I cant help but notice Hoff isnt in Iowas lineup. He wouldnt be on an airplane would he?

[Wrigley Rat]

I can't help but notice that everyone is out this fine Saturday evening. I am happily in, listening to some games online so here is an update:

 

Peoria up 4-3 in the 5th inning.

 

Daytona is up 5-4 with the bases loaded in extra innings (not sure what inning). Pitching change.

 

Tennessee is tied 1-1 in the 5th inning. "Holliman has been dominant tonight."

 

Iowa is tied at zero early in the game.

I cant help but notice Hoff isnt in Iowas lineup. He wouldnt be on an airplane would he?

 

Manager Lou Piniella said the Cubs will call up 1B Micah Hoffpauir before Monday's game at Houston, after Daryle Ward goes on the disabled list with a bulging disc in his lower back.

[Wrigley Rat]

Daytona wins 8-4 in extras.

[rawaction]

Marquis may be pitching for his spot tomorrow. Marshall threw 67 pitches, 43 for strikes and threw 5 scoreless innings, 3 hits, 2 BBs, 2 Ks. 6 flyouts, 6 groundouts. Felix is 0-3, with 2 flyouts and a failed bunt attempt.

[rawaction]

And Felix draws a 5-pitch walk. Eric Patterson is 3-4, and at 3rd with the go-ahead run in a scoreless game in the 7th.

[Wrigley Rat]

Peoria loses 9-8 in extra innings. The Chiefs had the lead, but poor defense lost it for Sasser.

[TruffleShuffle]

cotts got shelled... maybe that will stop people from complaining that he's in the minors

[Wrigley Rat]

Iowa Cubs lose 7-1.

[Wrigley Rat]

Tennessee loses on a walk-off hit (audio cut out - not sure what kind of hit, but it scored two runs to win it).

[sneakypower]

thats an encouraging outing for Petrick

 

Harvey...is there such a thing as a 1-1/2 A player?

[CubinNY]

Well, no player stood out at the Smokies-Biscuits games. Both offenses look pathetic.

 

I will say that the team doesn't look good now that Listach isn't coaching them. It's hard to explain, but with the talent on this team they should be a lot better. I don't know the coach's name but I wasn't impressed with their performance.

 

The Biscuts pitcher was working the high 80s and had a real mediocre curveball and they couldn't hit him.

 

Some notes:

 

Colvin showed good bat control (going the other way on a hit and run) and a great arm in right field. He almost threw a guy out at home from deep right field. He's still skinny as a rail.

 

Sam Fuld (I thought he was in Iowa) played a good CF and drove a ball that would have been out at Wrigley.

 

Mantulia didn't have an error, it was the SS, Simotakis (sp?). Mantulia playes a great 2nd but he's hitting .200.

 

Holliman and Shaver looked pretty good. Holliman was working in the high 80s and had a couple of nice off speed pitches. The umpire was squeezing the pitchers a little but there were a lot of 3-2 counts all night.

 

Riverwalk park is a beautiful minor league facility.

No, they're called insurance salesmen...or gas station attendants. :D
