreless in the bottom of the 1st.

 

Felix Pie: 1 for 1, double.

 

West Tenn is losing 1-0 in the bottom of the 1st. Federico Baez gave up an unearned run, thanks in part to his throwing error.

 

Daytona trails it 2-1 after 4.

 

Ryan Harvey: 1 for 2, RBI infield single.

Mark Holliman: 4 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 4 K.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

The slumping Daytona Cubs lose 5-4. For the second straight day, one of their top relievers blows a lead - Paul Schappert gave up 2 ER in the 8th inning and takes the loss. The D-Cubs are now 1.5 out of first place and drop to third place.

 

Ryan Harvey finishes 2 for 4 with 2 singles and 2 RBI.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Peoria is being no-hit through 7 and losing 12-0. Gregg, Reynolds and Carter have all walked.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

The Peoria Chiefs are 1 out away from being no-hit. Francisco Tirado is their last hope.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Tirado:

 

Strike 1 swinging.

Strike 2 looking.

Ball 1 in the dirt.

Fouled back, still 1-2.

Strike 3 swinging.

 

Peoria loses 12-0 and is no-hit.

[rawaction]

Ouch. 12-0 and a no-hitter. That's not very fun.

[texascub]

Mesa is up 1-0 in the top of the 4th on a Samson rbi groundout in the 3rd to score Rosario. So far Ceda has gone 3IP 1H 5/4 K/BB 1-2 GO-FO.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Iowa loses 7-4.

Felix Pie: 4 for 5, double, 3 singles, 2 runs.

Freddie Bynum: 1 for 4, single, BB, RBI. Bynum at Iowa: .200/.250/.200/.450 in 15 ABs/16 PAs.

Randy Wells: 4 IP, 5 ER, 7 H, 5 BB, 3 K.

Manager Mike Quade was ejected in the 6th inning.

 

West Tenn lost 5-2.

Federico Baez: 5.1 IP, 5 R, 4 ER, 6 H, 4 BB, 0 K, 2 HR.

Aron Weston: 1 for 4 with a solo HR and 2 strikeouts.

 

Mesa is up 1-0.

Sounds like Jose Ceda has thrown a lot of pitches: 4 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 4 BB, 6 K.

Rundle has the night off. Andersen: 0 for 1, BB.
