These are the starters Raisin gave me for today.

[ctcf]

Plus, Wood today!

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Oh how I love Atkins/Hernandez day.

[BDWeav71]

Oh how I love Atkins/Hernandez day.

 

 

I will second this notion.

[NCCubFan]

Plus, Wood today!

And also Dempster, I believe.

Correct! His last rehab before getting activated tomorrow.

[Jon]

Ahem, thanks Jon...

Now you know hard it is for Raisin to post the rotations when sobriety is not an option.

 

Hopefully Veal can build on his last start a bit. Keep that walk total under 2, please.

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

The Don!

[Flames24Rulz]

Wood started for Mesa for one inning. He allowed 1 hit, no runs, no walks, and struck out 1. Mesa down 1-0 in the 9th.

Heh, it's a good thing Raisin already gave me the info, or the starters would have looked like complete jibberish.

 

I totally forgot about Wood. D'oh! Raisin even told me and I forgot to post it.

[ctcf]

Wood went 1.0 IP with 1 H 0 R/ER 1 K and 0 BB with 1 GO and 0 FO.

 

He will pitch again on Saturday.

[Outshined_One]

Jose Ceda is back in Peoria. :D Granted, as a reliever, but still.

 

Also, Hernandez had a productive and effective outing today. 6 scoreless, with 2 hits, 3 walks, and 2 Ks.

[NCCubFan]

It will be ineteresting to see if any players are held out of Iowa's lineup tonight. That may be a clue as to who will be called up in the event Floyd and/or Ward go on the DL.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Hernandez is going to repeat Peoria next year and absolutely dominate, I feel it.

 

Lets go Atkins, continue to show you should be a Smokie.

The lineup is up on minorleaguebaseball.com, but for some reason it's not showing on my computer. Can someone else post the lineup. I'm interested to see if Murton is playing tonight.

[Flames24Rulz]

Peoria wins 1-0. Great outing for Hernandez tonight: 6 IP, 2 hits, 0 runs, 2 K's/3 BBs. Ceda, Lambert, and Maestri combined to pitch the final 3 innings to preserve the shutout win. Darwin Barney had the only RBI in the game. Ryne Malone had three hits and Canzler had two.

 

Daytona's game was postponed.

Hmm...

 

Josh Kroeger not in the lineup for the 2nd night in a row. He had a pinch hit appearance last night. Wonder why he's not playing tonight?

[TruffleShuffle]

hahaha, chan ho park is the starting pitcher for round rock, and his ERA is over 5

If it is Kroeger, it wouldn't surprise me at all. There are several right-handers coming up, and here are Murton's and Kroeger's splits against right-handers in Iowa:

 

Kroeger: .314/.397/.627

Murton: .276/.341/.474

 

To come up for good, you select Murton (especially considering Floyd is the other right fielder). For a few days to start when right-handers will mostly be on the mound? Kroeger is a great option for that because he has just been absolutely destroying right-handed pitching at both Tennessee and Iowa.

[NCCubFan]

Kroeger is not a good option for a few days, because he's not on the 40-man roster. The best choice for a few days would be someone who's already on the 40-man roster and who has already used this as an option year.

Didn't you know we're going for the record for most people put on the 40-man roster in 1 season? :D

[TruffleShuffle]

3-run homer for patterson... i-cobs led 4-0, but now it's within one as mathes has given up a 3-run shot of his own

Something seems very familiar about all of this.
