Gallagher!

 

TBD must be talented; he's pitching for both Tennessee and Boise on the same day. :lol:

[vance_the_cubs_fan]

I'm hoping for a lights out start by Gallagher. Go Sean!

[Laura]

Go Sean Go!!!

 

I wish there was an XM radio setup for minor league games.

[cuubs4life]

Sean's last start as a cub :(

Sean's last start as a cub :(

Not necessarily. There are trade rumors, but there have been many false rumors as well as true rumors that fell through at the last minute (such as Jones to Florida).

This site will go nuts if the Gallagher doesn't start today.

 

Judging by Lou's comments in the paper today, it appears Gallagher will be called up pretty soon to pitch in the pen.

He was sent down July 20, so he could be called back up as early as tomorrow based on the 10-day rule. I hadn't seen that article, so I may have misinterpreted cuubs4life's comments (I thought he was referring to a possible trade as opposed to a callup).

[the splendid splinter]

Clevenger, Camp and Rea swinging the bat very well at Daytona, Clevenger also catching today.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Gallagher scatters a 2 out double amongst 2 K's in the first inning. A not-so-efficient 21 pitches thru 1.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Different inning, same story. 2 K's and a 2 out hit(this time a single)

 

2 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4/0 K/BB, 41 pitches for Gallagher

[Transmogrified Tiger]

1-2-3 third for Gallagher, 2 groundouts and a fly to Pie.

 

3 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4/0 K/BB, 50 pitches

 

Offensively, Pie, Patterson, and Soto are all 0-2.

[NCCubFan]

Exactly what he needed in the third to help his pitch count if he wants to go deep in the game.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

A little less conventional 1-2-3 for Gallagher in the 4th. Simokaitis committed an error to let the first man reach, then both were retired on an unconventional double play that I can't figure out.

 

4 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 4/0 K/BB, 57 pitches

 

Iowa leads 3-0 after an error on a sac bunt scores two runners.

[Transmogrified Tiger]

Sean strikes out the side on 13 pitches in the 5th. He's rolling.

 

5 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 7/0 K/BB, 70 pitches

 

And that's the final line for Gallagher, Cotts replaces him on the mound in the 6th.

[the splendid splinter]

Cards down 5-0 to Brewers are up 9-5. Tenn down 7-2 come back and win 9-7. Boise and Peoria in 1st place, Tenn down 2 games, Iowa 6 1/2 back and the Cubs .5 back.

[TruffleShuffle]

i can't contain my excitement that HENRY BLANCO hit a home run for peoria

Cards down 5-0 to Brewers are up 9-5. Tenn down 7-2 come back and win 9-7. Boise and Peoria in 1st place, Tenn down 2 games, Iowa 6 1/2 back and the Cubs .5 back.

And actually ahead in the loss column. \:D/

[the splendid splinter]

Peoria tremendous comeback in 10th with 4 runs to win 6-5. If Boise and Mesa win tonight it will be organizational sweep./

[Flames24Rulz]

i can't contain my excitement that HENRY BLANCO hit a home run for peoria

 

BLANCOWNED!

 

Iowa won 6-1. Cotts gave up the lone run. Jake Fox hit his 1st HR with Iowa and also doubled. Carlos Rojas was a homer shy of the cycle. Simokaitis also had three hits. EPatt, Felix, and Soto were each 0/5.

[karenmac]

the Chiefs game was *really* exciting today. The Blanco homerun was an absolute shot, and he hit another a couple innings later to almost exactly the same part of the park, just didn't quite get it all.

 

More importantly, the Chiefs came back from giving up 3 runs in the top of the 10th. Dayton has been so tough this series that I was definitely nervious. It was very exciting to watch and makes me sorry that the boys are headed to MI for a week to play tough West MI and Lansing teams. We are still ahead of Quad Cities for the division lead by 1/2 game though - keep up the good work Chiefs! :D

[NCCubFan]

Fox is the latest to take the Tennessee to Iowa via Chicago development route. That seems to be the standard anymore.

Did anyone listen to the I-Cubs game? I'm wondering whether Sean has been throwing his slider.
