And now Ronny goes yard. 1/2 with a HR and a walk. Iowa and Tacoma tied 3-3 in the 5th.

Last year he was suffering from a severe case of Dustyitis, which carried over. Maybe Dr. Joshua can successfully cure him of it. I hold out some hope for him because he did look good in his 2005 callup.

[TruffleShuffle]

home run by mr. clutch to give the I-Cobs a one run lead in the 9th

[Guest]

Randy Wells as a starter: 13 IP, 11.08 ERA, 11 K/8 BB, .333 BAA. Randy Wells as a reliever: 30.1 IP, 1.78 ERA, 31 K/13 BB, .212 BAA.

[TruffleShuffle]

rapada closes it out for a one-run win... I-Cobs lead Nashville by 2.5 games and have the best record in the league

[Balsa]

Ronny Cedeno, you are ridiculous.

Another update from Arizona Phil down at Mesa: http://mvn.com/milb-cubs/2007/06/05/update-from-arizona-phil-11/

 

Notes:

 

- Larry Suarez (Cubs big signing in Latin America last summer) struggled in the start.

- Harol Torentino (18-year old Dominican) was impressive, topping out at 96 and showing much better control than previously at ExST.

- Recent DFE signing Jovan Rosa went 2/4 with a stolen base and played some nice defense at third base.

- RHP Donny Walters (2006 30th rounder) was supposedly promoted to Peoria, no news on who was sent down.

Tennessee is now in the 10th, tied at 4. Jake Fox tied the game with a 2-run HR in the 8th inning.

 

Daytona down 8-5 in the 9th.

 

Peoria got 3 in the bottom of the 6th to take a 3-1 lead. Carrillo: 5 IP, 1 ER, 2 H, 5 K/1 BB, HBP.

[Guest]

Birmingham has taken a 5-4 lead in the 12th inning right now.

 

Daytona lost 9-5. Rough outing for Koerber. Colvin went 2/5 with no Ks.

 

Peoria is breaking this game wide open. They hit around in the bottom of the 8th to open up a 9-1 lead. Papelbon was great in relief, getting 4 Ks in 3 IP.

[Guest]

Donny Walters now in to pitch for Peoria in the 9th, making his minor league season debut today. Sounds like Al Alburquerque was sent down to extended in Mesa to make room for Walters.

[Brian]

hey Raisin happen to see anything on Pawelek lately?

[Guest]

hey Raisin happen to see anything on Pawelek lately?

 

Still at extended, when he does pitch in Mesa he still has control issues.
