Boring day for SP

Boring day for SP

 

It's been a couple days since opening day now.

 

But, Alburquerque is the most interesting.

[Laura]

Per Nathan, the Chiefs/Rattlers game has been snowed out again today. The Game will be made up in Peoria the last weekend in May.

True, but Marshall, Mateo, Samardzija, Veal, Ceda, Atkins, and probably others I'm missing are interesting beyond the opening day guys.

Yeah, I hear you. (Atkins was an opening day starter.) The whole Peoria rotation is interesting.

Where at in Austin do you live? The Express will be playing the I-Cubs next time I'm down there, but unfortunately the series will be in Iowa :(

[Flames24Rulz]

Iowa postponed tonight as well.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Heh, what are the odds that the two games in Florida aren't postponed due to precipitation?

 

IowaCubs.com[/url]"]Saturday's Pacific Coast League game between the Iowa Cubs and Round Rock Express was postponed due to inclement weather at the Dell Diamond.

The Express had never previously had to postpone a game at the stadium in 524 contests.

 

"We didn't want to prolong the inevitable for our fans, our players or our staff," Round Rock president Jay Miller said. "It's been a great run avoiding the rain and weather all of these years, but we have to look out for the best interests of everyone involved."

 

The game will be made up Sunday as part of a doubleheader, starting at 3:05 p.m. ET.

Well its 62 and sunny with no chance of precipitation until midnight. Jacksonville is 55 and sunny with no chance of rain until tomorrow.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Tennesseee down 4-1 after 1. Jake Fox with a double and a run. Berg: 1 IP, 4 ER, 2 H, 1 K, 3 BB.

 

Daytona down 3-1 after 2. Tyler Colvin out of the lineup for the second straight day. :? Todd Blackford: 2 IP, 3 ER, 5 H, 2 K, 0 BB.

[texascub]

Tennessee has cut the deficit down to 4-2 now. Craig doubled, advanced to third on a wild pitch, and scored on a Cates sac fly in the 2nd.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Daytona is now down 3-2 after 3.

 

Berg's final line in his AA debut isn't pretty: 1 IP, 4 ER, 2 H, 1 K, 3 BB.

[texascub]

Daytona is now down 3-2 after 3.

 

Berg's final line in his AA debut isn't pretty: 1 IP, 4 ER, 2 H, 1 K, 3 BB.

 

Any clue what his pitch count was? That line isn't pretty, but it isn't to the point that he couldn't turn it around either.

No, I wasn't at home during his inning pitched - 3 BB and a K does up your pitch count in a hurry, though.

[texascub]

Tennessee has tied the score at 4 in the 3rd. Fox is now 2-2 with 2 doubles.

[Flames24Rulz]

Tennessee has tied the score at 4 in the 3rd. Fox is now 2-2 with 2 doubles.

 

I'm surprised that the Smokies were able to tie it up. Once Jacksonville scored 4 in the bottom half of the inning, I thought it was over. Fox is having a solid game. Dopirak also has a single as well.

[texascub]

Well Schapert just gave up the lead again. Jacksonville is back on top 6-4 after 2 solo shots by Lindsay and Concepcion.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Jake Muyco gets a passed ball but throws out the baserunner at home plate to end the bottom of the 5th inning. Daytona is down 4-2 - Blackford gave up one in the bottom of the 5th.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Thanks to 2 Brevard County errors in the top of the 5th, Daytona tied the game at 4.

 

Blackford's final line: 4.2 IP, 4 ER, 7 H, 5 K, 2 BB

[Flames24Rulz]

Tennessee now down 6-5, headed to the 6th. Kroeger is 3/3 with a triple and an RBI.

[texascub]

Fox finally broke through with a HR tonight putting Tennessee up 7-6. Jorge Cortes walked infront of Fox and scored on the HR as well.

[CaliforniaRaisin]

Tennessee takes a 7-6 lead after 6, thanks in part to a 2-run HR by Jake Fox.

 

Daytona is threatening to break the tie.
