Go Chattanooga! (Sounds strange to say that, but that's the only way the Jaxx can make the playoffs.) :(

Standings:

 

PCL American North
Nashville  75-64 .540   -
Iowa       72-67 .518  3.0  --- 5 games remaining

 

SL North
Huntsville    38-25 .603   -
Chattanooga*  35-30 .538  4.0 --- 5 games remaining
Tennessee     35-30 .538  4.0

 

If Chattanooga wins the SL North again, the Diamond Jaxx will make the playoffs.

 

FSL East
Palm Beach  34-27 .557    -  --- 5 games remaining for all 3 teams
Daytona     35-28 .556    -  ---
St. Lucie*  35-30 .528   1.0

 

Peoria already clinched a playoff spot by winning the MWL North in the first half.

 

Boise's magic number is 4:

 

NWL East
Boise     40-29  .580   -  --- 7 games remaining (including 6 against Tri-City)
Tri-City  35-34  .507  5.0

 

*First-half division winner.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

• The jump to Triple-A can be tough for some prospects, but that certainly has not been the case for outfielders Adam Lind and Matt Kemp or second baseman Eric Patterson.

 

...

 

Patterson, 23, collected hits in his first nine games for Iowa, went hitless for two games, and went 2-for-3 last night. In addition to hitting .386/.442/.477 at Triple-A, Patterson is also a perfect 6-for-6 in stolen bases.

[Brian]

Hopefully Gallagher ends his season with a bang.

[Mephistopheles]

Maybe Sean Gallagher can pitch his way into Kevin Goldstein's top 20 right-handed pitching prospects. He's one of the five honorable mentions:

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Neither are pitching today, but oh well. The only Cubs question in yesterday's Callis chat (and it's a no-brainer answer):

 

Drew (FL): Pawelek or Veal?

 

SportsNation Jim Callis: (2:59 PM ET ) Donald Veal.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Ryan Bicondoa starting today for Daytona, it looks like - due to Ernesto - they're skipping Mark Holliman and Carlos Perez.

 

Chris Robinson, the catcher acquired for Neifi Perez, was the FSL Offensive Player of the Week last week (in his first week with Daytona).

[jaxxradio]

Scoreless thru two at Pringles Park. Gallagher looks good

[Mephistopheles]

Two uneventful innings pitched for Sean Gallagher thus far.

 

2 IP, 1 H, 1 K, 4 FB, 2 GB, 7 BF

[CaliforniaRaisin]

FSL:

 

Daytona gives up a run in the top of the 7th and is now down 1-0 in the bottom of the 7th.

St. Lucie rained out, will play a DH tomorrow.

Palm Beach losing 3-0 to Jupiter in the 6th.

 

Remember, due to the uneven schedule in the FSL thanks to the rainouts the D-Cubs wouldn't make the playoffs if they tied Palm Beach because of the percentage points.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

PCL:

 

Iowa down 1-0 in the 4th.

Pie: 1/1

EPatt: 0/2

 

Nashville and Albuquerque are just underway in the New Mexico high desert.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Jerome gives up 2 more in the 4th, Iowa now down 3-0.

 

4 IP, 3 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 2 K, 50 pitches (32 strikes)

[jaxxradio]

Jaxx down 1-0 after four innings. I refuse to root against this team, so naturally I hope we sweep these guys and end the year on a good note.

 

BTW, I hate the half season.. it is total BS

[jaxxradio]

Gallagher thru five:

1R 1ER 4H 0W 7K 67 pitches

[CaliforniaRaisin]

BTW, I hate the half season.. it is total BS

 

Agreed.

 

Bicondoa leaves after a strong game...8.1 IP, 2 R, 1 ER, 6 H, 1 BB, 6 K. He leaves a man on who reached due to an error.

 

With 2 outs in the top of the 9th, Layden allows Bicondoa's baserunner to score on an RBI single. Daytona now down 2-0 as we go to the bottom of the 9th.

 

Worse, Palm Beach has tied their game at 3 after 6 innings.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Aaand Daytona loses 2-0.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Iowa is tied at 4 after 7 innings. Pie is 1/3, EPatt is 0/4.

 

West Tenn down 1-0 after 6. Gallagher finishing the year strong: 6 IP, 1 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 7 K.

 

Peoria up 5-1 after 5. Blackford: 5 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 3 BB, 2 K.

 

Boise opens up a 4-0 lead thanks to a 2-run HR from Matt Camp (his first pro HR). That's the score in the middle of the third inning. Renshaw: 3 IP, 0 R, 2 H, 1 BB, 2 K.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Iowa tied at 4 in the 7th

 

Pie is 1 for 3 with a sacrifice

Patterson is 0 for 4 with a K

Soto is 1 for 3 and was replaced by Reyes

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Palm Beach won 5-3. They open up a 1-game lead on Daytona and have the percentage points advantage in the case of a tie. Each team has 4 games left.

[jaxxradio]

Jaxx down 2-0 going to the ninth..

 

Gallagher: 7IP 2R 2ER 5H 2W 9K 111 pitches

 

great way to end the season..

[CaliforniaRaisin]

A lot of pitches, but that is a great way to end the season for Sean.

 

I expect he'll be finishing next season at Wrigley.

[Chris]

Jaxx down 2-0 going to the ninth..

 

Gallagher: 7IP 2R 2ER 5H 2W 9K 111 pitches

 

great way to end the season..
