[E.J.]

I'm pretty sure I could strike out more people than Samardzija can. :x

[Brian]

GALLAGHER!

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I hope Sean has no problems stepping back into the role of a starting pitcher after three weeks of sporadic work.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Sean with a perfect first inning.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Soto homers :D 1-0 Cubs in the 2nd

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Gallagher through 4: 0 ER, 1 hit, 1 BB, 1 HBP, 4K, 54 pitches

[Guest]

Sean Gallagher with 4 scoreless and he's only given up 1 hit and 1 walk. Iowa up 3-0 in the bottom of the 4th...Buck Coats just hit a 2-run HR with Murton on base.

 

Tennessee up 1-0 in the bottom of the 4th.

 

Rehabbing Billy Muldowney threw a scoreless first inning as the starter for Mesa. Good to see one of the three injured Chiefs pitchers is getting back in action.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

Ronny with a HR, OPS approaching 1.000

[TruffleShuffle]

Ronny with a HR, OPS approaching 1.000

 

whatever von joshua has taught ronnie is working... he knows how to rake at iowa, that's for sure.

[Guest]

Gallagher done...very solid in his first start in about 3 weeks and his AAA debut: 5 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 4 K/2 BB, 8 GO-2 FO, 69 pitches.

[TruffleShuffle]

Gallagher done...very solid in his first start in about 3 weeks and his AAA debut: 5 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 4 K/2 BB, 8 GO-2 FO, 69 pitches.

 

probably just being careful because of his sporadic usage the past couple of weeks. Nice GO/FO ratio, too.

[Guest]

Iowa up 4-0 in the bottom of the 6th.

 

Justin Berg has been solid today with 6 shutout so far. Tennessee up 2-0.

 

Peoria up 3-1 in the second.

 

Mesa up 5-4 in the 6th.

[Laura]

yay Sean!

[Guest]

Peoria up 9-7 in the 7th, they were up 9-2 just a short while ago.

 

Iowa won 4-3, Tennessee won 4-1 and Mesa won 11-6 (Nelson Perez got his 3rd OF assist in as many Mesa games).

[Guest]

Samardzija not doing that hot. 2 IP, 3 ER, 4 H, 2 K/1 BB, 1 HR. Daytona down 3-0.

 

Peoria barely holding on, 9-8.

[Lockes Eye Scar]

2 K in 2 IP for Samardzija... suprising.

[Guest]

Daytona down 5-0. Samardzija: 3 IP, 5 R/3 ER, 7 H, 2 K/1 BB. :|

 

Peoria completely blew the 9-2 lead as Beloit tied it at 9 but in the 8th, Peoria scored twice to go ahead 11-9.

[TruffleShuffle]

good thing wilken liked samardzija, or i'd be worried about him

[TruffleShuffle]

wow, i just realized what a horrendous year mark reed is having. Not that I had high hopes for him anyway, but jeez. I think some people on this board could put up a .428 OPS for Daytona.

[Guest]

Daytona's offense is BAD with Colvin gone.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

Gallagher done...very solid in his first start in about 3 weeks and his AAA debut: 5 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 4 K/2 BB, 8 GO-2 FO, 69 pitches.

 

That's a nice looking line for him.

[TruffleShuffle]

boise's losing again... they've been really disappointing so far

[Guest]

Hopefully it's a repeat of last season where they started 2-8 and rebounded to make the playoffs (and hopefully guys like Donaldson and Thomas will come over and help that offense which hasn't been good). Alburquerque has 6 K in 4 innings but has 4 BB too.

 

Daytona came from behind to tie it at 6 in the 9th...Amador, Dopirak and Reynolds have all homered.
